Appreciate you sharing this, @joannezchen

Those early years were… character building 😅. We got rejected by just about every major studio (and VC) before realizing we were solving the right problem with the wrong model.

The pivot to free, ad-supported streaming wasn’t obvious at the time, but the underlying belief never changed: streaming would become mass-market, and personalization would matter more than subscriptions.

You took a bet on that conviction when there was very little else to point to. That kind of alignment is rare and it made all the difference when things got tough.

Grateful you were in it with us from the beginning.

@howardlindzon @DanV_Barrons Cheers!

Watch Iranian star filmmaker Jafar Panahi with @jonstewart in one of the most moving conversations on the power of art and resistance, even from jail.

Panahi is promoting his Oscar-nominated film, "It Was Just an Accident".

@neonrated A painful reminder of life in Iran: quietly devastating and masterfully depicted by Panahi

[Farhad Massoudi @farhadm]

@howardlindzon Absolutely devastating scenes in Iran right now

Watch how the Iranian regime guns down its own citizens.
Now ask yourself what its “peaceful” nuclear program would mean for the rest of the world.

Thanks to @TheOnion for the laugh and the brief illusion that I’m cool.

@mikebid @Forbes @Tubi Well deserved 👏

[Farhad Massoudi @farhadm]

It’s official, @Tubi is profitable!

When you focus on building real value for viewers and creators, the results eventually speak for themselves.

Congrats, Tubi team. Very proud of you!

Fox Corp. said its @Tubi ad-supported streaming service became profitable in the September quarter, faster than previously anticipated https://t.co/6NtBE6AANQ via @variety

@RichLightShed @BrandoLightShed @WaltLightShed They should launch a "South Park Coin" to make that $1.5B deal pencil

$spark is the beginning of money burning

@mcuban @DavidSacks I see what you’re trying to do but this is the wrong solution.

One option is for the LLMs to label/disclose sponsored content, just like how web works today.

@RichLightShed Reminds me of this ad we made 5 years ago:
