Thank you for being our guest. You guys, this is pretty awesome.
I'm glad to be here.
As you could probably tell from the episode, I'm not a wake surfer, but I tried. And Mark is pretty good. And what I did not realize is that you can do a dry start where you, if you're so good, you can just ride the board right off the boat and voila, tuxedo surfing video. And I can personally attest that I did see him do a dry start and he can, I mean, I think it's real. I think.
By the way, Priscilla's pretty awesome, too. They can both shred. Just have to say that. Because she's here tonight, too.
So right now, and A-plus, you guys, for self-reflection, we're going to revisit some of your past episodes. And we decided on some episodes that maybe were a little controversial. In the early days, you would grade every company that you covered, and you made some good calls, but also some questionable calls sometimes.
So I thought we would go down, do a little memory lane, and start with YouTube, which David, you gave YouTube a C in 2016.
Right. And you, Ben, said it could be as bad as a C-minus. And I just, I just, I have to, I just question that a little bit.
We were misguided. But let's just twist the knife a little because we have some quotes here. Ben, you said, I'm a little bit bearish on YouTube primarily because it's not a destination. And David said, like, who goes to YouTube and discovers something?
Well, today, you have analysts saying if you pulled YouTube out of Google, it would be worth half a trillion dollars, which is almost double where Netflix is. It's on track YouTube TV to be the largest cable provider in the United States.
You know, I have a house full of kids in my house. It's the first and the second screen because we have YouTube TV. So the question is, can they really be everything to everyone, right?
And it's a direct variable cost. $70 billion to creators over the last three years, which, again, is more than Netflix spends on content.
Well, and I mean, my source is also, if they're making money, it's little to no money. But they could obviously change how much they're paying out to creators. They can turn the spigot on and off.
Well, my show's on YouTube, your show's on YouTube. How do you feel about YouTube as creators?
Yeah. Grade today?
Huge. All right, moving on. The next company we're gonna talk about is LinkedIn. You covered it three days after they got bought by Microsoft. You both basically gave it an A. Ben quote, how are we both positive on this? I woke up Monday morning being like, what?
What about LinkedIn today?
Revisiting this was a little traumatic for me because this was, if you'll remember, this was an acquisition that like no one saw coming. There were no leaks, no reporting on this before it happened. And my producer was apparently like calling my phone nonstop in the morning. It was like the crack of dawn and I was not picking up. So she called my husband.
who came in and was like, Microsoft just bought LinkedIn, and you have to interview Satya and Jeff Weiner in an hour. And I was like, what? So yeah, so that's what I remember.
I mean, I think so. I actually went back.
It was great. My hair wasn't quite fully done, but we made it. We made it through. Okay.
