@marcsiry We still watch some tv too but I think their consumption is 90% youtube — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

But they also pointed out that YouTube already exists. — PolitiTweet.org

PS I just told my kids, age 11 + 10, that there used to be a TV network that was all about gaming and they are *very* intrigued and confused. — PolitiTweet.org

And, also, that even at publicly held megacorps, it's good to be the son of the boss. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Comcast looking through its closet and realizing that it has a brand that was specifically aimed at a demo that doesn't watch its core product and is just sitting around idle, tells you a lot about the up and downside of being a megacorp. — PolitiTweet.org

@Penenberg And b) what actually drives its business. Is it a lot of different people doing a lot of different things? Is it a handful of writers generating most of the attention/revenue? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@Penenberg Yup, I talked to Judd about it for the pod. And Substack says they have a bunch of people doing a bunch of different things. What I'm interested in is a) whether its brand becomes "place where people who've been Censored By The Man (Or The Mob Or Whatever) can Finally Speak!" — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@Kantrowitz Yes I am interested in both brand/optics and what's actually moving the biz. How's it going? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@cbalfe Maybe? Not a lot of big corporate brands on pod save. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@cbalfe Don’t think second half of your argument is correct but more interested in first half. Love to know how the sullivans of the world perform on substack vs any other kind of writers. That’s one we could answer with actual data. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

It will be weird if Substack becomes best-known as the place where center-right/“just asking questions” writers type things for money. Doesn’t seem like a good outcome for a venture-backed company that needs a *way* bigger market. — PolitiTweet.org

@danroth @propublica @mcuban It's a very *misleading* way to describe ProPublica. Also dumb: Since now we know what he was talking about, it strips the rest of his narrative of any credibility. You guys going to keep it on the site? — PolitiTweet.org

@ShiraOvide @dinabass Or find last year’s stories about Spotify going to EU vs Apple. Bonus points if you can connect a very specific dot. — PolitiTweet.org

@hblodget Moving backwards in time to this spring, where you were told not to get covid test, because they weren't really available. You only got one if you showed up at the hospital - and only if you were sick enough to be admitted to the hospital. — PolitiTweet.org
