H.I. #50: Queen of Spades
Hello Internet
What's Going on Behind the Scenes With YouTube?
I have spoken to several people at several different levels inside YouTube trying to get answers about this. And the feeling that I have come away with is that one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing inside YouTube. It's very hard to ever pin down an answer to some of these things. Like surely inside YouTube somewhere there is a document that says how this is going to work. Or maybe they just haven't really decided yet. They're just throwing stuff out and seeing how people react. There are parts of it that are not in communication with other parts of it internally. That's that's my impression ofwhat's going on.
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.
