Seems bad? On the other hand one day I’ll have a good excuse for not paying attention to anything anyone says. https://t.co/scR5RZD0QS — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve spent years wondering how much damage I was doing to my ears with iPod/iPhone/AirPods + subway commuting. And how much liability Apple thinks it will eventually have. Never seen this before tonight tho. https://t.co/Wo4ZGGP1v4 — PolitiTweet.org

More meaningful, for now, has been Netflix signaling an interest in owning a sports league. — PolitiTweet.org

@thebenpatterson Their strat so far - and it has worked for them so far - is continue to find ways to create exclusives for every conceivable permutation. See: Amazon paying $1 billion a year for a single Thursday night game a week. — PolitiTweet.org

@thebenpatterson Value for those buyers is exclusivity. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Context: *MLB has tons of games and some have been or are available on lots of digital platforms: Amazon, YouTube, Facebook. No one is subscribing to Apple TV for two games a week. *Big sports prize remains NFL’s Sunday Ticket. $$$ but easily affordable for big tech. — PolitiTweet.org

Apple’s first foray into live sports is a cautious one: Two MLB games every Friday night (when/if baseball comes back). “Free from local broadcast restrictions.” https://t.co/OmD1AzxA8D — PolitiTweet.org

Now Apple is fine with you watching Apple TV on Samsungs or Rokus or whatever, bc services. And Comcast is fine if you pay it for broadband and someone else for video. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Apple TV on Comcast boxes is nbd - you can already get it on tons of other TVs and boxes. But it underscores a big shift from not that long ago, when Apple services were locked into Apple devices, and Comcast’s version of internet TV didn’t include TV other people sold. https://t.co/9rlXkGq582 — PolitiTweet.org

Pre-explained this in 2019. https://t.co/YbHPSdnWRP “It’s hard to see how any of this is good for consumers, as they’ll be asked to either pay for more services than they are paying for now or, at a minimum, to pay attention to multiple services and watch those services’ ads.” — PolitiTweet.org
