3:17
we are get a let's microsoft microsoft
3:20

3:24
months are right that cloud services
3:27
getting getting services let's let's
3:29
microsoft have do earnings putting
3:31
months say is say do
3:34
is the cloud services office
3:36
an
3:37
that stuff is country and heavily to
3:39
the bottom line but i will surprise element
3:41
is time this is of the windows i'm in
3:44
he might call a surprise but the over
3:46
the past is the pc market has been
3:48
booming as it was in twenty twenty with a
3:50
pandemic so surprising not
3:52
surprising other depends on your stance
3:54
really but that was that i
3:56
think it was like something about twenty five percent up
3:58
on winners or am revenue is
4:00
quite item for
4:03
, as an obsession or is it before
4:05
the pandemic of also been
4:07
in the news you predicted the service would be dumbed
4:09
down in some figures single digits
4:11
root of revenue service that service didn't happen
4:13
soon such a up so that was
4:15
kind of surprising was well so maybe they found
4:18
some chips they has to be it's has ship more
4:20
than they're expecting did people just love the
4:22
plinth specific come to see
4:24
as i'm for the
4:25
eight years of went from hey
4:27
the apart from some people
4:29
bought it and it and raise the as payment
4:32
this can a who is she frogs officer
4:34
for windows devices which is and comes
4:37
to service he had a blog post above
4:39
us as he acts like it's a corporate blog
4:41
post is very polite he conceded the genesis
4:44
of it was like i had had way people
4:46
keep buying pcs sense
4:48
of is like wrote down all of his thoughts to
4:50
that's unusual known as expecting this obviously
4:52
an hour and i make in
4:54
fear i think a lot of people expected it
4:56
a snap back right ever and but the pcs
4:59
early to work from home button i just kept
5:01
buying more pcs
5:03
that hasn't seemed to start the and
5:05
i think he's purposes of say isis is
5:07
a bunch of lies that's a nice
5:11
house is kind of interesting
5:13
because it it does so that people using
5:16
pcs more than they were before and in
5:18
different ways by , unofficial
5:21
i pick up my phone less now i'm just stuck indoors
5:23
like a don't at that time
5:25
when i'm traveling to an office as as
5:27
much anymore so not not to pull
5:30
cause my final moreno during these
5:32
sort of i wash my wash of
5:34
it's so easy way or it's true with
5:36
some stats they've backed up with the
5:39
other is like the hobo places like
5:42
for the always that's an interesting
5:44
thing is about the used to see that just
5:46
a series of the doesn't really mean anything really
5:48
reduce heat and there is no was based
5:50
on the worst by the way as when i'm working
5:53
at twitter and my laptop and then and pick
5:55
up my phone and then i opened twitter in mississippi
5:57
assess opened don't know what i've accomplished he
6:00
decides to the notifications well as
6:02
make sure i'm mister as i tell her
6:04
what he called up three trends i it's a it's
6:06
a three trends the blog posts i think art interesting
6:09
because the would have called them at the beginning
6:11
of endemic but
6:12
it's interesting hear microsoft say they real the
6:15
rise in hybrid work and learning shifts
6:17
and entertainment habits and distribution models which is
6:19
just dreaming and changing
6:22
consumer habits for everyday tasks which
6:25
there's a little fuzzy or but i think it means
6:27
tom's at home and picking up his phone was
6:29
pretty much yeah i'm pretty sure that's what
6:32
that means riot yeah so you
6:34
would have predicted that at the beginning of a pandemic
6:36
is the sort of like ongoing
6:39
increase in pieces sales surprising to you
6:41
yes and no like i think the still down
6:44
ongoing reality for lot of businesses
6:46
especially like that that would probably
6:48
things in law ship for mccrone arrived
6:50
in a with forty going to go back into the office
6:53
and now they're like zealous
6:55
, years ago ago sit a specific
6:58
a slight the auto like to it's a
7:00
boy is that staggered you know like businesses
7:02
thinking our with probably about snowmen in
7:04
the reality thing that this
7:09
affair and who knows what's
7:11
gonna happen by skirts and gonna think that
7:13
rarely saying you deign boobs hanging
7:15
last year and the static and here again
7:18
this year so again think own be
7:20
surprised if sales tip off be little
7:22
bit shaky discusses the wind islam
7:24
refreshed stuff in alpha think of
7:27
anyone who's needed the pcs probably boom
7:29
by now
7:30
the only spent between twenty and twenty twenty
7:32
one twenty three to be a bit
7:34
different pass out pass i'm not that
7:37
surprised that twenty three
7:41
there's more driven by the companies
7:44
and not as much by like people
7:46
at home he irving is is a mixture of
7:48
nixes use ago or people think of
7:50
the beginning the pen name is the reality is that like
7:53
schools have seen don't have these devices
7:55
from macbook four assists
7:57
the israeli of like people have to scramble and get
8:00
around here i'm
8:07
amazon the remote work and
8:09
in than the real course reallys
8:11
this businesses are looking oh
8:14
what you know is the reason desktops a lot of
8:16
people using laptops they have been over
8:18
the past decade but some shops
8:20
is doing it by stops
8:22
them to shut those to allow
8:24
employees or three kept going to
8:28
, make i think that creates
8:31
a new sort of like cyclists
8:33
buying from his son
8:35
and they are they main consumers many
8:38
have a seat right now they have a choice
8:40
like any so brace and pcs really
8:42
putting it up that's pretty much what's
8:45
been happening he looks interesting monitor
8:47
the great piece about how artists
8:49
like to know but market is totally reshuffled
8:52
the garb old categories enterprise
8:54
laptops or consumer last what we could all just they're
8:57
all the store on this one thing now
8:59
gaming pcs are going to have webcam six everyone will
9:01
ever wants the a bunch of stuff on the same
9:03
diverse renaissance in what strikes
9:05
me is the most interesting pcs
9:07
are at a higher now frail
9:10
if there's a lot of really nice premium he sees
9:13
for your tie your house surface
9:14
was surprisingly up the whole point
9:17
of the surface line was
9:19
to like drives the high end of the market
9:21
improve that they could compete with apple at above
9:23
a thousand dollars and now not
9:25
sure they need to like that ceases
9:27
isn't the point any more the
9:30
is maybe why they are only forecasting down but
9:32
they're still selling a lot it's like what's the next
9:34
plan for surface
9:36
there's the market is sorted out that there's
9:38
a lot of action above a thousand dollars
9:41
now the and us or against in question
9:43
and is this is how to answer
9:45
it because they experimented
9:47
with surface and some stuff hasn't worked
9:50
out say lights in an pointing to the jurors
9:52
something that hasn't really worked so far maybe
9:55
the federation might work but not just
9:57
got hundred eleven it took is recommended
10:00
go away and have a t is for android twelve the
10:03
next time such an hour performative really pulls
10:05
out a duo in the corner over him what she
10:07
loves doing italy run italy hundred eleven
10:11
or twelve maybe hopefully and
10:13
, mississippi studio right that was a cool
10:16
thought experiments really and and
10:18
that was very you know during of the apple basic
10:20
creators and stuff and
10:22
i don't think that's don't think really shells
10:25
by the and think he ever in the city will space
10:27
the bus that they cause can let the surface
10:29
laptop and the surface pro that to the alerts
10:31
and whatever
10:37
like to they carry on just its
10:39
reign on those lights like a magnet
10:41
for could all do they joined do something
10:43
new like the surface laptop
10:46
student and student and code hear the
10:48
plinth is like the
10:50
wasn't there
10:52
three maps up for a while as i can swear
10:54
they announced ones
10:55
i can see what i wrote about one know the neo the
10:57
dmv home and it went away then they killed at the
10:59
endless cancelled basically yeah
11:01
like that , stuff is tiffany
11:04
so prevent i may cry like can havens
11:06
on the movies and moves super busy and
11:09
how can we work was on
11:11
a lot of the lessons of the like
11:13
that's just out the window now says the
11:16
may be says diverse like that might come back eventually
11:18
looks like and the big question for
11:20
them i guess like what would it would is that like
11:23
this is one thing so the initial thesis
11:25
was don't make garbage were
11:27
gonna make not garbage and you'll see the
11:29
people like a race and i did it likes
11:32
i mean yes if you put yourself back
11:35
then they were like don't use garbage
11:37
sixteen by nine screens the
11:39
surface laptops will have a nice for
11:42
by three screens like they
11:44
, it was suspicion a barrel improvements
11:46
were to compete with apple behind
11:48
the market market did that then they wrote
11:51
in the form factors right there
11:53
like this one as it expands on flips over
11:55
this want the studio looks beautiful but what is it
11:57
didn't have is it that was any good bye to be were in
11:59
it you know it now they're finally
12:02
the whole market is to remain then
12:04
i'd i think my quite as maybe
12:06
the next thesis was dual screens right
12:09
right like microsoft's idea was
12:11
we will push the market we'll take the risk
12:13
but nobody wants do dual there just there doesn't
12:16
seem to be one of those anymore i think that
12:18
that next experimentation phase will party
12:20
be
12:21
they they priscilla about repair ability
12:23
saliva modularity perhaps that
12:26
, sauce but also like experimentation
12:29
like to say that nigger means doing on
12:31
stuff so potentially with potentially am
12:33
day as less room is my last time
12:35
warner i'll try
12:42
i'm a couple of those silly want to show like
12:44
it good arm product is is the next
12:47
experiment
12:47
that would be a good idea of a status
12:50
may be something that doesn't have a cool concept
12:52
in the ass a spy was
12:54
your service a christian i'm on from qualcomm was
12:57
unaccounted he is like next year
12:59
the good arm said his comments such a budding
13:02
as i have heard that fled tennis some
13:04
he makes a good arm set for sentenced him at
13:06
once and repent prince
13:09
tests on
13:13
laptops se
13:15
i think that after meeting steam market for
13:17
them so they can preserve variants to go that way as
13:19
well have seen a toy impish
13:21
applesauce the what about the bus
13:24
gaming like think they they just
13:26
fire like they've gone bill
13:28
hardcore into gaming they were all
13:30
we are going to having that like this
13:32
is this one is one thing that stephanie missing yes
13:35
yes totally missing from atlanta plays a
13:37
kind of experiment of gps
13:39
