Why Microsoft Spent $20 Billion Acquiring A No Name Company

But have you ever heard of Microsoft’s acquisition of Nuance Communications? Nuance Communications is a background healthcarecentric tech company that doesn’t receive all that much press coverage, but they’re massive. In fact, 55% of physicians, 75% of radiologists, and 77% of American hospitals use Nuance solutions. So, by purchasing Nuance, Microsoft immediately became the dominant player within the healthcare industry as well. But, all of this is just stage one for Microsoft with Nuance. Their real longterm goal is to encourage and maximize Azure adoption and usage throughout the healthcare industry which is only now converting to the cloud. This video explains the story of Nuance Communications and why Microsoft spent $20 billion acquiring a noname company.

TikTokers Are Getting A Harsh Reality Check
We’ve all seen TikTokers rise to fame overnight. All of a sudden, they have millions of followers, tens of millions of likes, and hundreds of millions of views. But while they might be famous, this vitality doesn’t actually translate to much money, at least not from TikTok itself. Obviously, creators are able to do brand deals, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing which makes it worthwhile, but the income from Adsense is quite low, to say the least. Khaby Lame for example is the most followed TikToker on the planet with 159 million followers. But given that TikTok only pays $0.02 to $0.04 per 1000 views, even Khaby has only earned about $540,000 in ad revenue. Not a bad amount, but let’s not forget that he’s the most followed TikToker in the world. Where this becomes an even bigger problem is for the platform whose only source of revenue is ads. This is one of the main reasons that TikTok is still not profitable despite being one of the world’s most popular platforms. This video explains TikTok’s monetization crisis and the uncertain future of TikTok.

Here’s How Powerful IBM Really Is
Do you remember IBM? Most of us have completely forgotten about IBM as they’ve more or less disappeared into the background after getting destroyed in the personal computer market. As such, you would assume that IBM is standing on their last legs just trying to make things work but they’re actually making quite an unexpected comeback with their acquisition of RedHat. RedHat probably also sounds like a completely foreign company that’s irrelevant, but they actually play a critical role in server infrastructure. You see, all of the world’s servers don’t run Windows or MacOS, they actually run a version of Linux mostly from a company called RedHat. This might be confusing because Linux is free and open source which is true, but where RedHat comes into play is their firstclass support to minimize downtime and maximize the efficiency of massive server rooms. This has made Red Hat a major background giant for years until IBM bought the entire company for $34 billion in 2019. This video explains how RedHat managed to dominate the entire server world and the future of RedHat under IBM’s leadership.

The Internet Legend That’s Classified As A Terrorist
We’ve all heard about internet legends who have done everything from exposing corruption to creating the most memorable websites of all time. One of these internet legends is Kim Dotcom, the founder of MegaUpload and later Mega.nz. While these sites are often cherished by its users for some rather nefarious purposes, governments and specifically copyright holders aren’t exactly enthused about these websites. In fact, they have not only tried to take down these websites, but they even raided Kim Dotcom’s house across international borders just to send a message. Kim, however, has refused to give in to these threats as he actually has the resources to fight this uphill battle with a net worth of $200 million. In fact, he’s been fighting this battle for the past 11 years and it appears that they have come to a stalemate as Kim has yet to be extradited to the US but he has also not been exonerated. This video tells the insane story of Kim Dotcom and MegaUpload: the internet legend that’s classified as you know what.

Running Out Of Places To Put Ads...What Now?
Over the past years, you’ve probably noticed way more ads all across YouTube and far fewer ways to effectively block them. As YouTube grows into a mature platform, YouTube is having to shift their focus from growing their audience to better monetizing their existing audience which of course includes more ads. But, this model can only take them so far. Eventually, social media platforms will become so adridden that people will no longer want to use the platforms, at least not as much. Not to mention, adding more ads is very much a diminishing returns strategy when it comes to monetizing social media. That’s why social media platforms are pivoting to direct monetization efforts, specifically subscriptions. YouTube has had YouTube Premium for years now but more recently Facebook jumped onto the bandwagon as well with a paid premium version of Instagram. This video explains the evolution of social media monetization and the future of subscriptionized social media.

What Happens To America After Big Tech Stops Growing?
People love to hate big tech and their antics and it’s not surprising why. Big tech has monopolized much of the tech industry and engages in shady practices like data collection and privacy intrusion. But, as much as we all love to complain about big tech, an important consideration is what would happen to America without big tech. Much of the growth that America has enjoyed since the 2008 financial crisis is largely due to relentless growth at big tech, and this disparity has only widened after the pandemic. Since the beginning of 2023, these stocks have returned an average of 92% and have singlehandedly lifted the entire stock index by 12.4%. As such, the future of America may not be so bright after big tech stops growing. In fact, America may be headed for a future like Japan where growth has almost completely halted. This video explains what may happen if big tech stops growing and the longterm repercussions of that.

When Companies Secretly Use Their Rivals’ Products
Normally, you’ll never catch companies promoting or even mentioning their competitors' products. They strongly believe that all press is good press, so they’re careful to never discuss competitors. And if you ask them directly about the competition, they’ll only have extremely negative stuff to say. But, most of this is just for the cameras. Behind the scenes, a lot of these fierce competitors not only work together but are extremely interlinked partners. Really, the only true loyalty that any of these companies have is to the bottom line. Some of the best examples of this are how all of Apple’s displays are made by Samsung or how Netflix actually runs on Amazon’s servers. As such, we shouldn’t fall for this branding hype that these companies put out because, in the end, they don’t even drink the KoolAid themselves. This video explains the top instances in which companies actually secretly use their competitors' products behind the scenes, and why you shouldn’t buy into brand loyalty.
