Eagles vs Commanders, Tonight at 20:15 ET on Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
Eagles: 7-2 record (1st place NFC East)
Commanders: 7-3 record (2nd place NFC East)
GIBBI View: This is a tremendous and important games for both teams because it’s on play the 1st place the NFC East; Eagles have 5 straigh victories and will play in home: Commanders were leading this division for 5 straight week but last week lost it and Jayden Daniel played his worst game of the season; My Prediction: Eagles win this game by 3+ points difference

Short-form posting platform Bluesky crossed the 15 million user mark yesterday amid a recent surge of user signups in the wake of the US presidential election
The platform, which rests on the decentralized AT Protocol, added about a million new users in the last week
Meta’s Threads is still outpacing Bluesky, having recently hit 275 million monthly users and growing at a rate of over a million signups per day
GIBBI View: This remember me when Donald Trump won U.S. Presidential Election 2020 a lot of people (especially famous) told that they were going to leave the country if Trump won it but Trump won it and never left the country, so this is similar that will happen where people that are deciding to open a Bluesky and Thread account sooner than later they’re going to return to X because it’s were all people are

Canada Agrees With US Concerns About México’s Trade With China (BNN Bloomberg)

Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said American concerns about Mexico’s trade policy not being in line with its North American allies on China are “legitimate,” and she shares them
She said they have “concerns that Mexico is not acting the way that Canada and the US are when it comes to its economic relationship with China, and I do have some sympathy with those concerns”
Mexico has argued it’s already doing its part, imposing tariffs earlier this year designed to curb the flow of steel from China after the US complained it was ending up in products shipped north across the border
GIBBI View: Here in México we’re living in a difficult situation where Claudia Sheinbaum and her party (MORENA) are trying for all means to break relations with U.S. (or biggest commercial partners) and Canada because México has decided that our best option right now is China because the communist ideology that AMLO (former President of México and creator of MORENA) let to the country, so if México breaks these relationships I think that this would cost the country more than 30 year of development and the consequences would be “too costly”

The Amazon Haul store, currently available on the mobile app or mobile web browser exclusively, offers similar mass-produced, discounted items, most of which ship from China
The landing page for Amazon Haul is reminiscent of Shein and Temu even in its design: Items appear in grids, rather than Amazon’s typical list, and shipping times and star ratings aren’t visible unless you click on an item
One risk for Shein and Temu is that consumers may not feel comfortable making purchases from unknown sellers that could potentially be misleading; consumers have more existing trust in Amazon, but the company is working with similar, largely China-based sellers of mass-produced goods
GIBBI View: I’ve read about that Amazon was planning to develop this new app 4 months ago and I think that this is great solution to compete against Temu & Shein; in personal experience, I only try to buy any online things (clothers, food, books, loans, etc) on Amazon and Mercado Libre because except these two I can’t trust any other app/company

Spotify Unveils A New Payout Model For Creators With Popular Videos (Engadget)

The music and podcast app announced a new “Partner Program” that monetizes audio and video beyond income from advertising starting on January 2, 2025
The new monetization program pays Spotify creators in two ways:
- Creators can earn a share of ad revenue from their content on all platforms through its Partner Program
- They can also earn money through monthly podcast subscriptions that “allow listeners to support creators directly in return for exclusive bonus content and perks”
The Spotify Partner Program requires participants to host and upload their content through its Spotify for Creators platform, have streamed 10,000 hours and at least 2,000 unique views in a 30-day period and published at least 12 episodes
GIBBI View: This is a great opportunity to creators like me because we can earn an extra money just because we create content, the problem is that my videos will have to achieve some target that I’ve not achieved yet and this new program won’t be able in México yet, so the only I can do is to keep creating content and see what I can achieve
