Why is every startup using that same Serif font now, Garamond or whatever. Is it an LLM design phenomenon? Its kinda ruining that font style for me.

Also $1,500 a month for 10 "influencers" is wild. This doesn't seem that sophisticated unless they're doing something special to increase trust scores of accounts. They say they have "in house warming algorithm" which honestly doesn't inspire confidence for me.

Whats funny is its almost a certainty (if they are doing things correctly) that they have literal farms of phones (probably in SEA). The only real way to keep trust high is to have a real mobile connection and unique devices. Proxies are okay, but you really need to use the apps on real hardware.

I think the font is mimicking old Apple ads, eg: https://i.insider.com/5bf8592eb73c284de50e2f28

Yep. They got hacked in the past, 1k+ smartphones reported.

The cost is the attestation keys of a real phone. Once it gets burned, the phone is useless to them.