on the on the lots of cyber never really gone but like
13:41
terribly
13:43
like all the gps of a horribly underpowered
13:45
and like a
13:47
they've been old models a exactly
13:49
so maybe that but that's that's definitely a hole
13:52
they need to fill but isn't microsoft's
13:54
gaming if you want a buy a windows pc for microsoft
13:56
that runs games really buy an xbox
13:58
right like an trying to text cloud
14:01
or whatever it's called now
14:02
yeah loaded up member get some
14:04
halo we just got a gaming sites the window
14:07
side i you know one thing which i'm an arm
14:09
windows or ravenous must be getting and the android
14:11
apps support next month yeah it
14:13
feels a little that it was an hour so huge
14:16
them in at you know where kind
14:18
of in that that middle period where it's like hobo
14:21
we've we've runs a like
14:23
have you heard any developments they're is going better
14:26
than we anticipated said
14:28
like think the developments
14:30
andreas so windows is like the
14:32
need them think that's the that's big question
14:35
and and and how they implement a and
14:37
all that's stuff kind of is a secondary thing
14:40
really i think it
14:42
runs pretty well if got the hardware
14:44
the hardware to windows
14:46
ten a eleven so a officially supported
14:49
vice where and all that so stuff but google
14:51
google heard their own thing where
14:53
their trying to bring games to it so and
14:55
it they've at least they've actually focused on specific
14:58
one
15:01
on , honor i think there's
15:04
much space as the economy
15:06
sense for us marshal stuff with amazon
15:08
is amazon bit the know the still
15:10
feels a bit like who needs
15:13
this and was was the case
15:15
or if it's if it's focus square
15:17
new games like area and make cents
15:19
per animal for say
15:22
if you preserve i'm preserve i'm i'm not convinced
15:24
they will take it or ferguson games
15:26
because they can the you in app purchases
15:29
and games are widows
15:31
and no one can get mad at them because you could also
15:33
just ship your game on windows your
15:36
place , competitive and then but
15:38
it's so easy to we'll see we'll see if
15:40
any that works out for google but certainly
15:42
the idea that you'll play casual games and your pc
15:45
they'll get the game revenue to begin
15:47
on android without the regulatory
15:50
troubles that all the mobile platforms
15:52
are getting into
15:53
very clever it's like maybe one
15:56
step away from my galaxy brain thinking but it is
15:58
very clever that is
16:00
and they have competition their of the
16:02
police taxes of bill
16:04
our platform the the ships on m
16:06
devices and stuff but ,
16:08
know they've the google play advantage haven't
16:10
they say they they
16:12
they can how are you want to use
16:14
it though how did we were firing
16:17
up the android he amazon the
16:19
blue sucks numbers by think they have
16:21
like a relatively healthy business
16:23
the salsa as or than i am and they've actually
16:25
taking like than model of
16:28
the her having these apps running on windows
16:30
as it's taken for cloud sister as
16:36
stinks name android apps in a browser
16:38
and then slave wages the fallout
16:41
shelter he does is in forever she said
16:43
i i i'm and business have ways
16:46
stack but think like they
16:48
, a healthy business official so
16:51
think like a small amount i do have there's three
16:53
competing ways to get and write apps
16:55
onto windows pc and you have started
16:57
with but why would anyone want this and
17:01
like , and know but if know do infinite
17:04
, to do a well
17:06
see i'm very excited for
17:08
like microsoft and amazon
17:10
to provide some sort have like apps distribution competition
17:13
to google
17:14
we just haven't seen it he i think we've
17:16
not seen there are any platform and so on
17:19
them searchers here goes even i'd suspect
17:22
having you used amazon's appstore deal
17:25
that nothing that you got she want
17:27
will be the you
17:30
, six year old version of the sonos player and
17:32
amazon's here for you okay we got to talk about
17:34
activision with you weren't around last week when steel
17:37
went down microsoft said
17:39
it's going to buy activision that deal it's already facing
17:41
microsoft curtin you massive deal
17:44
the going the box going the it
17:47
guess it's now microsoft gaming they did
17:49
really well this this quarter it seems like they're poised
17:51
keep growing yeah like have think
17:53
they um they're have in like record
17:55
calls and they they growing
17:58
um um seating i think even with this did
18:02
no be imposed upon henson and
18:04
the and seventy two thousand
18:06
amelie no thank them
18:09
into so monopoly position however
18:13
like and and the deal is super
18:16
seen in the terms of the way that my some
18:18
sort of like structure their and announced that
18:20
they like to take his twelve to eighteen
18:22
months or she's comments an unusually and
18:24
time i
18:26
wonder if like paul the is on say they're expecting
18:29
mark how i
18:35
don't i feel like they've listened citizen
18:37
cushions like activision
18:39
to clean up i feel like there isn't
18:42
a part of this as well like at every day when a
18:44
free take activision on
18:46
until some of those first company's
18:49
, culture rectified cdc
18:52
they've been doing that over the past six months
18:54
and months the reason why we heard
18:56
about some of his firings a day before myself
18:59
now this exhibition is so
19:03
sweet that under the rug scare like
19:05
say surfing as part of that but i intend
19:08
to the deal with them
19:10
consolidation in a in an industry
19:12
days just from the pandemic
19:14
sort things just been booming helmet like dreaming
19:17
this is exploding or a woot different directions
19:20
is sabrina stains the dots handheld
19:22
scary now to cloud gaming
19:24
on her eyes and this is big battle and
19:27
think marshals in there during
19:29
passed on a can i they want exclusive
19:31
content and yes
19:36
about your attention than just how
19:38
much she can keep up person on that subscription
19:41
and painter ongoing revenue sir activision
19:44
blizzard cool to ignore makes
19:47
it will make sense that says that lot of money
19:49
it feels like sony is like path to
19:51
exclusives and it's i'm really well like historically
19:53
it's had the better exclusive halo
19:56
that it didn't look at the voice
19:58
until it make deals
20:00
studios occasionally buy studios but make
20:02
deals with studios and microsoft is like no no
20:04
we just buy the studios no
20:06
that you don't like amicus like buying
20:08
their way to exclusivity
20:09
the i mean they they just need the content or
20:11
yeah like they have a lot of aging
20:14
eyepiece really yeah like
20:16
something on sea foods in her earn them
20:18
halo good school he
20:21
can you turn out so many of those games before
20:23
like
20:23
the needed it involves energy drink
20:26
and , like it took a
20:28
shell necklaces to play a lot of these
20:30
fantasizes and yeah
20:33
it's really
20:36
i mean this is their the anti trust
20:38
versatile me horrible way to
20:40
get the exclusive
20:42
so microsoft said they're going
20:44
to do next three call of duties playstation
20:46
which they're are so many call of duties and infinite
20:49
variations within any one call of
20:51
duty that liked not entirely
20:53
sure that promise means but when microsoft
20:56
was announced deal deal spencer
20:58
said spencer said keep call duty on playstation and
21:00
they intend to honour existing agreements and
21:02
and bloomberg had reported
21:04
that activision already signed deal
21:07
those three games so it's like
21:10
really unclear what sony what
21:12
microsoft does at the next does
21:14
it's hard like after we've been talking lot
21:16
about anti trust last few weeks feels like and
21:19
all these investigations into face smoking stuff and everybody
21:21
does we're when they're going to buy a bunch
21:23
of other companies like yeah don't worry we're we're going to
21:25
to per good about it it's like this no
21:29
, to stop you besides like
21:31
irate guys on twitter twitter
21:34
making the next college duty after your
21:36
contractually obligated make them for sony just
21:38
making it microsoft exclusive it's
21:40
like gotta you gotta give us more than just
21:43
you're you're you're good
21:45
handshake phil , yeah
21:47
nothing i think the law that will have the see for
21:50
your eighteen months and so this will close as has come
21:52
a long time to remarry any cigarettes a day
21:55
but little the moon's thing cause they
21:57
thing cause this marks of gaming division
21:59
and else
22:00
with leo that the not just the in a
22:02
after the special title of michael
22:04
to be a see i have a separate business
22:07
for silks azizi they acquire stuff in
22:09
an innkeeper see a place to run their businesses
22:11
issue to the intent of or that what a day
22:14
for i'm announcing that
22:16
can mean bob is gone and
22:18
it is some confusion around that than
22:20
, way they they you call it
22:22
oh yeah he's gone like eve of one hundred percent
22:25
they're like speak read it in
22:27
the way that he eats at the mouth so employees
22:30
that most of connoisseur and at least
22:33
this and at exit right was at a maximum
22:35
of money and not for a flagrant
22:38
cultural issues i would take
22:40
that exit east germans dislike
22:42
and i do it for if he's had
22:44
see coaches the company even northern
22:47
parts participated in size
22:49
, us us capitalism must
22:53
so syria week that that like tom what you said
22:55
the seals a long way out a lot of things
22:57
that happened between here and now including
22:59
the deal getting blocked saucy
23:02
but it seems like
23:04
they went to dallas it over he was
23:06
all in on my soft as a cloud
23:08
services company with survival
23:10
, are in a deemphasize windows
23:13
i don't really know israel's games with seems
23:15
important important we've just come all
23:17
the way to gosh for sign
23:19
lot of he sees and we're going to be the third
23:21
biggest gaming company gaming the world and that doesn't
23:24
feel a little full circle to you when officers
23:26
cloud like as was doing amazing but it's just
23:28
the emphasis wise for
23:30
kind of attaboy we saw attaboy lot of windows licenses
23:34
and his ex boxing his going gangbusters
23:36
yes is wild that that
23:39
then again be the third these gaming
23:41
company and i will these franchises
23:43
on the they control slater and
23:46
if you'd asked me that a couple years ago before
23:49
that they've been the position of by answer isn't
23:51
at all of his the like both
23:53
of those of us if we we focused
23:55
on the , his
23:58
name his the more i mean
24:00
they still have a lot of cash on hand say they
24:02
could still be done some i don't see
24:04
this see this at sony spicer by
24:06
nintendo give us like proper
24:08
clothes the or it's
24:11
whatever else he brought up clogging like
24:13
