Deep dives
SNL is now a YouTube show, not a TV show
Saturday Night Live (SNL) episodes are watched about 4 million times live on TV, but about four times that much on YouTube. SNL has shifted from being a TV show to a YouTube show, with its secondary market becoming its primary.
Tesla needs to start advertising
Tesla's refusal to buy ads is being tested as demand for their cars has slowed. With profits being hit by price cuts, investors are urging Tesla to start advertising and convert non-believers, as their positive attention through social media is no longer enough.
The new party economy
Two conflicting statistics show that Americans are going out to dinner earlier than ever, with 5 pm becoming the fastest growing dinner reservation time, while late-night spending from 11 pm to 5 am has increased by 11% compared to pre-pandemic levels. This reflects a new party economy with two extremes of early dining and late-night partying.
