“Despite surface differences, each outlet follows the same modern B2B media blueprint: premium paywalls first, high-margin extensions second, tiny newsrooms zero dependence on programmatic ads, all three have landed in that $25-40 million “boutique intel” sweet spot.”.

I asked ChatGPT to come up with estimates & compare strategies of three of *the* most premium business media/info companies: @theinformation, @BoF & of course @Skift. Fascinatingly, all in similar topline range if this is accurate-ish, with three contrasting ways to get there.

Words matter, because they are the cause dehumanization. Yesterday, I walked past a bus stop ad in Astoria — my NYC neighborhood celebrated as one of the most diverse places on Earth—and felt my heart drop. This ad read: “Adopt a teen. You can’t imagine the reward.” But someone

This is one of our guilty pleasure channels on YT, the guy’s enthusiasm for cooking is infectious and rural cooking is so soothing.

I haven’t had cable connection since 2009, but now for our household cord-cutting is not even watching Netflix/Hulu etc, and instead my wife and I watch YT videos together in eve, podcasts and ilk. Curious how much streaming TV cutting going on….

One of the more fascinating things to me is almost *every* new AI capability is launched/illustrated using travel booking/planning examples and yet the sector has seen very little real world business built out of it besides early experiments and gimmicks. What explains this.