it's interesting that almost none of the
24:15
activision deal points they
24:17
brought up the metaverse more than they brought
24:20
up
24:21
crowd like cloud gaming like it's
24:23
crazy to write that's actually the it very
24:26
clear future
24:27
the gonna do the exports up on smart tv
24:30
is like it's it's all coming
24:32
do think they'd ever put an x box ap on the playstation
24:35
because that's how you get called duty on a playstation this
24:37
is the main thing that that
24:39
because obviously netflix is on all these
24:41
consoles and and if you want parallel
24:44
that we experts game because
24:46
which on stream we we do a lot so
24:48
you is naturally want your service
24:50
to be on playstation rights stream
24:53
on with is that this exports game person
24:55
in his exploits cloud gaming the to on a separate
24:58
things ex was dane paws allows you
25:00
to download games and plan which is why
25:02
a lot of people like it is not currently
25:05
and us that they didn't like it because they can
25:07
get expelled him and strange james like
25:10
let's do something is very nation
25:12
i think a lot of gamers on politically impressed
25:14
with the latency and and
25:17
feel
25:17
it's weird because of what games are on
25:19
it i see this mainly because i really wanted to play
25:21
age of empires when i went to texas
25:24
scientists thought that i could not as a while i can
25:26
play all the halo i was i just
25:28
wanna play
25:29
the age of empires badly he added
25:31
the still like figuring out the thought pcs
25:33
heard of like streaming games or
25:36
think they'll come the soon and next yet
25:38
like this do this to
25:41
great demand for streaming yet but whereas
25:43
to get experts game pass or
25:45
whatever you want call it onto playstation
25:48
you're , going do from streaming don't going get those
25:50
native experts games on playstation
25:53
to have to rewrite them or port them them
25:55
just this just not going happen so but
25:58
i do believe that excellent
26:03
some point like a see that that another
26:05
line enter sand that's another big it's
26:08
, big there's no way
26:10
sony lets that happen are you not
26:12
well like don't forget that sony
26:14
and microsoft want and microsoft together
26:16
more than they want amazon google
26:19
whoever else to enter the market and
26:21
take slice of a money that they
26:23
make i have a horrible question
26:26
i collusion that's what your you're it's collusion
26:29
mean you want to keep the top top to as
26:31
want keep the top two and we've seen
26:33
it's the xbox hard
26:35
where gaming to one day be like the surface
26:38
of gaming consoles where it's like this is
26:40
microsoft big fancy microsoft's
26:43
idea of what should look
26:45
like and also sony and
26:47
and , i guess i don't however
26:50
you feel about the steam deck and and nintendo
26:52
make their other access
26:54
points to giant cloud gaming empire
26:57
like is that an in game
26:59
i mean is entirely feasible
27:01
of i could be the feature here for show like
27:04
the way things are going and then the investment
27:06
in russian herbicides
27:09
a those mean they the decade we
27:11
be a the , that
27:13
there's an expos up on the playstation
27:16
store is not that crazy in ontario
27:18
does seem crazy one that yeah but
27:21
illusion of a sudden have no
27:23
basis of eight they had eight they partnership
27:25
between most of them sony to code develop
27:28
streaming solutions for gaming and it's
27:30
time and services when i know exactly
27:33
what that means like was shaping up
27:35
the person is sued the i
27:38
like of on the backend of us as
27:41
, definite spawn shiver of
27:43
the exposed by stations took me and originally
27:46
been like i don't i like i
27:48
own be surprised if if if sony
27:51
does enter into the in a christmas
27:53
more serious about by such now they
27:56
have an applet sports and as well as an up wyoming
27:58
is man a
28:00
it wouldn't they wouldn't surprise me but i
28:02
don't know about i disliked the amount
28:04
of revenue sharing the latter agree
28:06
to yeah deficit eric as if you're
28:08
watching tv on your playstation
28:11
like it was her so using your playstation yeah
28:14
and as a chance are going to light up a game and play game
28:16
they make sony makes a lot of tv shows as
28:18
chancers washing a sony tv set likes
28:20
it also works and a a famous largely
28:23
true for microsoft maybe you're just
28:25
watching msnbc an you're xbox
28:28
and bill gates's dream that
28:30
m is still and msnbc it's very funny
28:32
to me
28:33
levitt booster noted that mister right
28:35
i think once you get to
28:37
we've turned your ps five into a dumb terminal
28:40
for xbox game pass someone's
28:43
gonna be like hey did you run the spiny one
28:46
did you just to see oh
28:48
no letters decision space we truly believe
28:50
that cloud gaming is the seater
28:53
then
28:53
and like we like probably
28:56
most of of subscribe to netflix and disney
28:58
right and probably not much else so
29:01
many other night a supply of the playstation
29:03
and exports in the future the maybe nintendo
29:05
fair enough
29:07
like like it's , it's
29:09
not out the realm for it to a
29:11
to to happen collusion let's
29:13
like about sampson quickly then take break take
29:16
out sampson seems like it had like it
29:18
quarter
29:19
they were in the doldrums last year
29:21
and they've found saddam or back
29:23
yeah yeah they they they actually
29:25
they sold it seem to be there are mainly driven by like
29:28
tv sales his school
29:30
like to buy cds and and surprisingly
29:32
phones i mean surprisingly for me i guess
29:35
especially being here we've talked a lot about
29:37
everybody likes to buy laptops and i keep
29:39
thinking okay well that means not buying phones and
29:41
now samsung is people are buying phones
29:43
they sell like twenty four percent
29:45
twenty four percent year over year
29:47
grow so like
29:49
and regrettable it's twenty four percent year
29:51
over year revenue growth total
29:53
right in that is attributed to sons
29:55
and tvs and appliances
29:56
mm may offer saw a big
29:58
drives in semi can so
30:01
despite there being like nobody actually
30:03
able to make them
30:04
the ship them to people to put under phone
30:07
a sin and other devices say they did a
30:09
really good job like any with city
30:11
two percent year on year
30:13
for profit growth in growth in that
30:15
business so this really
30:18
really huge wonderful time
30:21
for them to go in announce a brand new phone
30:23
that may or may not have some samsung shapes in
30:25
it in a couple it a couple
30:27
i will have an ongoing argument with
30:29
thomas rica thought
30:31
that he he predicted the some
30:33
song would be like that that some point
30:35
in the next five the
30:38
family that runs trying but
30:42
it's too big to fail yeah
30:44
again after that they they got so many different
30:47
diseases salvage
30:49
ship thing is like interests a interests surveyed
30:52
they could not produce since i'm a lot of
30:54
ram the make a flash storage they were
30:56
not able to produce as much as people wanted
30:58
but it might make selected ships shortages all
31:01
on the demand side for you got it
31:03
shipped right now some of the fbi he just
31:05
leave your area he teases walking down
31:07
the streets i add said see like someone online
31:09
sales price and vivek desperate for
31:11
them so that as he makes sense
31:13
we just didn't see the samson
31:16
was not able to deliver phones last yeah
31:18
they just weren't able to do it it was like hard to
31:20
buy a samsung phone and we
31:23
saw apple decide screwball that up
31:25
yeah right like the carriers are in the midst
31:27
of this endless
31:30
do five g tweeting fighting
31:33
, a plans like what a a
31:35
and see g prefer he do with
31:37
do a g see was
31:39
amos work was tweeting about a he
31:42
was doing a five g speed test like i prefer
31:44
my plans prefer work like
31:47
, and a a
31:51
like a you a see like to prefer
31:53
was to about see i was five g fighting
31:55
see was amos and
31:58
, you
32:00
lot home so just buying a ton of tvs
32:02
and appliances and samsung like
32:04
makes a lot refrigerators and
32:06
, i think they've just kind like gotten back on track
32:09
track question is whether the twenty to twenty and
32:12
how they're going to talk about it in a way mean
32:15
february ninth is confirmed what
32:17
if confirmed a galaxy unpacked event
32:20
it and everything , is with
32:22
so i know other than the other on a website next
32:24
week by mistake mistake
32:26
a regular mail us all one before but
32:29
it's going to have it's going
32:31
you know how to six point one inch display
32:33
is it it just seems like an iterative
32:35
upgrade and adding styles
32:37
the questions like is i can be enough to notice that
32:40
is you never fingerprint reader in the screen
32:42
their gas for that is
32:44
one of the leaks right ultrasonic
32:46
fingerprint reader
32:47
the school is it works so i have
32:50
a slow fingerprint reader
32:51
i think of first one of those was like and twenty
32:53
six teams so took us seven
32:56
years to get to like and
32:58
in screen reader that on a flagship
33:01
device that people would actually
33:03
by the united states
33:04
in agreement that the i friends during
33:06
that way potentially be i phone
33:09
or rumors nasa it's segue censor
33:11
conversation apple the ah so nervous or an hour
33:13
out of control in terms of like
33:15
it'll have a dog and a dash and little
33:17
have it is it's like all of this makes sense
33:19
the couple you at niacin make you feel better when
33:21
you wake up every internet as like it's just magic
33:24
but the point samson is
33:27
it seems like they were able to deliver
33:29
phones which was very challenging them
33:31
for them a year ago but i
33:33
i believe all that phone demand is
33:36
carriers given phones away
33:39
the they can turn off their three g
33:41
and forty networks it
33:43
was there no position to do right now maybe
33:45
they're going to turn after you networks there's a lot alike
33:48
or yossi melman spent on a suffering they've
33:51
got to upgrade the phones they can like reform
33:53
the spectrum so yeah i
33:55
think the phone companies like yeah here's
33:57
some phone system five seasons is
34:00
for i i samson are but i
34:02
just don't i think big question for samson
34:04
how are they going to differentiate this phone the
34:07
from the as twenty one everything
34:09
else in the market right now and then in particular
34:12
from the as twenty one his car sales
34:14
times and like importantly
34:17
because apple his ship so many phones miss market
34:20
so for my friends because they were able to deliver these
34:22
fancy upgrades the
34:25
that's a lot of people who just want an expensive
34:27
son though atheism
34:30
a challenging time for them with estimated then
34:33
of course there's like the green bubble discourse happening
34:35
everywhere
34:35
