@neil I feel the fact that I had to look up ROI might exclude my opinions from a lot of conversations about this kind of stuff. That being said, I'm a big fan steady-state recurring revenue, it seems like actual math and not just opinions of worth.
@neil hmm I didn't think of that. Maybe this is my business naïveté showing but I don't understand the rabid need for more customers. Surely people would design a strategy that relies on having customers rather than getting new customers? 🤷🏼♂️
Tonight's movie selection is Timeline [imdb.com], a personal favourite and recommendation from my sister-in-law. It's clearly a 2004 movie but it has a fun charm to it.
Starring many famous actors. Paul Walker, Gerard Butler, and David Thwelis just to name a few.
The podcasters I respect and listen too won't go for this kind of deal. It's an important aspect of why I enjoy what they have to say and how they say it. So, in a way, my feeds are relatively safe. I am afraid of the industry wide implications though.
I like hearing the varied opinions on this exclusive Spotify/Rogan deal and it's implications. For me, walled gardens rarely benefit the audience/customer. I still can't see the benefits of a podcast being exclusive to a single app. Am I missing something?
All of the Apple's apps that leverage Catalyst lack proper Touch Bar support. If they do support it (for example Music) there is no customisation options. Pretty sad for first party applications.
@Joe scary times indeed. The simple fact that Facebook owns a huge section of all social media scares the poop out of me. I like the cozy little corner filled with nuts
@jacobrealo oooh I'm not that brave to order clothes online. I do it for work socks but I chickened out and visited the brick and mortar store before buying online
@Joe "Growth through acquisition means that companies succeed by having more money, not by having better products or prices. It's a winner-take-all death spiral"
Yup. From where I sit, I find this to be true way more often then not.
