It's amazing how well prospects respond to receiving a personal video — but time and time again senders complain about the production cost — Tavus solves this! Fascinating product and not terribly surprised HN seems unimpressed about this sort of thing ;)

I knew the video marketing thing was taking off when 90% of the spam messages I get in LinkedIn started with "Hey Ryan, I know now might not be a great time to chat, so I created a video walkthrough..."

How does this work? Like, it's literally just the same spam, but with a video. Do people really find this to be more useful ? What makes someone click on a video when they wouldn't have read your email, or clicked a link? To me, it's all the same low quality cold outreach.

HN is definitely more inquisitive and critical about things like these but the discussion is actually really helpful for us! Appreciate the thought!