i the think like the guys counting the
34:37
numbers counting the beans over there at samsung
34:40
are really excited that
34:42
they just announced think hud the
34:44
tv because that i can be selling
34:47
lot of phones this cooper this quarter that's is
34:49
sold at the tv this said that for them
34:51
the a tv stuff and see us was was
34:53
pretty cool that's funny jokes with him
34:55
weighing a few years them through the i
34:58
really really
34:59
he went i'm personally when i like drive out to jersey
35:01
and just being on the door at their little tv testing
35:03
lab the billingsley let me emphasise
35:06
that they want to be like please ctv
35:09
that's a classic little kid move like
35:11
messier tv ssssss of as
35:13
a soviet february ninth is it
35:16
on that we're all searing it's yes way to
35:18
the team is are going to be what this summer
35:21
that's usually when the tv come out
35:22
yeah yeah yeah they they they won't say will not
35:25
actually affect this quarter they'll they'll come out
35:27
the summer slowly but surely
35:30
you'll only see reviews of the giant ones
35:32
but once again samsung is is
35:34
not mobile a congress reviews
35:37
announcement my more congress is still going
35:39
ahead of her it's it's episode
35:42
we , know what like what can the be there or
35:44
who gender of item over a congress's
35:46
like way back in the day tom when
35:49
mike
35:50
microsoft would announce entirely new operating
35:52
system and then twenty minutes later like a
35:55
, sony ericsson would announce five hundred
35:58
phones days are
36:00
like now is definitely carrier
36:02
executives just doing carrier stuff yeah
36:04
a a we'll see a
36:07
a a unpacked we are sort
36:09
of expecting a new galaxy tab
36:11
s a which i only bring up a because
36:13
google has a new head of android tablets
36:15
rich miner who's like and old school google executive
36:18
and he's he's back to run a tab
36:20
he can make it happen this time that is that
36:22
the tablet with the not
36:25
yeah ah the essays
36:27
yeah the other
36:28
the other readers i see the not is so tiny
36:30
as to have we going where is the nos
36:33
the it
36:34
notch the samsung spent spent millions
36:37
of marketing dollars on
36:39
in apple the head front think
36:42
, sort the future i just think it's interesting okay we
36:45
are hearing about samson sort of like been the
36:47
only player and android tablets for ones ones
36:49
a apart from a very very cheap very did
36:52
see it tik tok of the guy who bought all of the hundred
36:54
dollar tablets in a walmart to try nicklin
36:56
with try
36:58
, long video like built this whole thing and
37:01
then like the next video was like
37:03
that coffee so much money and i made five so
37:07
what , you think was going to fast as as as
37:10
as a gp shortage man with a bomb
37:13
is urgent seems like running his like
37:15
tablet form of hundreds tablet us efforts to
37:17
them so there's obviously a market
37:19
there but sampson has pretty much been alone at
37:21
the high end if
37:23
they put it another one to smart
37:26
it that google is going to bring in a like
37:28
a powerful executive to do it
37:30
somewhat fascinating to me just basically
37:33
everything we satirist laptops and changing
37:35
consumption in the home an alt like the
37:37
fight for chrome books like they just ignored
37:40
their tablet plans or
37:43
even know where that slots in philly
37:44
ignore it they were like words gonna be chrome
37:47
but no never mind never mind never by the door that
37:49
ignore that late may definitely
37:51
they would say something about tablets into except
37:53
for maybe last year the year before
37:55
that that they did the terrible tablet the pixel
37:58
oh yeah and me to go the guy
38:00
yeah every , since
38:03
they they keep flirting with it and trying to make
38:06
his income
38:07
the west of the iconic protests are getting us
38:09
but think you try to make incremental less
38:11
work together and now maybe
38:14
they will not and just respect
38:16
their do
38:17
and market it was pixel
38:19
slate and it was very bad and peter hated
38:21
that's why slate and then google was
38:23
good and make pixel tablet and a the
38:25
cancelled it
38:26
everybody hated it i think i was the only person
38:28
who liked it and that was because mine
38:31
was one of the few that where the pair
38:33
of i get kind of actually worked and
38:36
it just played a lot of fall out shelter on air
38:38
i remember when you're hire you as like these acts
38:40
as see my sense of my real
38:44
, flag only motive
38:46
what did i do i did a different thing
38:48
that everyone else are they doing this
38:52
hey everything folks go up and
38:55
, not an hour jeter who who
38:57

39:21
there's a lot going on with his entire announcer

39:54
and grows said i was upset driving and
39:56
then i then i i get back to new york and
39:59
pop over my computer
40:00
or and i'm like wow i just felt like slapped
40:02
in the face this is karma for
40:04
this bad joke because intel
40:06
is planning to spend twenty billion
40:08
dollars on this huge fab
40:10
in ohio as their largest fab and decades
40:14
it
40:14
the there they they kept calling it the silicone
40:17
heartland is being built
40:19
in ohio an announcement of someone from
40:21
the silicon prairies up to now just
40:24
don't put silly caught in front of say to sit always
40:26
sell for someone from the wisconsin valley
40:29
and the sunstone don't brands are

think do like the
40:34
you know they're they're they're planning to they're
40:36
going to vest twenty billion dollars they're they're
40:39
going to be investing in the university's their
40:41
detritus create a whole new talent
40:43
pool the idea is that it's gonna all
40:45
kick off in around twenty twenty five
40:48
and they'll be building actually terrifically
40:50
, named intel
40:53
eighteen a a
40:55
ships their which is technically
40:57
gonna be like a to nana meter chip even
40:59
though it's called and eighteen a don't get me get
41:03
they're gonna they're gonna build up there as and the idea
41:05
is billed as whole new like
41:08
center for took me infection
41:10
general to sister actually been and like
41:12
arizona
41:14
yeah it's it's masses obviously
41:17
ohio put in some tax subsidies
41:20
they do not offer the biggest package of living is
41:22
interesting they are differing
41:24
some employment taxes a one town
41:26
had an ex land from another town which
41:28
says you're into a while local politics
41:31
is very spicy but they did it was
41:33
really interesting to emphasise to emphasise and after their beliefs
41:36
of smirk i'm happy making this investment i believe
41:38
in tell when it says it's going to manufacture
41:40
tips
41:41
the way that fox on saying it was going to manufacture
41:44
lcd tvs and america
41:46
and or know i'll see somebody somewhere
41:48
in america or give a sudden see it's
41:51
there's a reality to this and i'm like
41:53
the person vaporware back but
41:55
there's a reality than us and i can see israel
41:58
but it's if you just look it wait
42:00
are talking about it the way to
42:02
the politicians are talking about it there's
42:04
massive disconnected from reality rather
42:07
like we need to salvage ship shortage
42:10
the automakers and suppliers in
42:12
around ohio will use
42:14
tips the a my trying
42:17
to this whole rundown he's like why
42:19
he fucking yeah mine anytime soon to trips
42:22
up to chip shortage twenty twenty five
42:24
intel doesn't make any chips from car
42:28
and , would they make what their most cutting
42:30
edge tips for college that's
42:32
definitely not gonna happen
42:34
kind of make it in his pc qaeda
42:36
theorizes why they're
42:38
all suggest like why they're why they're
42:40
all this huge for basic language and it's that's
42:43
with guidance as illustrated push through a bill
42:45
right now that will get more
42:47
chipman thing and so this is kinda like
42:49
the taste the keys and say hey look
42:51
look ohio give him a little money
42:53
and and now they're gonna change the world
42:56
think of how much world changing had happened
42:58
if you give him a lot of money
43:00
and you soviet era to ship by good as
43:02
silverado was heated seats he
43:04
needed to an animator said well what are we talking
43:06
about like that's the problem with the
43:08
car industry like their old process
43:10
nodes do not have an example
43:13
the i've i've talked to the ,
43:15
of course he has now they're very clear what
43:17
the problem is it's been
43:20
a else is going to be over by like the middle
43:22
of the summer maybe in the next year things there
43:25
is another supplied shock wait like they
43:28
always were managing for it yes
43:30
the cars are coming off the trucks it's just
43:33
i agree with you i think there's some political expediency
43:36
here the ship's act is
43:38
floating around mckenna is covering
43:40
every twist and turn of it right now
43:42
yeah i think it's great it's just gonna be a long time
43:45
we stick with didn't know exactly what they can build
43:47
the doing
43:48
no they they said they they're planning to build like the engstrom
43:51
lend their select a the eighteen a that they
43:53
are planning bike that's the kind
43:55
of thing they would want to be building there but
43:57
my favorite part of this was the
43:59
was size comparison which
44:02
is that intel says oh yeah ours
44:04
ours is that be huge this will be thirty football
44:06
fields in size oh
44:08
my god there's a citizen the had
44:11
said well ours
44:13
they they built one recently and
44:15
and twenty twenty and there's was sixteen
44:17
soccer fields inside and so sorry
44:20
thompson i'm so sorry for doing the owner
44:22
yes episodes the bourbon said
44:24
and then now just like
44:27
there's a third samsung five that will
44:29
legend we be twenty five
44:31
soccer fields and i just love that everything
44:33
is measured in sports fields
44:36
and not even the same one like we can't even
44:38
agree on the
44:39
it's the superbowl world cup its
44:42
and chips , when sean
44:44
as right it's all down he just had to put him is now being
44:46
like soccer fields are larger than football
44:48
field field
44:51
we know how large the this
44:54
, good as varied as a so it on the other thing
44:56
is entails already spending twenty billion and to
44:59
new fabs in arizona raised
45:01
in and tsmc is gonna
45:03
build factories and were texas and arizona
45:05
i believe mike schur manufacturing
45:08
is coming the united states
45:10
and then there's this the bill in congress
45:12
which would fund even more of it the
45:15
i buy the their the waiter talking about
45:17
it is just to put some capital
45:19
around it like when it ships
45:21
shortage ease up people like i remember when they announced
45:23
others football field
45:26
like maybe like vote for whoever was on
45:28
stage for that that point in time al
45:30
singer this is years
45:32
away from
45:33
the out about using urgency of into was on
45:35
