It seems like it's back and back with a vengeance, taking down InfoWars. Is satire back on the menu?
Yeah, I mean, I'm glad the families were involved in this takeover of InfoWars because it seems like getting their buy-in is very important given the nature of InfoWars and that tragedy. So I'm glad they have involvement. I don't know what The Onion is going to do with this. I think one of the interesting things is they were doing a fire sale of InfoWars.

It wasn't just the domain or the assets. This included everything from Platform's studio equipment. They had an online dietary supplement store, a Teradyne armored truck, its social media accounts, and even a Winnebago motorhome. So Alex Jones was selling everything to try to get enough money to pay out these fines that he's been ordered to pay to the families.

So I also just don't know what they're going to do with the Teradyne armored truck. So we're going to find that out soon. Maybe put the Onion logo and drive it around.

Yes, and Alex Jones, no surprise, was on X saying he's going to stay until the lights turn off and that there's probably a big conspiracy to take InfoWars away, obviously. So he isn't going away forever, but I think this is a big step in limiting his reach because InfoWars was relatively popular in the media landscape.

It just seems like we're in this new era of absurdity, almost, for spectacle. And I think Jake Paul... and the Paul brothers, somehow they are always in the news. They just find a way to pierce through this bubble and are always being talked about. The second thing is, I think this is a really smart move from a Netflix perspective.

What I kind of think about it is, it's very similar to pay-per-view boxing, but you actually capture the customer theoretically forever. So using this as a top of funnel to gain new subscribers, but then they don't just go away. Now they're subscribed to your platform.
