Ok, this probably isn't going to work, but f**k it, we'll do it live.
If we did an impromptu 45 minute lunch discussion about political ads and the US election in about an hour, would you come along?.

The likeliest outcome in the US is, of course, that TV gets deregulated. In Europe, it points the other way.

One interesting thing about Trump getting cross about a lack of balance when Harris was on SNL is that SNL gets about 5 million viewers, yet is subject to all sorts of media regulation (which is what annoyed him). Rogan gets 11 million listeners/viewers per episode.

Everyone that isn't America is going to massively over-index on the influencers/podcasts thing, when their media markets look nothing like the US.

Eventually, someone's going to say "we should put these three hour podcasts on TV" and a few months later they'll realise they're just watching French television, every night.

Ooh an election. What a delightful surprise.
Ireland: Prime Minister Simon Harris (FG-EPP) has announced that a national parliamentary election will take place on the 29th of November, 2024. #Ireland.

Possible causes (ruling out the left wing ones):.- Young people feel really, really cut off from economic opportunity (but under 25s? really?).- Vertical video.- Both.
Incredible. From the Wisconsin exit poll: Trump wins by double digits among voters age 18-24, loses by double digits among voters age 65+. Virtually unfathomable 5-10 years ago

Interested in these shifts and the growth of vertical video over the same time period. Is there a way to study it? So hard to know what people actually see in their feeds.

I'm sorry to hear this. Lots of good people here, and always grateful for their support for @WhoTargetsMe over the years.