cnbc to the ass and he was like
45:38
we had great earnings were excited he can see
45:40
where a little bit had a schedule the action
45:42
around the chipset is a okay
45:44
the might he's doing a politician's yeah because
45:47
i think you know he runs the biggest chipmaker united
45:49
states so it the ship sacks
45:51
passed by she gets the money if
45:53
you don't need a for the country's interesting to see it in
45:56
tell the i think that as a that
45:59
a good point i keep it cohen decoder will make
46:01
it happen he's got a good time but it's
46:03
the amount of politics he's doing this
46:06
sort of unlike most of the other
46:08
see i was so we encounter
46:10
we'll he's fully into invest
46:12
and intel pass some bills give us
46:14
money we'll shore up the american
46:16
high tech supply chain because we're intel
46:19
your other choices are samson into some
46:21
think it's because he's also different kind of
46:23
company right like like intel
46:26
has always been building a lot of their
46:28
chips here the united states they've they've always been
46:30
kind of a manufacturer on top
46:32
been r all the are in the other things we associate
46:34
been giant technology company the
46:37
, and the the microsoft
46:39
stuff the the world are doing that they're not
46:41
many the factory especially that
46:43
scale when they do it's always been outsourced
46:46
manufacturing so there is
46:48
a very different kind of they make sense that he would
46:50
come as this i'm like the car
46:54
ce o angle of things wheeling
46:56
dealing rather than the the way
46:58
we've seen google the and and microsoft and facebook
47:00
and other large tech companies interact
47:03
with washington he's
47:05
he's an engineer holler at so he's
47:08
stephanie engineering in
47:10
sell hours worth of they were doing before
47:12
says
47:14
what they returned a drones and and also some
47:16
weird stuff is
47:17
engineering i'm into of sieg heil
47:19
of money from dc
47:22
i respect the as not getting
47:24
to that process i think a lot of people row
47:26
of insulin and their ambitions
47:28
years ago because they would make fun of when the bit
47:30
strange say yes sir
47:32
the few good years monitor
47:35
online service
47:36
loads or i can say is just other is
47:39
just as , allows
47:41
like we've miss mobile in a the
47:44
place about purpose and
47:46
yeah but they were having pat
47:48
back is or things can be suppressed
47:50
thing as , this
47:53
serves serves i get i
47:56
say they're both laughing just this
47:58
last are they doing there i
48:02
got to
48:04
have competition and be pushed by and
48:06
the him than her
48:11
i mean free to see where they go in the next five years
48:13
yeah i will say this in this my lessons
48:15
on how they had earnings is it ok to be
48:17
some estimates third client
48:19
group which is there truly consumer ship represents
48:22
but their next generation server accept pets
48:24
as is on schedule the certain the only reason i bring it
48:26
up is because that ship code
48:29
named sapphire rapids
48:31
yes was absolutely
48:33
sounds like a nightclub that's incredible let's
48:36
just say whoever
48:36
the one that stuff get him on the the
48:39
consumer side
48:40
yeah they should just go straight to nightclub names
48:42
the next generation trips it sounds like a disney
48:45
like real it'll some yeah
48:49
this , of it called of nightclub sounds like
48:52
like , the
48:56
of just a it'll be it'll be
48:58
one way to get some heat back on these names okay
49:01
let's talk about tesla real quick back
49:03
another profitable year they called they break
49:05
through they sounds a cars just like
49:07
cars they break family get year this should cars
49:11
the party issues aside but
49:13
some illinois around them the
49:15
regular roma rest of the aroma
49:19
of us a i was gonna
49:21
do like a vapor where it's due vaporware segment
49:23
first still for so the tesla vaporware
49:26
situation is like increasingly
49:28
hilarious so the
49:30
cyberattack is the wait until next year there's a
49:32
there's there's a cyber shock floating around that
49:34
to factory in texas yeah
49:37
that he wants as you're driving there's there's
49:39
, videos are some random people walking up to
49:41
me like damn that was like a triangle like like
49:44
hilarious video a facade are so eager
49:46
it's such a random dude suicide security
49:49
guards or something they like that's the wiper
49:51
fastest ship services that assistance
49:54
so that's it delayed until next
49:56
year either highs over vaporware
49:58
course pretty confident
50:01
just based on the the the use the word
50:03
vapor we my timeline since we started
50:05
talking about vapor cars in show that that is us we
50:07
did that we , the nineties
50:09
back anyhow so i
50:12
think the cyber truck is vapor to ships just like
50:14
ships just the rivian and the fon fifty lightning all
50:16
the silverado all vapor to the
50:18
ship but then the roadster
50:20
is pure vapor the
50:22
semi is pure vapor then
50:24
he was like the most important thing we're going to do is
50:27
that the optimum robot which
50:29
right now once
50:34
he gets his office it's it's
50:37
is the most vapors this vessel saved
50:41
i think headlines to slay have
50:43
absolutely no to scrutiny of the think
50:46
a , light on it it really hit
50:49
the opposed to submissions must know
50:51
if you just it's a kid sister
50:53
the neural link movies got that like in
50:56
his in his in his he said he said
50:58
you know and
51:00
you on his own amazing things with the rockets
51:02
take off the land of the or
51:04
less rotation is all him he misses
51:06
was advancing hope i'm just saying
51:09
it's a guy in a suit and the
51:12
but then again balance don't forget about the robots
51:15
i won't forget about the robots and protests
51:18
i had a second properly are
51:20
they are selling an awful lot of cars you know
51:22
if you want to buy navy right now you
51:24
have suffered is your choice
51:28
if you can get make you you you can find one indy
51:31
hoggins or transfers adder has
51:33
an ionic fiber on the an excise it
51:35
is a vanishingly small list
51:38
like practical even if i'm a martyr
51:40
it as i see what else was doing great is
51:42
just as to the vaporware car situation
51:45
is bad it's and like with tesla
51:47
it's a tiny just he or hearse
51:49
i just i hope they announce a plane next
51:52
suggested it like a bigger and bigger
51:54
things to be announced that never
51:56
happened i just i'm just waiting for the
51:58
mobile to drive me around this that
52:00
an absolute going to get there
52:01
necessity is a robot it
52:04
just as as are committed to the phrase for self driving
52:06
says deeply problematic for
52:08
a variety reasons and now the rest of the car
52:10
industry has decided to abandon
52:13
the term self driving is
52:15
it as such a bad rap
52:17
so the a the self driving
52:19
coalition for safer streets has
52:21
renamed itself to the autos vehicle
52:24
industry association to distance
52:27
, from so that group is waymo
52:29
ford left uber volvo like
52:32
like and the software company's crews
52:34
aurora argo like zuk
52:37
they're all like yeah we're we're done with self driving
52:39
we're like we're not using that word anymore
52:42
leconte to early morning and the
52:44
european times so yeah west coast is
52:46
always just like a punch the for the they're
52:49
on they're the the on self driving
52:51
being those
52:53
are some some wild things
52:56
president of the tar trying to turn
52:58
in front of a truck and view on by the way seeing
53:00
a vapor he said for saw for having will be completely
53:03
operational this the she's and thing
53:05
for many years now that's
53:08
what he said
53:08
the real ira then again i
53:11
all credit to the accomplishments the
53:13
rockets take off in the way that's a big
53:15
accomplishment the the vapor
53:17
situation or and hustling for to like the whole
53:19
car industry are now is all vapor
53:22
it's just fake cars it's an it's render
53:24
ever mercedes where they didn't center the look and
53:27
i see all the way down mister everything's
53:30
the guy in a suit will , are
53:33

million dollar deal if you even
54:18
so much as a whisper the joe
54:20
rogan a spot if i simply a spotify
54:22
pr person like me part of the bushes and
54:25
remind you that it's not it's just a distribution
54:27
exclusive distribution deal and satisfied
54:29
is not employ arrogance but
54:31
it isn't exclusive distribution deal on
54:34
his show he often expresses an
54:36
enormous was skepticism
54:38
about vaccines the my research
54:40
they don't work lot of people are always mad
54:42
at him about this doctors are in a letter
54:44
and and this week neil young said you
54:46
know what i'm out
54:47
my music off a spot if i put up an open letter
54:50
the open letter went down and and
54:52
something at their machinations of and spot if i took
54:54
neil young's music ass is still seems
54:56
that a mask isn't it is of as it has been
54:59
a mess says spot a fire
55:01
higher joe rogan on some
55:03
level you have to believe they knew exactly
55:06
what they were getting into right they'd listen to the
55:08
show ah joe rogan is
55:10
very good at being an edge lord
55:12
it's he often stopped just short
55:14
of saying don't get the vaccine for
55:16
example a that's not a thing that he says
55:19
but he loves being in this mode of
55:21
i'm just asking questions and
55:23
as a result he has platform to lot
55:25
of conspiracy theorist some and some really
55:27
awful folks and
55:30
, one and spotify has said that they
55:32
prohibit their house from sharing
55:34
covered misinformation that is likely to
55:36
harm public health and yet on
55:38
the joe rogan subject they have taken no action
55:40
whatsoever so it really does feel like least to
55:42
me leave is the case or spotted by a said
55:45
one thing and done another so
55:47
this is why i say when i think of troublesome
55:49
moderation issues i think of you you've
55:52
covered content moderation a lot we
55:54
know it's a big social platforms we
55:57
know how their moderation seems work by and large
56:00
the actually pretty remarkable
56:02
we might not agree with
56:04
what does moderation teams do
56:07
that you have been to several facebook
56:09
moderation centers as a reporter
56:11
out the conditions of those people work in you've
56:14
been to their war room about election moderation
56:17
wish i believe you who think it's a conference
56:19
fence right neo mohan who
56:21
says that she runs off search youtube runs
56:23
moderation him a decoder we talked about moderation
56:27
we now twitter like just down the line social
56:29
platforms know they have to be at least somewhat unfair
56:32
you're spotify thirty of the level
56:35
of just opacity the out
56:37
of control
56:38
a heaping of it a single analog to it's
56:40
why i am i think we should
56:42
keep in mind as i spot a fire
56:44
is relatively young the in this
56:46
