It reads like I am applauding changes with AI. My intent was, &#8220;Why sit back and wait for problems to address them. This should be an ongoing process to make your business healthy.&#8221;  </p><p></p><p>My buzzkill comment:</p><div class="pullquote"><p>I personally like an approach of determining to pursue smarter ways of working all of the time. No point in stopping, right? New tools and technologies should aggregate into the work mainstream in any business in an iterative manner and on a ongoing basis. Well, at least that&#8217;s what I believe. Stay ahead of the problem. Don&#8217;t reinvent. Iterate.</p><p><strong>EDIT TO CLARIFY: If they are looking at new ways to evolve their business, shouldn&#8217;t they have been already doing this constantly as part of running a business? </strong></p></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[3rd party media shelved]]></title><description><![CDATA[De-prioritized]]></description><link>https://theadstacker.com/p/3rd-party-media-shelved</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://theadstacker.com/p/3rd-party-media-shelved</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2024 16:50:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_SVN!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3cde6229-630f-4939-ad67-20af3e194f27_800x800.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like the idea of having third-party media collected that would be of help or interest, and I may pursue it again down the road but for now I'm focusing on the quality of the content being posted and growing the number of engaged subscribers. </p><p>I don't want anything showing that appears half-assed or half done.
