So I do worry that increasingly, as we talk about CNN and Fox, but very few people watch those channels and they're mostly over 70 years old.
So those are literally dying channels.
and what people are getting their news from social media, they're getting the news from TikTok and Instagram and YouTube and the rest.
And algorithmically, the control of what you see is increasingly in a small number of hands, which are themselves politically influenced, or at least subject to political influence, susceptible to political influence.
And that, I think, makes it a lot harder to imagine that we're going to see a perpetuation of more free flow of information where high quality outlets are available to the average person.
I think high quality outputs are still available to a small number of people that are prepared to pay for them.
But that is very different than the kind of information flow that you and I are talking about, Zach.
actually let's pivot for a moment and talk about that information flow as it pertains to you and GZERO so look you have a good deal of influence you have a certain amount of fame you also have a lot of elite access but one of the things that has done best for you over the past year
almost entirely via social media, are your puppets and the social media virality of the puppets.
I mean, anyone hasn't seen the Ju Zero puppets.
Am I calling them right, just as a title?
Puppet Regime, which is the right name.
It's definitely the right name.
It's political satire.
It's political commentary.
It's a good degree of embedded information, meaning it's all of the above at the same time.
Special military.
I'm just doing my own version.
You really are these days.
So clearly there's a kind of a mixed bag, right?
