H.I. #50: Queen of Spades
Hello Internet
Is YouTube in a Difficult Position?
YouTube is in a very difficult position here, precisely because those ads pay way more than the YouTube advertising does. The proof of the pudding is just going to be in the tasting, isn't it? Just people are going to look at their figures in a few months' time. But after, after all, the dust has settled, if people are earning more money, I guess they'll shut up. And if, if they aren't, they'll scream bloody murder.
Brady and Grey discuss: a first cup of coffee, Rice Rats vs Swamphen, Brady Travels, AirBNB and the sharing economy, first thoughts on the Hello Internet Flag Referendum, Brady's refuses to play games, Hotstopper awareness auction results, the county flags of Liberia, things people happen to be doing while they are listening to the Hello Internet podcast corner, bi-weekly weigh in (YOU SHOULD CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE TEAM!), YouTube Red, and answers to some listener questions for the fiftieth episode.
