Episode notes

You have to be a person callable, that's right. Ye? You have to give yourself the chance to get a chance. Well, because you never know. Because look at what happened with this ricata law thing. All the people that were on that stream had absolutely no idea that this was going to happen. They don't get that call unless they're already one of the guys or one of the girls who's talking about law on youtube. And that's really the question. Tha howlish in the dald iare going to get the call. It all comes back to doing these things that that put you in a position for something good to happen. Yes, yea

Something unique and amazing is happening on YouTube, and oddly enough, it was revealed by Rekieta Media and the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. It’s a contentious, complex event in the public interest, and Rekieta and his guests have democratized expertise. And they’ve obliterated the traditional networks in the process.

Media companies are beholden to many, many people and organizations. Streamers aren’t. And this mirrors what we’re seeing in sports commentary, where the future probably suggests that we’ll have the ability to run live commentary on game broadcasts.

That sounds great, but it also comes with a few sticky parts -- like the proclivity for the internet class to lob undue criticism. Kevin says that we’re becoming “culturally obsessed with outing the bad guys,” and he’s right. The question is to what degree that’s beneficial and whether we can keep it from being destructive.

Michael Che and Tim Dillon had a Twitter fight, and Matt thinks that means traditional media like Saturday Night Live has already lost. The moral of the story here is that the doors are about to bust open for anyone -- including you -- to be the expert. Do not wait. Start this now. Because as Kevin says, you need to give yourself a chance to get ‘the call.’ And that might be the most useful bit of advice we’ve given in 118 episodes of The Create Unknown.
