@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

@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

And by “exciting failure” I obviously meant “chance for Trump to bring in way more money Trump Steaks or Trump University, though he will have to spend some of that on defense lawyers.” — 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

BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti says he’s still ok running a news operation that loses money. But less so. “I’m still comfortable with it. To a point. But it’s not the same point it was in the past.” — PolitiTweet.org

This is very good and was written before the New Yorker published a Jeremy Strong profile. — PolitiTweet.org

@lpolgreen Main takeaway is that he is not acting on Succession. — PolitiTweet.org

Against overwhelming evidence to the contrary, TV news execs still treat anchors like star athletes who can make or break a team, so they need to be fawned over/protected. — PolitiTweet.org

You’ll probably end up watching Licorice Pizza at home, just like you did with Dazed and Confused. But if you can see it on a big screen (with good sound) next few weeks, please do. It’s a really enjoyable sprawl. https://t.co/BELCYlCJys — PolitiTweet.org
