Whatever Happened To Wish.com?

Remember wish.com? They were the Temu of the world before Temu existed. They specialized in selling ultracheap goods online almost like an online dollar store. One of the only reasons this was possible though was because Wish.com was taking a massive loss on each and every item sold. While this was extremely effective in growing Wish.com, it built very little customer loyalty. Customers were only loyal to the price and when the prices went up, the customers went away. But likely the biggest problem that wish.com faced was terrible quality control. Given the nature of wish.com, the site was flooded with a bunch of knockoff sellers who sold terrible quality goods or straightup ran scams. This largely eroded consumer trust and people slowly became scared to buy on wish.com. This video explains the rise and fall of wish.com and what happened to the company.

What Happened To Panasonic?

Panasonic is one of the most iconic Japanese electronic companies of all time. Against all odds, Pansonic rose from the ashes following WW2 and grew to dominate the global electronics market in a wide variety of industries from appliances to TVs. But, more recently, the state of Panasonic isn’t nearly as healthy or strong. In fact, Panasonic has been on a decline for the past 30 years during which time the company has laid off over 150,000 employees. But what’s even more concerning is that based on their balance sheet and financial statements, MacroAxis has given Panasonic a bankruptcy probability of over 100%. This massive fall from grace may seem surprising at first glance but when you take a look at how Panasonic has strayed away from their roots, it all starts to make sense. The 3 principles that allowed Panasonic to dominate the world were their willingness to always keep experimenting, pairing great products with even better marketing, and leveraging downturns to the max. However, the modern Panasonic doesn’t do any of this resulting in their current bleak state. This video explains the story of Panasonic and its visionary founder Konosuke Matsushita and what happened to Panasonic.

UberThe Most Fragile Business In The World

Uber is one of the most recognizable startups in the world, but they are also one of the most fragile businesses in the world. Despite growing to ubiquity and charging significant fees to drivers and users, Uber has struggled to make the business profitable. Before, they would point to substantial revenue growth as a justification for why they weren’t profitable. But, more recently, revenue has more or less stalled out as well. One of the main reasons for this is that while Uber is a tech company, they don’t benefit from the efficient scaling of tech companies. While Uber has streamlined the process of getting a ride, every ride still needs a driver which has made it difficult to make economies of scale profitable. This video explains the various challenges plaguing Uber’s business and their struggle for profitability.

How Did Europe Fall So Far Behind? (In Tech)

Europe is often described as one of the most developed regions in the world. In fact, it’s often even pointed to as the gold standard for various systems whether it be schooling or welfare, but there is one notable sector in which Europe has consistently been following behind: tech. Europe only has a few notable tech companies in the Fortune 500 while the rest of the list is dominated by American and Chinese tech companies. But, not only does Europe not have any megacap tech companies but they’re also being paid far less for the same positions almost like a secondworld country. On average, European engineers are only paid about half as much as American engineers, and when we peel back the layers it’s not surprising why. In general, Europeans tend to have much more life balance meaning that companies can get far less productivity from each employee. Not to mention, Europeans aren’t necessarily always chasing the maximum compensation or title like their American counterparts. This video explains the various reasons why European tech workers are paid substantially less and how Europe got left so far behind.

The Wikipedia Black Market

We’ve all been told to never trust Wikipedia articles but have you ever thought about who actually writes these articles? Well, it’s usually just a bunch of dedicated volunteers who are looking to make information more accessible but there’s a much darker side of Wikipedia as well: the black market. There are entire businesses built around the idea of writing Wikipedia articles for businesses and individuals. Theoretically, these businesses are simply supposed to help people navigate the tricky world of publishing on Wikipedia, but it’s likely that they help with much more than that. Many of these businesses aim to build a specific online persona for a given customer. Some businesses even take it to the next level and help their clients get into reputable publishers like Forbes, Business Insider, and CNBC. Of course, this is not cheap and can easily cost $15 to $20,000 but for certain businesses, that’s more than worth the cost. This video explains the black market of Wikipedia and how people are able to buy biased Wikipedia articles.

After 34 Years, Japan Has Finally RecoveredWhat Now?

After a grueling 34yearlong bear market, the Japanese stock market has finally recovered past its 1989 peak. What started as a lost decade for Japan turned into lost decades and the only reason that Japan was eventually able to recover was thanks to the government taking on massive debt and engaging in quantitative easing. Japan is the most indebted nation in the world in terms of debt to GDP. Many are wondering if Japan will be able to make a comeback now that they have fully recovered but that doesn’t seem likely. The reality is that modern generations and the Western world are no longer looking for the same attributes that made Japanese products successful in the first place. Japan made a name for themselves making affordable and reliable products. While people still very much value affordability and reliability, they’re often looking for more than just that, and it’s not clear if Japanese companies will be able to deliver. This video explains the fall and recovery of Japan and discusses if Japan has a brighter future ahead.

The 1.2 Billion Sub YouTuber That’s Losing It All

We all know about the biggest YouTubers on the platform like MrBeast, Airrack, Ryan Trahan, MKBHD, and MrWhoseTheBoss, but have you ever heard of a guy named Pavel Radaev? I’m gonna guess no but Pavel Radaev actually has over 1.2 billion subscribers on YouTube across his dozens of channels. Some of his most popular channels include Bright Side, 123 Go, 5 Minute Crafts, and Slick Slime Sam. All of these channels are owned by a corporation called The Soul Publishing which is led by Pavel Radaev. Despite its name, Soul Publishing is very much a soulless content farm that managed to do really well back in the late 2010s when YouTube centered around high clickthrough rates. But, as YouTube has shifted its focus to audience retention and satisfaction, most of Soul Publishing’s channels have started to see a massive decline. Bright Side for example has seen a decline of 70 to 75% in terms of viewership and some channels have even shut down like Actually Happened. This video explains the rise and fall of Soul Publishing and why the massive YouTuber is losing it all.

Google’s First Big Acquisition In 19 Years?Hubspot

Have you noticed that Google hasn’t had a big product launch or acquisition since the 2000s? Back in the day, Google was launching and acquiring winners left and right from Google Maps and Android to YouTube and Chrome. But since then, Google’s momentum has largely slowed down and that’s not due to a lack of effort. For example, in the 2010s, they launched Google Glass, Google+, and Google Pixel, but these products didn’t live up to Google’s expectations. And more recently, Google has tried to launch AI products such as Google Bard and Google Gemini, but once again, these products have largely fallen to the wayside in favor of ChatGPT. Instead of fighting against this trend, it looks like Google is shifting to go with the flow. They’ve shifted the vast majority of their growth focus to Google Cloud and now, there are rumors that they might buy out enterprise giant Hubspot. This video explains the possibility of Google acquiring Hubspot and how this would redefine the direction of the company permanently.

Here’s How Powerful Microsoft Really Is

Have you ever wondered where all of the world’s code is stored? Maybe in some highsecurity secret database that no one has access to? Well, the world’s code is actually stored on a platform called GitHub which is owned by Microsoft. GitHub is actually a relatively new product having been founded only in 2008. But from day one, Git was off to a strong start given that it was created and supported by the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds. So, it was only a matter of time until Git became prevalent within the opensource community. Google and Microsoft would jump onto this trend as well and put many of their own opensource projects on Git and more specifically GitHub. Support from such massive companies and communities instantly made GitHub a household name amongst software engineers, and before you knew it, every company you could think of would move over to GitHub. In fact, 90% of the Fortune 100 uses GitHub to store some portion of their code base today. This video explains the rise and legacy of GitHub and how Microsoft came to control the world’s codebase.