phase right like facebook
56:48
what didn't have moderation centers two or
56:50
three years into it's existence
56:53
spot of i only started
56:55
to side these exclusive distribution
56:58
deals two or three years ago and
57:01
i don't think the day has really made
57:03
it made priority to spin up
57:05
a set of like publishing standards
57:08
essentially they have not told us much about
57:10
how they moderate contents
57:13
you know i think up until now
57:15
we have wanted these platforms that the
57:17
podcast platforms and particular to
57:19
take and very light here and when it comes
57:21
to moderation because most podcasting clients
57:24
are just rss readers rights and
57:26
no matter how about how thing is on the internet for the
57:28
most part we're not calling on ah
57:30
you know rss feed readers to
57:32
remove feed says it's it's just sort of is
57:34
is that above the the level where
57:36
we want to see content moderate it's but something
57:38
seizes when you pay someone one hundred
57:40
million dollars rights he and he seem
57:42
to spot a fight as a sort of willfully ignored
57:45
that but that neil young came
57:47
along and isaac revealed
57:49
that they are going to have to change their
57:52
approach business also has only
57:54
sort of wilfried martens
57:56
we dream job has said the
57:58
other the extra we right
58:01
on the border
58:02
vaccine the skeptical things and
58:05
we've asked modify
58:06
we're shiite i got into a fight with spotify
58:09
over three actually i was real athletes we
58:11
once had or on she's traveling but
58:13
sassy have responded by a lot with hop on turn
58:15
newsletter she , a story about
58:17
how they were okay with something rogan
58:19
had said and we had this debate
58:22
that when they're like notices and cross or line as
58:24
or line you draw the line that
58:27
means that your
58:28
you have drawn the line in such a place of this
58:31
speech is okay like that's how
58:33
this works the preferred some and signature
58:36
it's like what you drew the line hundred
58:38
on it's you there's no one else
58:40
there's no a global standards right like
58:43
there's a first mm in this country that means a government
58:45
can draw the line so it's you
58:47
they are you from your contended with it as a bought
58:50
up all of these parts us to say habit
58:52
now course you know i was thing as as fun to put yourself
58:54
in the zoos of spot if i as they're thinking for acquiring
58:57
the joe rogan podcasts he had we
58:59
can assume that no point during that meeting
59:01
was there someone in the room saying well you know
59:04
this means we're going to have to
59:06
develop domain expertise on science
59:08
and medicine speak has chosen to be making
59:11
a lot of claims related to that and we want
59:13
to make sure that he is not going too
59:15
far outside the the battles of of what is
59:17
known to be true and yet in practice
59:19
i think when you put yourself into
59:21
a publisher roll the way spot if i has
59:24
you kind of have to do that youth
59:26
you have to take a position on something
59:28
like do think the vaccines are effective
59:31
which they are see and if so do
59:33
you want to pay people to tell them the
59:35
opposite i don't think we should pay
59:37
people to tell them that the vaccines don't
59:39
work but spotify susan to do
59:41
that and it's oh it's only natural that you're sorry
59:43
to see folks an artist community rise
59:45
up and say the hell with this
59:47
the other problem here is the dynamics
59:50
of spot a size money which
59:52
are online
59:54
youtube or whatever right your youtube
59:56
or or instagram
59:59
influencer or whenever you put
1:00:01
the content on the platform the
1:00:03
monetize in some way they cut us
1:00:06
track don't track is almost not as
1:00:08
much as he wanted to be in an activity about
1:00:11
why a creative in a junk what you tube that's their patterns
1:00:14
we know it wealth spot if i read it
1:00:16
bids is actually renting the music
1:00:18
that you listen to him
1:00:19
there are some pot of money
1:00:22
that it makes and then it has a bunch
1:00:24
of deals with major labels and
1:00:26
artist the paid him for stream
1:00:28
which those numbers your not high might
1:00:30
have some other deal but basically every
1:00:32
time you pay spotify for music it
1:00:34
is pre allocated some your subscription
1:00:36
fee labels every
1:00:39
time you stream music and then it obviously layers
1:00:41
on advertising with podcast is just
1:00:43
owns a bunch of studios and it paid
1:00:45
rogan all this money and every
1:00:47
time you stream an episode of a podcast
1:00:51
you they they don't pay for and again right
1:00:53
which is very different model than every time you stream
1:00:55
is song someone gets paid and also they can keep
1:00:57
all the ad revenue and a keep all the ad revenue
1:01:00
so they have a huge economic incentive to make this work
1:01:02
and there i i think that there
1:01:04
trying to lump the to things together daniel
1:01:07
accessible i don't want to moderate rap
1:01:09
music
1:01:11
what to for right but
1:01:13
they didn't try for while to like the
1:01:15
list art kelly songs by
1:01:17
the way i think this a really hard
1:01:20
problem like don't want to sit here smuggling
1:01:22
and tell you that i think the question of what
1:01:24
do do about art kelly on to streaming service is
1:01:26
really easy my basic feeling is
1:01:28
it should be okay to search for these people but again
1:01:31
if you're going to put yourself publish are role
1:01:33
and say we're going to put together a list
1:01:35
of r and be hits i think
1:01:37
it's actually okay for people who work at the company
1:01:39
that say well i don't know if we want feature this person and
1:01:41
i can understand other people saying that's ridiculous
1:01:44
if you're going to start policing the behavior of every artist
1:01:46
we're going to have to delete the platform right so
1:01:49
hard unsatisfying problems
1:01:52
unsatisfying but you know all that said
1:01:54
that i i been fairly critical of spotify
1:01:56
on the so do you think young
1:01:59
gonna be the
1:02:00
the one doing this like are we gonna see other
1:02:02
musicians and is there any musician
1:02:04
who could actually get spot if i'd be like actually
1:02:06
never mind
1:02:07
so yeah somebody
1:02:10
, twitter today was like what i
1:02:12
was asking me how different is this
1:02:14
if it's taylor swift or bts yeah i'm
1:02:16
like oh my i think to be really different
1:02:18
hiding spot if i would have to say a lot
1:02:21
more more for no other reason
1:02:23
than were taylor and bts go
1:02:25
others will presumably fall and again i do think
1:02:27
people will will follow neil young's your spleen
1:02:29
or something i've been thinking about today is
1:02:32
on one hand i think most artist want to be on spotify
1:02:34
cause it's good for a further exposure to do
1:02:36
think once you hit some kind of threshold
1:02:39
meal neil young apparently of six million monthly listeners
1:02:41
i bet he's making some in a meaningful
1:02:43
amount of of money off of that although i don't
1:02:45
know how much i didn't know probably also a lot
1:02:47
of artists who are already rich and
1:02:49
if they want to make a stand by losing their
1:02:51
spot if i streaming revenue which
1:02:54
is nothing compared to what they already have
1:02:56
it's supposed to it's they could make now it's
1:02:58
not always gonna be there call it's gonna be the call
1:03:00
of the record labels are rightfully my
1:03:02
understanding is that warner brothers essentially had to go
1:03:05
along with neil young when he
1:03:07
made this decision so it won't just
1:03:09
be as simple as you know taylor deciding
1:03:11
she she doesn't want to be on the platform other
1:03:13
taylor has been reporting all of her own music
1:03:16
for edmund you know this would give her the flexibility
1:03:18
to do that so look artist
1:03:20
yo throughout all of history have made political
1:03:23
stance he adds to the upset that spotify
1:03:25
the upset want to take political
1:03:28
stay on said to us you know spread
1:03:30
nonsense i think it's
1:03:32
it's only natural that we're gonna see an ever
1:03:34
increasing number of conflicts between those two sides
1:03:37
that it really does it
1:03:39
the fascinating about can some artists
1:03:41
leave if you're warner brothers
1:03:43
and you've got neil young to
1:03:45
is not releasing a ton of new music there's
1:03:48
like a catalogue artist and
1:03:50
you're always also in negotiations
1:03:53
about rates with spot a fire
1:03:55
and apple music and title this
1:03:57
is great for you right
1:04:00
quit spot a five
1:04:02
some people will switch to title
1:04:04
a jack dorsey is a sweet animals you should join
1:04:06
title because he bought it for some reason
1:04:09
is amazing some you were in a swiss
1:04:11
apple music new youngest to say
1:04:13
apple music's entitle have high quality
1:04:15
audio says officers about
1:04:18
right so maybe it maybe will cause some
1:04:21
rebalancing and streaming but you're also going
1:04:23
to cause a bunch of sales
1:04:26
the like neil young the
1:04:28
vinyl or cds
1:04:31
or never ever give some claim that cities are coming
1:04:33
back and
1:04:34
the premises i saw true but states
1:04:37
it's a meme out there if you in the hi
1:04:39
fi world seaborne see these comments but
1:04:41
that's that's great for warner and then
1:04:43
ever and three others new like to boost his
1:04:45
physical sales were he makes way more money
1:04:47
than streaming and into potentially
1:04:51
has a wedge between spot a financial use
1:04:53
of that has never existed before that
1:04:55
was one of the who else can we get to
1:04:58
spot
1:04:59
so i do want a week for like six months
1:05:02
yeah i mean i i'm
1:05:05
, confident enough in my knowledge of the music
1:05:07
industry to know how that plays out bites
1:05:09
is that what does that outcome soundly summer
1:05:11
plausible me legs yeah sort
1:05:13
of of it you think if
1:05:16
you're like it up and coming pop star he
1:05:18
and he wants you get
1:05:20
way more famous than you are so day and you're
1:05:22
gonna cut off spot a fire is have access
1:05:25
points adding that really does hurt you
1:05:27
write as i think that spotify has a huge
1:05:29
imprinted on the millennials on the jersey
1:05:31
kids and us who be hard
1:05:33
to really dominate the charts if they just cannot
1:05:35
find your music there you know
1:05:37
even amid all the and happiness
1:05:39
over there streaming rates year the only
1:05:42
two really long term
1:05:44
holdouts among the pop stars were taylor
1:05:46
swift and beyond say he and
1:05:48
they got on board eventually right like
1:05:50
they essentially had really long windows
1:05:53
but they all said yes have studied sort of tells
1:05:55
me that overall the dynamics for these artists
1:05:58
are such that they wanna be on spot of it
1:06:00
even if joe rogan is there to either
1:06:02
is more she was salazar said he was a new
