They gained nine million subscribers last quarter and now have a positive cash flow.” “They're a television channel with one revenue stream. In the history of television you have to go back 50 or 60 years to find a truly long term profitable television channel that had one revenue stream. And that was back when there were three channels broadcast.” “I don't like doomed, doomed is hyperbolic. They're not going to go out of business, but they're going to gently become what CBS is now.” “The NY Times has probably one of the best lifestyle bundles, one of the best super aggregation Platforms in media. It’s a really tight package and they're doing it with 10 million subscribers, not 200 million subscribers.” “Younger consumers are much more likely to pay for content than older consumers, but they want to get their money's worth. The best example I can give you is Spotify.” “Apple is facing some issues. First of all they skew to the rich, you know the cost of their products are exorbitant. Every single one of their Hardware products fell in sales in the third quarter except the iPhone, and it only went up 2%.” “60% of the planet's eight to 15 year olds play Minecraft.”  “People on other social media platforms make fun of LinkedIn, but it's the last bastion of Peace in social media. It's the last place in social media where being a douchebag isn't celebrated.” “I think you're going to start to see creators go on strike against platforms like Tik Tok and YouTube and meta to get better shares of revenue.” ======================
