Roy Wood Jr.

Like, this isn't a trustworthy beard.

I'll take that.

And now jump cuts are the norm.

They're even preferred.

To some degree.

Just get to the point.

It used to drive me crazy with stand-up because I saw comedians who I knew would do the joke one way live, and within the internet, they would cut out the pregnant pauses within the joke.

And I'm like, what are you doing?

Amen.

I did my analytics and I noticed the thing went down and I started doing it like this and the thing went up.

And I'm like, all right, I guess you can't argue with that.

I just, I hate that we are enslaving our creative talent

to consumers who are behaviorally a school of fish.

And you don't know which way they're going to change or turn.

And I think it takes a lot to really stand tall in the midst of just going with the flow.

Like, that's very, very hard.

I'm not crazy about it, but then I also...

You know, when it comes to, like, social media management, I've had a couple different people, and I remember at the Daily Show, you know, you would always take something, and then you would show it to the interns before you posted it.

And, like, they just got here.

But they're also the eyes that we want to consume this thing, and they would give you pointers and move this, and they would be right.
