Sometime in 2024, I fell in love with watches. The good, expensive kind. I was down a YouTube rabbit hole for something else and ended up in a watch-watching rabbit hole instead. Teddy Baldassarre. Kevin O'Leary. John Mayer's collection. I started making grand plans. But as with any decision in my life that involves spending a significant amount of money, I delayed the purchase as long as I could.
Meanwhile I went deeper. My YouTube was only watch videos. My Insta explore page was only watch reels. I was in love.
Then a friend I never thought would be into watches started posting about them. Then a couple of influencers who had never once mentioned watches, whose audiences couldn't care less about watches, started posting too. It didn't look paid. It looked like genuine love, which was the weird part.
Then I saw the pattern. Everyone around me who had suddenly discovered watches had the same profile as me: same age, same circle, same assumed income, same life stage. We hadn't found a passion. We were a TG with wrists.
Instantly, I fell out of love.
I retraced my steps. I had been reading a lot about equities, finance, numbers. Enough for the algorithm to figure out I could be sold watches as an asset class disguised as good taste. And I'm fairly sure everyone around me got the same treatment.
Here's how it works. First the recommendation engine gets you. Then performance marketing takes over. Then the feeds of your entire circle hit resonance, and FOMO finishes the job. True for recent watch lovers. True for recent coffee machine buyers. True for any trend where people who look like you all buy the same thing in the same year.
Who benefits? The platforms. Nobody at Instagram sat in a room and decided I should like watches. The machine just optimises for watch time, and it's very convenient that the things that hold a man in his 30s' attention cost as much as a hatchback. More watch time, more brands who need to reach that interest, more ad money. The platform gets paid whether you buy the watch or not.
The other winners are the early movers, the people who genuinely loved the craft before the rest of us got enrolled. In investing terms, they get to dump their interest on retail. They become the influencers, launch the product lines, land the brand deals. Teddy Baldassarre has a watch store now.
And the asset class part? Most watches lose value the minute you wear them out of the store. Even the hyped ones had been sliding on the resale market since 2022. So in 2024, I wasn't getting in early. I was being recruited after the top. I was the retail.
So these days I look out for the next planted interest and find the people who were there before the algorithm arrived, because capital will flow through them. Partner early and you can capitalise a little. Yes, I know. My response to discovering the scam is to ask for equity in it. Or at least profit from it.
How do you protect yourself from being planted? Every time I feel a new want, I ask how I felt about it at 13 or 14. Did it make me go, "one day I'm going to get that"? For me that's cars. Something beautiful would pass me on the road and it would actually take my breath away. And sneakers. Just walking into a shoe store made me happy.
Was 13-year-old me also brainwashed? Obviously. By car magazines and Nike ads. But a want that has survived all these years with nobody retargeting me has earned its place.
So now I run every want past my 13-year-old self. Because my adult self is heavily compromised.

We just killed two biggest limitations of your favourite AI agents:
Their memory and Your laptop
Almanac’s agents have unlimited memory, their own computers, browsers and access to the tools they need & they remember every call, document, decision and promise in your company, so they can keep working even when you’re not.
Close the laptop. Go offline. @usealmanac keeps working.

Almanac just launched on ProductHunt!!
We're moving towards a world where people want to give more and more content to their AI Agents.
But without proper compilation, it's just noise.
At @usealmanac, we're building this missing layer
have always felt the imposter syndrome while explaining/ teaching about the domain I’m building in, but totally agree as @dhh says become the best educator
There is always someone bigger in the space
how did @karthikrangappa handle this while building varsity for ZERODHA?

Introducing Almanac, the agent with a company brain.
It runs on its own computer, connected to your tools, with a living wiki of everything your company knows.
Send it a task. It texts you when it’s done.
We’re live today.

Introducing CodeAlmanac, the context layer for your engineering team.
For years, critical codebase knowledge has lived across people, docs, and old conversations. Agents start from scratch every time. That era is over.
CodeAlmanac let’s you make a shared wiki for your entire engineering team, and give the entire product context to each agent on the team, making it the 10x engineer.
One command to install. Open source.

Why should there be a WHOOP FOR HYDRATION
When WHOOP arrived, they made SLEEP tracking possible in a precise and easy way, never possible before
There's a fundamental human principle that 'what gets measured gets improved', and millions of people improved their sleep with WHOOP
Now what about hydration? Is it even a problem that needs to be solved? The answer is YES, because 75% of the World is STILL CHRONICALLY DEHYDRATED.
3 in 4 people are chronically dehydrated is insane if you think about it
You have been suffering from Dehydration related ageing not from days or weeks, but from months and years
Chronic Dehydration leads to our cells being weakened everyday, its like muscle mass decay in the 30s leads to so many problems in the 40s and later, and then suddenly one day you realise I'm feeling older than I wanted to be
To solve this problem, we're making the WHOOP OF HYDRATION
It tracks hydration with ZERO efforts, like WHOOP and It improves your STRESS, SLEEP and RECOVERY Score with H₂ Infused Water.
Three different double-blind place studies proved this antioxidant rich water improves your STRESS, SLEEP and RECOVERY
Search PubMed - PMC12413883, PMC12076047, PMC5806445
Follow if you want to improve your hydration in ZERO steps.

Since the story is paywalled, I've posted screenshots of the start and end of it. Foreign media seems to be covering the alarming direction in which Indian equities are heading, with a lot more detail and candour than Indian mainstream media.

ALT India stands out as one of the biggest losers as the artificial intelligence trade reshapes global investment flows. In a stark shift, the country’s stock market is on the verge of dropping out of the world’s five biggest for the first time in three years. Without the AI-driven rallies powering Taiwan and South Korea, there’s a growing risk that India falls further behind rather than regaining lost ground. The rationale goes far beyond Indian equities being relatively expensive or corporate earnings slowing. Global investors, who not long pushed India close to rivaling China in emerging-market portfolios, are now chasing themes the country’s market largely lacks: chip manufacturing, computing infrastructure and AI models. While India has talent, demand and digital scale, few of its corporate champions are directly linked to that buildout. That increasingly leaves the market tied to the domestic consumption story.
ALT The sustainability of that growth is in question, though. As many as 15 million Indians work in IT services and global capability centers, many in some of the country’s best-paying private jobs. A structural slowdown in hiring or a more fundamental shift in global demand for the services would ripple across the economy, into real estate, consumption, lending and the broader financial sector. And while the impact on the wider economy is yet to be felt, growth forecasts are already moderating, in a challenge to the narrative of India as a high-growth play. Gross domestic product will likely expand 6.5% in 2027 and 2028 each after an average annual rate of 8.3% in the last four years, the International Monetary Fund predicts. “The most dangerous thing about India’s current position is that the narrative is still optimistic enough that the urgency for that rethink hasn’t fully landed,” said Dugan at Global CIO Office.

I literally just watched GPT-5.5 via codex beat an Amazon customer associate in real time. 💀
I asked it to get me a refund, and I watched it navigate the settings, cancel the subscription, then it went step further into the help page.
I thought it was going to request a phone call (which would prompt me to take over)
Instead, it opened:
“Chat with an associate now.”
That’s when I sat up on my couch because I knew it was going to get real
The agent said:
“Your subscription is active.”
And GPT-5.5 immediately explained that it only shows as active because cancellation leaves access through the billing period, but that I wanted it stopped now and refunded.
And my jaw just hung open, it was the first time I watched sand handle a customer service agent for me in real time
Once the agent confirmed the refund, it just ended the chat no mercy no thank you LMAO
First time I’ve watched a human customer service agent get outmaneuvered by AI in real time.
And it made me 15$! almost paid for itself in 5 minutes
