Lot of optimism for this one. Just hope it isn’t cut-rate Boogie Nights. https://t.co/fDtTyqVyB1 — PolitiTweet.org

@Bernstein But also this review says the movie is a waste of your time and then spells out why in mind-numbing detail and purple prose. If it’s an Infinte Jest-style meta joke you need to let me know, because I stopped reading when there was quite a bit of scroll left. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bernstein Oh no. — PolitiTweet.org

@ShiraOvide To be fair apple clearly contemplated a world where they took a cut of consumer transactions not b2b. Then again roku does both - they want ad inventory/share plus install/subscription bounties. Just that the former category is much bigger/attainable. — PolitiTweet.org

@cbalfe Meanwhile my Tiktok experience ce involves watching a ton of the sopranos, a couple minutes at a time. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@cbalfe Yeah. Very curious re: the Office example. On the one hand it’s great promotion for NBCU and clearly not substitutable. Otoh I’m quite sure they are many at 30 Rock/Philly who think they should be monetizing those views. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@cbalfe Audio, too. I am really struck by that but I also believe copyright holders have a more sophisticated view of what massive distribution means for their content then they did circa 2005. — PolitiTweet.org

@carloshasanax I am watching the chipotle down the street automate some of their workers tho, out of necessity: labor shortage means they don’t want people working registers or taking orders so they now (often) require you to order online even if you go to the store. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonWechsler A very obvious difference is that in an interview pod the subject has close to total control over the output. A reported feature with an outside observer - and, crucially, input from people who see the subject differently than he does/wants you to see is something else. — PolitiTweet.org

@cwarzel To be fair this is an improvement from the previous model, where they paid $$$ to people who became briefly famous because of proximity to some kind of scandalous trial or other event that would be long gone by the time the book came out. — PolitiTweet.org

“Rightly or wrongly, fair or not fair, all digital media companies will be significantly tethered to BuzzFeed,” says BDG CEO Bryan Goldberg, who would like to go public as well. “The fate of BuzzFeed is going to determine the fortunes of a lot of other companies.” — PolitiTweet.org
