You could make me do anything. For $900 million. I would do anything for $975 million. Yeah, what is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques. I'm Andrew. And I'm David. And it's January still, but that doesn't mean there's no news. There is some tech stuff happening. Today, we've got a huge Apple announcement to talk about. Samsung Trifold's price got unveiled, and we have some thoughts. We also had a US TikTok get off to a rough start, and we're going to wrap it up with a fun game. But first. Which one do you want to do first to actually hear this? Do you want to hear me rant about Kabilame getting acquired or Weather YouTube? I want Weather YouTube.
The genre. Weather YouTube? Weather YouTube what? Weather YouTube. The genre that is Weather YouTube. Oh. I want Weather YouTube. I have takes. Okay, let's talk about Weather YouTube. I think, basically my take on Weather YouTube, now I'm hearing what you're saying. Do this to yourself. I think that Weather YouTube is tech YouTube. It is such a perfect, I mean, there's lots of... Wait, can you explain what you mean by that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Weather YouTube. So as you may or may not have heard, we live in the northeast U.S. and there's been a bunch of storms here recently, blizzards, in fact, snowstorms, which get really, really hype on social media. And if you engage with enough of these posts, your whole feed just becomes consumed with weather posts.
How would you know this, Marques? Well, because I'm one of those people. The last episode we recorded, if Marques wasn't talking, he was looking at weather stuff on Twitter probably. Yeah, it was actually insane. And so basically what happens is this, like this winter storm fern, for example, that we just had, was this Super Bowl event where I got to witness all of the parts of weather events YouTube, whether social media, meteorologists, I'll put it that way, on social media. And it is, there are so many parallels with tech YouTube. I'm sure this is true about lots of other genres, but here's how it goes, right? There's a bunch of the big channels, right? They are feasting they are putting out two videos a day talking about the different models and the different projections and how much snow you're going to get and if you watch these videos they're like 10 minutes long they're all neatly formatted and then they just go through and they're like if you live in wichita if you live in ohio valley if you live in northeast 95 corridor they name every single city as fast as they can so that people who are watching feel like they're a part of it
They're really good at this. They go over the map. They go over the projections, how much snow you could or could not get. And since it was a big storm, people were watching these videos for updates on the models to see how much snow they were about to get, and it was a lot. That's just like a Samsung event, an Apple event, where it's the Super Bowl for that genre. They all descend upon the place. They all talk about it. Everyone's thinking about, maybe I should get this one, maybe I shouldn't. And the big players are all doing their thing like they always do and talking about it. Then there are the like smaller slash newer or lesser known channels that are all doing the same thing. But because there are smaller channels, they need to find angles to be unique in their coverage of the storm.
What are the latest updates on Weather YouTube?
Even though they're all covering the same storm, you will hear them say things like, oh, I'm gonna be more responsible than the big channels and tell you that you're probably not gonna get that much snow. And they like to talk about something that they found that's not in the other channel's coverage because they need an angle in that way. In the same way that we see the same thing when we make a video about like a big phone and then a week later there's a bunch of coverage about yeah but the big guys don't tell you these things and then you get the same sort of stuff in tech youtube really quick i like auto started my car the other day and when my phone's not plugged in it defaults to the radio and as i sit in my car it's just the radio host talking to their local radio meteorologist
