Podcasts Are Taking Over YouTube. But Not For Long.

Podcasts have been taking over YouTube. Everyone from finance influencers to fitness influencers suddenly now has a podcast. This may be a bit confusing as the media has constantly been telling us that our attention spans have been shrinking, but podcasts are the exact opposite of short succinct content. One of the main reasons for the explosion of podcasts on YouTube is the departure of Joe Rogan from the platform. It turns out that audiences rarely leave platforms due to one creator. Rather, people tend to find new creators that fill the same void on the same platform. Aside from a massive demand for podcasts, creators have also fallen in love with podcasts due to their simplicity, networking opportunities, and monetizability. But, despite this, it’s not clear how much longer the platform can handle so many podcasts as there’s only so much time people can spend listening to podcasts. This video explains the monumental rise of podcasts and discusses the uncertain future of the podcasting industry.

How Generosity Became A BurdenThe American Tipping Crisis

Tipping has become a burden. 25, 35, 45% tips for a takeout order or mediocre service. If you don’t shell out a tip though, you often become the villain as you’re that one customer who didn’t leave a tip, but how did things get so bad? Well, tips weren’t always a part of American culture; in fact, early Americans were strongly against tips. It wasn’t until the mid1800s that wealthy Americans learned about tipping from European serfs. These wealthy Americans would bring this practice back to the states but it by no means caught one. This was the case until the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves resulting in most of them working in service industries. Many business owners would not pay these workers any base salary and they would be completely dependent on tips for income. So, it’s no wonder why people who were antislavery started tipping these people on a regular basis. This quickly became customary within American service industries and legislation only strengthened this trend. Pair this with the ease of paying and calculating tips offered by technology and you get to the tipping crisis that we’re currently in. This video explains the history of tipping and how generosity became a burden in America.

How Founders Became Tyrants

I’m sure you’ve heard about some of the most famous CEOs and visionaries of all time being fired from their own companies. This includes everyone from Steve Jobs and Elon Musk to Travis Kalanick and Jerry Yang. While this understandably leaves founders feeling betrayed, it’s often the right choice as the founders have simply gotten out of line. In many modern companies, however, firing CEOs is simply not possible even if they don’t own a majority stake in the company. This is thanks to something called multiclass stock. Essentially, multiclass stock gives certain shareholders more voting power than others. Founders and early investors brilliantly use this structure to retain more than 50% voting power despite only owning 10 or 15% of the company. Likely the two most notable companies leveraging this strategy are Google and Facebook but they’re by no means the only ones. Most modern tech startups leverage this strategy and even legacy companies are jumping on board. This video explains how founders and CEOs are using multiclass stock to rule companies like tyrants.

YouTube Has Become Pay To Win

YouTube has become paytowin. All of the top creators have several editors, scriptwriters, cameramen, and thumbnail artists. At this point, channels like Marques Brownlee and MrBeast are essentially fullon production studios as opposed to individually run channels. And with time, it seems that the gap between what creators used to be vs the production companies that dominate YouTube today is simply getting larger and larger. While this is a shame as it destroys the authenticity of YouTube, it’s not all that surprising. In virtually every other media industry, the biggest successes are usually the ones with the best production quality. In the movie industry, Marvel, Avatar, and Disney dominate the leaderboards. In the gaming industry, GTA dominates the leaderboards. And in the TV industry, the best shows like Stranger Things often have ridiculous budgets. This isn’t to say that there aren’t exceptions to this trend, but that’s what they are: exceptions. This video explains how YouTube slowly trended towards becoming more like traditional media and became paytowin.

People Love Mocking The Metaverse. Mark Is Getting The Last Laugh.

People love mocking the Metaverse for its graphics and lackluster immersion despite Meta having spent tens of billions on the platform, but the reality is that Mark Zuckerberg is getting the final laugh. You see, Zuckerberg has been trying to free Meta from social media for quite some time. In fact, before his obsession with VR, Zuckerberg was trying to build a satellitebased internet service similar to SpaceX’s Starlink. When that idea fell apart though, Zuckerberg switched over to the Metaverse. But, while Zuckerberg is more than willing to bet big on the Metaverse, he’s by no means tied down by the idea either. If he comes across a better avenue of diversification, he’s more than willing to give that a shot as well. Recently, it appears that he has come across one such avenue: generative AI. Meta has been involved with AI research for several years at this point, but since the beginning of this year, they’ve doubled down on their efforts. So, while people laugh at Zuckerberg, he’s constantly looking for the next product to diversify Meta which he will eventually find. This video explains the rise and fall of the Metaverse and Meta’s new focus on AI.

$141 Billion On AcquisitionsIs This Sustainable?

Microsoft has gone ham on acquisitions over the past decade spending over $140 billion on buying companies like LinkedIn, GitHub, Mojang, Zenimax, Nuance, and most recently, Activision Blizzard. These acquisitions have made Microsoft look like a genius over the past decade as they have allowed Microsoft to finally grow past its dotcom high and push to the next level. However, while this strategy works great during bull markets, it often doesn’t work out as well during bear markets and times of uncertainty. You see, managing vastly different businesses with different cultures, goals, and users is not as easy as you might think. In fact, this was one of the main factors that eventually took down GE. They were simply involved in too many unrelated businesses which finally caught up to them. This video explains the pitfalls of GE and the unsettling similarities Microsoft has to GE.

Airbnb Screwed Up The Housing Market…And Is Doing Better Than Ever

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the state of the current housing market. Home prices and rent are higher than ever and it seems like they’ll never come down despite high interest rates and increasing unemployment. One of the driving factors of this trend is none other than Airbnb which is quite ironic given that Airbnb was founded for the exact opposite reason. Airbnb was designed to help hosts earn a bit of side income and help guests get cheap local accommodations. But over time, Airbnb has turned into a luxury property rental platform and economics have fallen down the list of priorities for hosts and guests. This has also largely skewed home prices and rent prices. This video tells the story of Airbnb and how the company inadvertently screwed over the housing market and ended up doing better than ever.