1:06:04
artists are getting discovered on tick tock
1:06:07
actually that's a dynamic here they're getting discovered
1:06:10
on sept hot place like
1:06:12
ikea like you know go
1:06:14
for a run to their music on tick
1:06:17
tock raid bosses ,
1:06:19
six songs are we to nasa says it's
1:06:21
it's it's it's a such a
1:06:24
real pressure as his house how long do you think i
1:06:26
want to run the last set up
1:06:29
last good versus all conspiracy theory
1:06:32
for me i pay a lot of sense in said
1:06:34
that dynamic because
1:06:36
whatever adams music industry tends to happen to
1:06:38
the rest tech industry in short order like
1:06:41
, is always upheaval it's always drama
1:06:43
and because artists cycle so fast there's
1:06:45
always a new cast him like unhappy
1:06:47
characters taking stands like
1:06:50
the museum is it just moves faster than every other industry
1:06:53
and fact is always at the center of it's the best
1:06:55
of in moderation france modify released france modify
1:06:58
that i have just been puzzling over
1:07:02
from a day now they
1:07:04
say we have clear policies in place and we remove
1:07:06
twenty thousand podcast episode
1:07:09
since the beginning of a pandemic recovered misinformation
1:07:13
that's nuts to me the
1:07:16
how to press the week twenty
1:07:18
thousand times is it the the room
1:07:20
for monkeys or typewriters dude is
1:07:23
it by facebook is facebook accenture contractors
1:07:26
they said our our in house team sometimes goes
1:07:28
outside experts who
1:07:31
are the outside experts i guess
1:07:33
or long you have to listen
1:07:35
to halt this this get
1:07:37
supported to sort of i did a solicitor
1:07:39
the full hour , a half of like
1:07:41
intel chip sab subsidy news before
1:07:44
they get to this far as
1:07:46
the seems like the most challenging mutters
1:07:50
yes usually usually challenge in
1:07:52
moderation problem as and i would know
1:07:55
to that's spotify
1:07:57
is the weather disclosing it it's a very
1:07:59
sort of they did way of
1:08:01
doing it like if you look at what the big platforms
1:08:03
are are are doing a minute i am i mean specifically
1:08:06
you tube twitter facebook
1:08:09
they're reporting what they call prevalence which
1:08:11
is essentially of the bad stuff
1:08:13
that was on the platform like how
1:08:15
likely where people actually see it's
1:08:18
arms you actually can't figure that out if
1:08:20
you know that spot of my removed twenty thousand episodes
1:08:22
relic what you actually want to know his wealth how
1:08:24
many people listen to those episodes
1:08:27
rights it might that number might not
1:08:29
be much higher than twenty thousand because i'm
1:08:31
assuming that a lot of these these things that were
1:08:33
removed may have been created on
1:08:35
acre wood to spotify as user generated
1:08:37
content platform right like i would be surprised
1:08:40
if his modify had removed a lot of episodes
1:08:42
of the concept that it itself is producing
1:08:45
to there's a so many question marks here
1:08:47
again spotify ossetia more to
1:08:49
build trust how did they know what to
1:08:51
remove like
1:08:53
people are having to listen to everything this
1:08:55
is their warehouse somewhere where people are being forced
1:08:57
to listen to these horrible podcasts
1:09:00
you can
1:09:00
wagstaff on spotify like even
1:09:02
report stuff and my guess is they
1:09:05
just have a to of reports that is handled
1:09:07
by a mix of in house people and external
1:09:09
contractors and they're
1:09:12
, that to my guess is they're not doing a lot
1:09:14
of pro active moderation that they might
1:09:16
be doing some keyword searches
1:09:18
and you know my guess is if you go to upload a podcast
1:09:21
the spot of ice and the title is just
1:09:23
a bunch of like slurs like that probably
1:09:25
won't go through through like my
1:09:27
guess is as a bill like some of
1:09:29
these layers sir more rudimentary
1:09:31
more but
1:09:34
you know again it doesn't matter what to doesn't matter
1:09:36
what the processes are what your systems are
1:09:39
s when you're most famous
1:09:41
you're says the
1:09:43
a really need to get vaccinated they're
1:09:45
going to come into your house and he's not an employee
1:09:48
the very big stickler is about this i
1:09:51
think right now because of is exclusive
1:09:53
people think he's an employee see and the way
1:09:55
that you know the gimlet staff
1:09:57
is employees or whatever else
1:10:00
the summer to drill down on this right you
1:10:02
, the podcast episodes
1:10:05
in a world for a world were
1:10:07
distributing them on this list of deals
1:10:09
they were delivered via rss
1:10:12
feeds he and i personally uncomfortable
1:10:14
with really bad stuff being distributed
1:10:17
over rss feeds if you're a bad person
1:10:19
you want to listen terrible things and you want to search for
1:10:21
those things and list of them on your own time it's
1:10:23
i'm basically fine with that because that's the price
1:10:25
for me living in a free society rice
1:10:28
i think we're it changes is a big
1:10:30
corporation concern and says
1:10:32
we're going to give us our stamp of approval we're
1:10:34
going to pay huge sum of money for it and
1:10:36
northern a promoted across various surfaces
1:10:39
of our apps now i know how aggressively
1:10:41
spot a spotify promotes podcast
1:10:43
to meet but this is also personalized
1:10:45
so i have no idea how aggressively it's showing
1:10:47
joe rogan to people i can tell it's not showing joe rogan
1:10:50
to me it sees what i was into think
1:10:52
it's his nose but i think it's important to
1:10:54
highlight some of those differences can i think some
1:10:56
people listen to this and it'll says oh well here
1:10:58
those the left again with cancelled culture and they're
1:11:00
afraid of ideas that they are mad at the like
1:11:02
whatever and it's like know
1:11:05
we're talking about at what level
1:11:07
do we want companies to intervene and
1:11:09
be moderators and i'm saying is that the
1:11:11
level where you have decided
1:11:13
to pay someone a huge
1:11:15
sum of money he has actively promote
1:11:17
them because then it's actually not just about what
1:11:20
joe rogan believes it's about what
1:11:22
spot of i is actively supporting and
1:11:24
that's what that's what we're really talking about here
1:11:26
i have it is not a precedent in the entertainment
1:11:28
industry for these companies being
1:11:30
the moderators oftentimes like see the
1:11:32
disease in an example of one is a moderator
1:11:35
in a bad way and and then
1:11:37
leno a lot of tv
1:11:39
companies are are putting these people
1:11:41
on there there's on the airwaves and and like a wait a minute
1:11:44
actually feel back and his
1:11:46
cancel them like literally cancel
1:11:48
them because it's not it
1:11:50
doesn't jive with what they they want to do on their
1:11:52
their network so is this a ton
1:11:54
of precedence to disappear like actually
1:11:57
know this isn't working out you've gone too the
1:11:59
far we pay you so
1:12:01
much money
1:12:02
the be here exclusively and
1:12:04
we look at like the tv model the so much presidents
1:12:07
and in and it's a release highlights
1:12:09
the the cowardice i think a
1:12:11
spot of ice in in this
1:12:13
situation
1:12:14
yeah i think you're exactly right these
1:12:16
are decisions that we ask entertainment companies
1:12:18
to make all the time i mean
1:12:21
like god help any you know movie star
1:12:23
who accidentally says that are taiwan is
1:12:25
an independent country yeah right like you're going to be
1:12:27
apologizing for the rest of your your
1:12:29
life you know i think the
1:12:31
, are are are much more consequential
1:12:33
issue so so
1:12:36
know i'm in but look you know it means
1:12:38
like we have seen the story so many times
1:12:40
of war were a platform once it both ways
1:12:42
right they want to say we're just
1:12:44
a a clearinghouse for content common
1:12:47
get what you want right we're not gonna put
1:12:49
our arts some on the scale or if we do
1:12:51
it's only going to be based on what we think that you will
1:12:53
like and we want all of the riches
1:12:55
that will come with with building that platform but
1:12:58
then we also want to inhabit the role
1:13:00
of a traditional publisher and we want to go
1:13:02
and and support the kinds of content that we
1:13:04
think are you know are the most engaging this
1:13:06
he had when they inhabit that second rule
1:13:08
the never wanna take the responsibility that
1:13:11
other people who are in that role you
1:13:13
know in the media business for
1:13:15
example sort of already place
1:13:17
so you know with for for all
1:13:19
that i'm running my mouth i'm very confident
1:13:22
spotify will figure this out eventually
1:13:24
like i think these this is is like kind of a growing
1:13:27
pains thing is it you know when spotify
1:13:30
bajo rogan to had a long conversation with
1:13:32
with nicholas who was than running hot pot
1:13:34
for new york magazine york just kind
1:13:36
of with predicted that these dynamics
1:13:38
were going to happen i didn't predict neil young
1:13:40
but it's like conflict is coming
1:13:43
and like and conflict will be resolved
1:13:45
when you start to answer some of the questions
1:13:47
that were bringing up on that were podcast so
1:13:50
you know i wish spotify had address some of
1:13:52
the stuff are a little sooner
1:13:55
and i wish that they would give us better answers
1:13:57
on they're giving us today it's blood in my
1:13:59
experience most platforms do get
1:14:01
there eventually we'll see i think
1:14:03
this modify it has
1:14:05
if you assume and any it's a fair assumption
1:14:07
that the twenty thousand episodes is deleted are mostly
1:14:10
user generated content appointed to anchor
1:14:13
that they're not policing individual
1:14:15
rss the step
1:14:17
yet in just in the spot if i was is we
1:14:20
have we ingest or surface lot of i
1:14:22
like i don't know of any like
1:14:24
is sitting around with his time on the big red button willing
1:14:26
to the latest forecast if he is
1:14:28
of the a hell of a story so daniel
1:14:30
like it may not be great but
1:14:33
the do anything like that it's scale they have
1:14:35
to build a huge team to do it eventually
1:14:37
those people are denied the as put
1:14:39
up job listing where you can even find the job listings
1:14:42
that like we've got only hire the people and
1:14:44
do the work then be calm
1:14:47
or moderation company like
1:14:49
the face work is a great example like their
1:14:51
moderation company to the point now where
1:14:53
they fund a court system iraq
1:14:56
this is the only way to do this fairly
1:14:58
is an independent judiciary that we have
1:15:00
created and it's like this is nuts
1:15:03
but it might also just be the end of the road
1:15:05
for everyone and they all have to publish
1:15:07
the rules
1:15:08
it's really unfair to participate in a platform
1:15:11
that will moderate you enjoy your shirts if
