No, no, no, surely you don't get it: the Harris campaign didn't target affluent, suburban white women enough. With a 6-month extension, they could've surely carved out enough support to counter Trump's gains in literally every relevant demographic.
(A Harris source admits the campaign could have made her more available for podcasts if they had more time, saying, “If we had had a six-month runway instead of 107 days … does she do Martha Stewart’s podcast? Does she do something with Ina Garten?… There’s so much, so many things that you can do, but we just didn’t have time.”)
These people will never fucking learn. Martha Stewart and Ina Garten occupy a fraction of the podcast space, which has very quickly come to take up the same platform as late night TV did twenty years ago or radio did before that. Don't forget that Bill Clinton's media blitz making him look like a normal, likeable guy is attributed to his presidency.
I don't like Joe Rogan or listen to JRE but it's obvious that scorning the largest audience in the world is ridiculous. Bernie did it and the comments on YT are overwhelmingly supportive of him. To just write off that entire audience as a lost cause was campaign suicide, even before the whole "i would put a Republican in my cabinet, thank you Liz Cheney" stuff happened, especially as we keep seeing that this election was determined by poor, economically stunted and socially disaffected young men.
The payout for audio ads is a lot less than video advertising. It's just not as profitable to do an entirely ad-supported music streaming service as a video one
These reports now include gig jobs so yeah. I'd like to see how many of these are just people picking up a second (or third, or fourth) job to make ends meet
I don't believe that ADHD can be developed but at the same time TikTok is literally engineered to prey on the symptoms of it.
Sort of like how we didn't start noticing that some kids had attention disorders until we shoved them in a seat in a classroom for 9 hours a day, we didn't start noticing that a lot more kids had the same issues when we gave them a bright, shiny, feature-rich and constantly updating video app for them to use.
Netflix back in the day. A near-limitless catalog of ad-free movies and TV for $8/month. If you tried selling that today, people would think it was a scam
I'm not attracted to 99% of people either? I don't see what your point is. Maybe you think you're only into "ultra attractive" people because... you're attracted to them? I'd love to hear what your "type" is.
The game is great and all that, but god it is hard to fully remove all the junk it leaves behind on your system. You really need to check out that mod when the time comes to get rid of it.
Hey it's me, your brother. Sorry I couldn't make it to pop's birthday but you can just mail my piece(s) to me
