It’s always such a good idea to put things on multiple axes. I wonder if chatgpt would’ve had this insight or if it’s an example of something that would require some prompt engineering.
I thought the theory was people are dumber than ever thanks to smartphones, social media, decreased attention spans, etc. I would take a bet that the average person is not even close to as smart as the average Harvard grad.
This is generally a trend with all the solopreneur internet careers, but it’s not a good path for everyone and many other types of small businesses are on the decline so it’s hard to say.
To be fair I think the average specialty latte at Starbucks is more like $6. $6 seems to be the going rate in the Bay Area for a latte at a local coffee shop too although I have seen some going even higher recently.
Basically they sell Starbucks coffee but they aren’t an actual Starbucks and therefore don’t usually have all the promotions, products, marketing that the corporate Starbucks do.
