@cokiehasiotis Having children of your own children is simultaneously torturous and wonderful, but very gratifying over the long-term, even when the day-to-day is difficult. Chemically, it feels the same as being madly in love, with a bit less fear of humiliating rejection. I recommend it.

@bzises What about when people want to "meet for coffee" without any clue as to why?

@AriannaSimpson @a16zcrypto @kikiworld_ I love this idea, already want some of these products!

consumer VCs used to say that we'd never again see another tiktok-like mass spending spree ($1bn/year in acq spend in 2019) that would disrupt the incumbents' network effects, but i actually think memecoins change that. apps can acquire users at scale through memecoins

People are spending more time watching screens than ever before, yet the media industry is being decimated in plain sight. Just this past week the following happened:

S&P downgraded Paramount Global‘s debt rating to junk status citing “the ongoing deterioration of the linear television ecosystem."

AMC Entertainment, the largest movie theater chain in the world, said it might sell up to $250 million worth of stock “to bolster liquidity” after a dismal first-quarter box office result.

Disney is fending off an activist investor who is trying to "restore the magic."

The media industry is ripe for new models and monetization strategies--new forms of entertainment on a global scale. Web3 may not seem like an obvious answer, but one thing is certain: there are no obvious answers for the media industry. Maybe it's time for the slow-moving giants to start paying attention...
