So, Netflix did what Netflix does and booked her to a multi-picture deal because data rules everything around us. TikTok also overtook everything as the most-watched app per person. That's according to App Annie, which says the average US consumer stared at TikTok for 24 hours in the last 30 days. YouTube clocked in at 22 hours and change. It's all about the opportunity costs.

Fred Wilson is a prominent Venture Capitalist who Lauren may or may not know. Regardless, he this week wrote a very compelling blog post about the promise of crypto and the when, how, and why of crypto gathering mainstream adoption and how incumbent kings of the internet looks like they'll last forever, but then something like social NFTs come around and now they look like Ozymandias. It's a party. New nerd millionaires of the world are invited, but they want you to come along, too. Meanwhile. after nearly a decade post-Facebook-acquisition, Instagram is kinda cleaning up its platform. YouTube is cleaning up, too, forcing children's programming to be less commercial or face banishment from the de-facto babysitter of today that is YouTube Kids. Also, Under Armour just signed Nick Mercs, who is not a professional athlete, but is a professional gamer. There's some crazy stats to back up why that's a good move, too.
