Good story. The recurring “why doesn’t press/govt focus on YouTube” question may have multiple answers but a big one is: YT has huge cultural impact but not on the oldsters in the press and govt. It’s a giant thing they can’t see. — PolitiTweet.org

Snap, like Facebook, says Apple ad changes hurt their biz: “While we anticipated some degree of business disruption, the new Apple-provided measurement solution did not scale as we had expected, making it more difficult… to measure and manage their ad campaigns for iOS.” — PolitiTweet.org

Seems like the best case scenario for vax apps is that they are speed bumps. Won’t make you safe but reminds you of safe/socially acceptable behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

I don’t think it’s surprising that businesses and their employees don’t want to spend time (or get punched) scanning your vax app. But good data here from @rebheilweil https://t.co/b2fGGCAPcu https://t.co/4f9OiaeR6C — PolitiTweet.org

Otoh! As Levine notes, unlike the standard Trump grifts, this one will attract immediate regulatory headaches and shareholder lawsuits, because securitized. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Key point here: It literally doesn’t matter if Trump Media produces a single blog post, let alone a social network + TV + “tech stack” company. The SPAC is a securitized Trump fan club. (Again, wait for the NFTs). — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

The Trump SPAC was inevitable. Almost weird it didn’t happen sooner. “It does feel a little bit like all of recent financial history has been leading up to this moment?” @matt_levine of course. https://t.co/Hg8rqGDoTQ https://t.co/3d1LxBJctc — PolitiTweet.org

Dotdash CEO @neilvogel turned around an ailing web publisher. Now he’s about to run one of the world’s biggest magazine companies. Here’s his first interview about his $2.7 billion deal for Meredith, the company behind People + Better Homes & Gardens: https://t.co/TrQGrU7cIr — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the Scott Baio of pitch decks. https://t.co/u2qe5UyLT6 — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously Trump’s newco will destroy Twitter and Facebook. And CNN. Disney *and* Netflix seems like a stretch goal but if that works then yeah. They can definitely go for Amazon, Microsoft and Google’s cloud business. Ht @WilliamTurton https://t.co/MVwSN8Az8m — PolitiTweet.org

If you have questions or concerns about Truth Social, Trump’s yet-to-launch social network, you can write to the site at Mar-A-Lago. https://t.co/9OCmNvXhfD — PolitiTweet.org

Also wait till he hears about NFTs. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump SPAC is a delicious and exciting failure waiting to happen in full public view. So it will probably eclipse AAPL market cap within months. — PolitiTweet.org

@TweetsWithTim @DKThomp But Fb and YT metrics have meaning for advertisers. Here I guess the intended audience is still investors + talent. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@DKThomp Movies yes. More flex to the tv shows, though would be interesting to know how much # and length of eps affects that. — PolitiTweet.org
