Saudi Arabia's $1 Trillion Neon Project in the Desert
Saudi Arabia's planned luxury utopia, Neon, includes the development of a golf community named Gidori in the Saudi Arabian desert. This ambitious project introduces environmental concerns and raises questions about the Saudi government's involvement in such grand-scale endeavors.
Impact of Traditional vs. Streaming Entertainment at the Oscars
Despite the dominance of streaming platforms in the entertainment industry, traditional film studios had a stronger showing at the Oscars. Netflix and Apple's low success rates at the awards ceremony indicate a shifting focus towards TV shows over movies, prompting streaming services to reconsider their content strategies for better quality outcomes.
Neom is a $1T, 10.2k mile utopia currently being built in the Saudi Arabian desert. This luxury area will, of course, also now have a large golf “community” that looks straight out of a billionaire's dream sequence. Seems nice, but what are the issues with creating this giant adult theme park? Plus: Reddit targets a rise in valuation and Airbnb bans indoor surveillance.
