[The Record @TheRecordApp]

Netflix-Warner merger:

We scored takes from @RBReich (90% True), @ChrisMurphyCT (45% True), @mattstoller (70% True) vs our tldr:

"While the highly concentrated Netflix-Warner Bros. merger wouldn't immediately create a monopoly, it presents a clear monopolistic threat, triggering immediate, intense scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers over its potential to control over a third of the streaming market. (92% True)

See deep dive in this week's newsletter

Interesting piece of speculation here on the WB/Netflix deal amidst a lot of backlash that this is going to be terrible for consumers. We Kyle's statement below at 78% True.

It's worth noting that media consolidation can reduce competition and give companies greater pricing power, often resulting in increased costs for consumers. However, evidence is not universally conclusive, as some argue that consolidation can lead to efficiencies that might stabilize or lower prices in certain contexts [90% True].

Introducing The Record - media you can trust.

Media is broken. Trust is at all time lows.

We’re solving this with AI and wisdom of the crowds.

@scharpling My vote would go to the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the configuration of Anthony Kiedies, Flea, John Frusciante, and Chad Smith, specifically. That group of four includes some of the best songwriters and musicians of all time period, and their music is steeped in Americana.

[Dana Nessel @dananessel]

I’ve spent so long despising this man, it nvr occurred to me to feel sorry for him. One of the luckiest men the world has ever known. While so many are suffering, he has everything, and yet can’t think of a single thing to be thankful for today. Must be an agonizing existence.

@Jason Retraining for in demand skills through digital apprenticeships

[gsm @GrahamStirlingM]

@balajis @AcadiumOfficial for job retraining!

[Erik Blachford @erikbl]

I think @chamath is doing something important here. For more, his podcast with @karaswisher recently was great too - https://t.co/fdqHQjPAYv

@fitz_body @abarrallen Totally understandable. We're working hard to improve this experience! A couple of things:
- Agreed on the confusing membership program. We now operate on a pay-per-use system.
- We're constantly trying to improve our matching system and would love some specific feedback!

[gsm @GrahamStirlingM]

@fitz_body @abarrallen @fitz_body We’re always making mistakes and learning, but I like to think that we keep the experience of our customers as our top priority. I’d love to hear a bit more about your experience on Acadium - could you spare 30 minutes for a phone call?

@abarrallen @abarrallen - @AcadiumOfficial is giving students free access to job training through remote apprenticeships. Business owners/operators take on an apprentice for three months to guide them through projects that provide experience for the student, and impact for the biz

Excited... @TomMisch

[Tom Misch @TomMisch]

This new project almost finished... never been more excited about sharing some music

[Netflix Canada @Netflix_CA]

I don’t know much about basketball but I do know that if you’re watching Netflix tonight instead of the Raptor’s historic game 1, then you’re letting down all of Toronto, all of Canada and all of Drake

1/ This article is fantastic. Touches on so many of the themes I've been thinking about over the last few years in ecommerce and physical retail. Rising CAC, stores as acquisition channels, feedback loop offline and online. Must read. https://t.co/Zq3hrN8x0o
