@tkawaja To make money, or to be of service to the community / society — as the primary goal?

[Dorian Benkoil @dbenk]

@brianstelter Hearing advertising (ad-tech media buyers and planners, for you in the industry) people talk about how much they’re devoting to YouTube gives me another window into how much prominence YT has right now.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

The biggest two movies in America right now, “Backrooms” and “Obsession,” come from twentysomething filmmakers who honed their craft on YouTube. Here's my write about what it means for Hollywood: https://t.co/YiBAgltQIw

@brianstelter How much political influence was there, here? Netflix withdrawing in order to avoid battling the Ellisons and their political allies?

@pkafka Bring on the 20-hour work week?

@BillieJeanKing … (almost rhymes with “born”)

Big news for the tennis world.

[Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole]

After careful consideration, I have decided to step away completely from the Professional Tennis Players Association. This decision comes after ongoing concerns regarding transparency, governance, and the way my voice and image have been represented.

@Lucas_Shaw Can we see how much of this passes through set-top boxes though, or at least through MSOs and their ilk? Isn’t that the cord-cutting distinction?

[Dorian Benkoil @dbenk]

@capcomhazard @pkafka Maybe this is about influence as much as anything. Don’t forget Saudis also helped Elon buy Twitter. It’s a win-win. Money for influence and sway.

[Dorian Benkoil @dbenk]

@pkafka In other words: Cash for Jared’s deal with “no strings.” Gee, makes one wonder what they could possibly be doing.

[Dorian Benkoil @dbenk]

@MichaelRStrain @andrewrsorkin Humble brag ;). And congrats.