1:15:13
you don't even know the rules apply some expects
1:15:15
you to follow
1:15:16
they'll say it's true and like and
1:15:18
i agree with that but to be a little
1:15:20
bit globe how many podcasts
1:15:23
spotify on is it ten is
1:15:25
it twenty is that thirty we're talking about
1:15:27
something that fits on like two pages google
1:15:29
doc is basically like the number of shows that
1:15:32
i think spotify is producing
1:15:34
that's actually and extremely manageable
1:15:36
content moderation right that basically asking
1:15:39
how does vox media moderate what vox
1:15:41
media producing like scale
1:15:44
, the challenge that spotify actually
1:15:47
and they f it up
1:15:49
man
1:15:50
it's it's lot like netflix and think
1:15:52
it's netflix with the with the thing
1:15:54
with dave chappelle the same same
1:15:56
situation of like oh no we can't moderate
1:15:59
and it's like you're not this book
1:16:01
you're you're an entertainment company you have commissioned
1:16:04
this person to make this product
1:16:06
you can absolutely say aps actually
1:16:08
like if i going right a blog
1:16:11
four thousand words on why i love eating
1:16:13
neela has every right to be like actually alex
1:16:15
no we're not going publish that on
1:16:17
the verge eight thousand words the
1:16:19
accident shit
1:16:21
get to twelve to
1:16:24
you are they have that right and they keep acting like
1:16:26
oh no no you know it's success with noted on facebook
1:16:29
use your technology company but you're not cease
1:16:31
books when faced with that's another
1:16:33
whole other story of like their full publishing
1:16:35
thing but you are very fundamentally and entertainment
1:16:38
company and you have ever use your
1:16:40
entirely with a new right presumably
1:16:42
contractually to
1:16:44
it stop this instead they're like oh
1:16:46
who can who can do it who
1:16:49
knows you can
1:16:51
i'm like he , you're
1:16:53
here we are getting into a debate
1:16:56
over free speech which
1:16:58
which can get really tedious
1:17:00
and it's impossible and it's obviously very
1:17:03
unsatisfying unsatisfying
1:17:05
i am surprised as a journalist who grew
1:17:08
up very much and not free speech tradition
1:17:10
at how far we are moving away to
1:17:12
like actually like we do want to
1:17:15
get rid of a lot of speech we're seeing it from the
1:17:17
right right now crawl across his elementary
1:17:19
school districts that like one have been one you know
1:17:22
a wonderful literature about like the holocaust
1:17:24
and with slavery and everything with
1:17:26
so i feel like i do want to stand
1:17:28
up for platforms that want
1:17:31
to welcome want wide variety
1:17:33
of use including views that including find
1:17:36
upsetting or you know that letter thing
1:17:38
but at the same time i didn't their to sort
1:17:40
of a handful sort issues where handful
1:17:42
am going to judge you for what you
1:17:45
promote and public health and safety
1:17:47
is is this of the top of that list for me he
1:17:49
just said platforms to publish things even if you don't support
1:17:52
them and make him comfortable your own sub
1:17:54
stacks it's an obvious reference to some sack was published
1:17:56
sack little moderation manifesto this
1:17:58
week's manifesto don't know if they
1:18:00
the new young was gonna get no think the swat five
1:18:02
it's certainly these things lined up perfectly
1:18:04
for you to right sparkling issue be
1:18:06
nice on it sounds like is like work on
1:18:08
all no holds barred like we're
1:18:10
like we're gonna do you hate speech the bars
1:18:12
that like we think the answer is
1:18:15
you know that everything was platform is
1:18:17
a direct relationship between you and a writer we trust
1:18:20
writers who just or audiences about it does
1:18:22
and that's fine as subside like takes a hot i think
1:18:24
there's a little bit as at the end of the day
1:18:26
like what is the one of the most
1:18:29
highly paid writer and some seconds i
1:18:31
know now thinks you are
1:18:33
like your determined by your race for example
1:18:36
that is true right now like there's
1:18:38
there's a lot of uncomfortably there that
1:18:41
i get it from our perspective
1:18:43
having any other precise you it's like this is not
1:18:45
a competition for these five months adding
1:18:47
that the heart of like a subset thing as well
1:18:49
if you don't like even just not pay them
1:18:52
and you can pay another sub soccer
1:18:54
i'm like that feels competitive in
1:18:56
a way that the internet is very good at making so
1:18:58
competitive the you wanna leave
1:19:00
spot a sigh the your apple music
1:19:03
which probably has the exact same set of
1:19:05
restrictions maybe even more
1:19:07
knowing apple right and then you
1:19:09
get into do they want to censor the music
1:19:12
industry was who i talk to our bed which
1:19:14
is the most problematic my
1:19:17
i grew up in the nineties with tipper gore
1:19:20
the pudding parental advisory labels
1:19:22
on the cds sam goody it's which
1:19:25
i thought was ridiculous amounts younger i still think it's
1:19:27
ridiculous
1:19:28
yeah i'm with you any it's a very odd time for speech
1:19:31
america but here it's like that there's pain
1:19:33
the money that that's not the changes
1:19:35
in american a real when i think of different
1:19:37
relations about speeds like and
1:19:39
with you and you and gore and in
1:19:42
obviously like saying oh you need to go
1:19:44
shut this down as a slippery slope because in you have does
1:19:46
the be like a gay people snowed are they don't
1:19:48
appear and marvel films of
1:19:50
until we feel their marketable in china lake
1:19:53
until several years later when we say
1:19:55
that that person that one guy
1:19:57
in a sign that erasmus is in the
1:19:59
unnamed
1:20:00
crying like
1:20:03
it's sunset
1:20:05
that's obviously like sunset few obviously little
1:20:07
bad for just be like yes and i'm down spot
1:20:09
a five foot at the same
1:20:11
times lake i get really
1:20:13
annoyed with their in their aggressive
1:20:16
we don't know what to do there's no precedent
1:20:18
share when they are absolutely is a lot
1:20:20
of precedence on on both from the technology
1:20:23
side and from the entertainment sides
1:20:25
for solutions and is always gonna be tricky
1:20:27
because we don't want to beat it either
1:20:29
we would be tick tock saying lesbians
1:20:32
don't exist in the hash tags
1:20:34
and , saying oops week we turned on the wrong
1:20:37
switch again and which happens consistently
1:20:39
but we also don't what i'm saying
1:20:42
what i'm of other really bad hash tags
1:20:44
and
1:20:46
they just need to stop washing their hands
1:20:48
the situation they need to take a stand one way or
1:20:50
the other and right now they're they're
1:20:52
taking joe rogan sides but
1:20:54
also unlike the les mis
1:20:56
way possible
1:20:58
yeah i think that is like i most
1:21:00
of this is like impression base
1:21:02
because i love i really not wanted to talk to me
1:21:04
about any of this stuff but i feel like for the
1:21:06
past couple years their stance whenever there's been
1:21:09
a controversy has sort of been like give
1:21:11
it a day it will pass like
1:21:13
this will blow over you know every
1:21:15
once in awhile jos gonna say something
1:21:18
a little cuckoo but ah
1:21:20
we will weather the storm me and
1:21:22
we can to sort of proceed business
1:21:24
as usual he had the reason
1:21:27
i think the neil young thing was a big deal
1:21:29
was i think this shows that
1:21:32
they're like the pressure is going to escalate
1:21:34
right like it's not gonna be a
1:21:36
little bump little bob but like everything is
1:21:39
basically so like it's gonna be
1:21:41
escalating pressure on them
1:21:43
to necessarily dump rogan
1:21:46
this but to publish
1:21:48
them publishing standards
1:21:50
right he added force them is
1:21:53
eat oatmeal i brought up as subset earlier
1:21:55
yeah earlier think what spotify actually
1:21:57
believes his spirits only way closer to
1:22:00
the sad fact posted yesterday
1:22:02
that was spot a fire said so far said
1:22:05
, like we don't want to police misinformation
1:22:07
cause we don't think it works like we don't think it's
1:22:09
helpful to crack down on misinformation
1:22:12
misinformation gonna be out there whatever whatever
1:22:15
do think that subsets sort of went overboard trying
1:22:17
to wash their hands of that subjects but
1:22:19
i think it's reasonable for a platform
1:22:21
to say in some cases weirdest
1:22:24
not going to bother to try to go after
1:22:26
the stuff based on the kind
1:22:28
of tech platform we are and based
1:22:30
on the way that people get content from
1:22:32
us like such a
1:22:34
tool that why does pay to use right
1:22:37
more often that it is the opposite
1:22:39
so like substance is substance service provider
1:22:41
he are generally it's like we don't pressure payment
1:22:44
processors don't pressure hosts too
1:22:46
much when it comes to questions
1:22:48
of content moderation because again most
1:22:51
of us be like while the price of living in a free society
1:22:53
as a bunch of people make money and horrible ways
1:22:55
and post stupid stuff on the internet or here's
1:22:57
my bold prediction for that from
1:22:59
us
1:23:00
i should a suitcase or site next
1:23:03
to all of this his back
1:23:05
see that from i listen to something as
1:23:07
an odd vs on a services tax to your
1:23:09
sound like a hundred and forty million dollar
1:23:11
sponsorship deal with sandals is the
1:23:14
only company the need to focus
1:23:16
on rss see the streams are you too he
1:23:18
got his bag from a sponsorship i
1:23:21
could see joe rogan being like
1:23:23
verge definitely get that bag gambling company
1:23:26
i can see me like this like this i hate spotify
1:23:29
ashley carman at the verge has reported that
1:23:31
a guests get a smaller bump
1:23:34
i'm hearing on my show as i when exclusive
1:23:37
than before my relevance to declining
1:23:40
the money just like pay out my
1:23:42
deal in on it out jamie
1:23:45
fox is doing mcm as
1:23:47
with the fire there he ended
1:23:49
up some money for me then he bails
1:23:52
and a reclaimed right that's that's a winning
1:23:55
move for him
1:23:56
that's my prediction is if he takes a bag from
1:23:58
one of the gambling companies and discuss and debate the
1:24:00
the i people might be a good
1:24:03
outcome right like again if you want it
1:24:05
listens oregon like listener joe rogan
1:24:07
rice i come at us from the perspective
1:24:09
of us are paying spot a fire
1:24:12
customer and somebody who worries
1:24:14
about what the largest platforms promote
1:24:16
to audiences of hundreds of millions
1:24:18
of people and i feel
1:24:20
like things are little bit easier for me is
1:24:23
is modify is not promoting anti vax
1:24:25
content in it's asked by if joe
1:24:27
wants to like go run as rss feed from
1:24:29
his rants and texas ah the on
1:24:31
take like gambling money to
1:24:34
do it i have no issue with that
