Welcome back! 🙂

In today’s episode, we dive into YouTube’s takeover of the TV screen. Is it the new broadcast TV? We discuss how the platform is shifting towards “seasons” and “episodes,” and if creators like Mr. Beast actually benefit from moving to traditional streaming services like Amazon Prime.

And finally, we wrap up with some browser talk, is Safari back?

Thanks for watching and listening! ❤️
