It was so depressing hearing from this guy trying to monetise anything and everything. That Paul vlog story was just *sad* to think that his takeaway was just about missed growth opportunities and money that could have been made. Capitalists going to capitalise. I really hate to imagine the future of the internet and wider media under the influence of people like him, in a system that incentivises it
I know people say underrated as a casual saying nowadays, but this podcast show is criminally underrated in the old sense of the word. Your team's sense of an interesting story is always compelling and fun to follow.
I feel like the friend ad makes sense from the perspective that it’s showing aspirational lifestyles of people who might use the product, a la beautiful people in makeup ads. It’s a marketing strategy that’s more vibes based than practical
Boomers still can't get their heads around Millennial and GenX fads, Now toss in concepts like Skibidi Toilet and the vast, unpredictable ocean of internet culture and they might actually explode. Great episode Taylor as always, Love the content.
Hey Taylor Lorenz. I found out about you a couple years ago from KF. Are you ever going to discuss your thoughts on KF and what that whole thing is, or would that be a topic that is too taboo for Vox? I'd be very curious as someone who is curious about botnets and anonymous account Internet Mobs on the Internet and how they function. Great podcast by the way. You honestly have been putting out some good episodes.
Thank you!! That means so much! I'd do a KF episode maybe if there was a news peg. I feel like they've lost a lot of relevance compared to a few years ago. Def something to keep on my radar though. Appreciate you listening!
@@TaylorLorenz Wow, I was not expecting a response...and that quick. Much thanks for that. Hmm, maybe it is out of the news cycle, and maybe it won't have that same panache on the news headlines that it did a couple years ago. I know there was someone at one point that was supposedly going after the forum for revenge p*rn, so that could be an angle...maybe you know the person I'm talking about...but you're right it's not in the news. Regardless, keep up the great content. I was skeptical before watching one of your podcast episodes, but these are actually surprisingly in touch for the present and future social media world. Vox is lucky to have you.
It’s interesting Boom was on their radar so early, in part because they were being monitored for fair use violations. Surveillance / IP protection as talent scouting.
The moment you guys started talking about friend and having a Google Home around your neck my phone immediately lit up wanting to know if I needed anything! 😂
I put off watching this video bc I thought I was having a stroke when I saw the words “skibidi” and toilet next to each other… I am so old, but wtf 😭😭😭😭😭
Skibidi is hilarious stuff... in bite sized chucks. I'm trying to figure out how you stretch one of these episodes out to 90+ minutes and still be fun. Also, Jake Paul? Ew. Edit: And the "Black Women for Harris" call was the first big Zoom call for the Harris campaign. The rest followed it. And the calls thus far have all been by groups not directly connected to the campaign. They've all been amazing though.
From Fred to Five Nights At Freddies, Hollywood has been trying to fold RUclips in some form into their ecosystem for over a decade with successes and failures. The relatively confusing thing with the IP rights to Skibidi Toilet is how much of it was used with sources from Valve and the copyrighted song mashup to the point I'd be curious what they could do with TV or film that wouldn't at least potentially lead to a lawsuit from someone along the chain of command. I supposed something could work out along the lines of what happened with Red Vs Blue and Halo, but it seems like the type of things that could have more hurdles than it's worth. It DOES make sense that people who worked on TMNT and Transformers would be the ones to try to look into adapting it since they're at least somewhat similar in tone and audience appeal, but it's still a pretty wild idea.
As a Gen X-er more techie than many peers but less than most millenials & Gen Z, really love your insights & the channel helps keep me up to speed. Im fascinated by how poorly AI "companions" are being promoted as tools for connection. Unless its more abt a self-contained echo chamber..
Cross promotion by being on someone else's show or react to their content. The algorithm is like chromosome reproduction. You have to mix and match to reproduce. The other low key way to do it is to make your entire podcast an ad. I've been suckered a few times into engaging with someone more just because they do that. Plenty of people like me don't use youtube premium, you let the app play while cooking, and a really long ad plays, and you entertain it. Suddenly, you start appearing in people's algorithms more.
@@little_cal_bearok good to know! I go on other people’s podcasts about once a week or every other week. I do a lot of TV too. But do you mean go on other RUclipsr’s shows? Do you have any recs of good people? Thank you again for this info!

I agree. This was a bit of a puff piece, huh. He said several things Taylor should have pushed back on.
the skibidi toilet interview is so bleak. no art only content
I felt this too. This guy makes me sad.

Yeah good point!
Such a good ep. HAPPY FRIDAY indeed

exploiting children can land you a 3rd house with a 30 foot ceiling. great episode tho
You have to be your own media brand. Media jobs are so tenuous now. You have to be able to take that currency with you.

Hella cool
Great content, but you're not promoting this 😢
Where else should I promote it? I'm trying my best!

@@little_cal_bear Who watches RUclips ads? Just block them with Adblock and Adblock Plus.

@TaylorLorenz yes! Specifically, RUclips shows. RUclips is the most watched thing.
