Television Made You - Entertainment? Propaganda? Programming by industry name. How many years has the TV screen in all its various sizes, stolen from your presumably sane life? Living vicariously through game shows where women of all shapes and sizes jump up and down when the charismatic and gamesome Bob Barker, tightly holding his microphone shouts out, “Come on Down.” You can just see the chills running up and down the spines of all of those glued to their TV screens every weekday morning. Every housewives' vicarious dream is to be on stage with Bob and other contestants and ultimately land a new Frigidaire. . The shut-ins of all genders after they feast on the game shows can catch up on the daily soaps. As The Something Another World Turns starts the afternoon lineup. Life is good with afternoon snacks tightly held in each hand. Mustn't miss out on the grains of sand filtering through the hourglass of time. . The evening news: Where the realities of the world are blurred and carefully choreographed soundbites that are not so clearly designed to make you feel informed but always leaving you with unimaginably and unanswered questions. . The breadwinner, whether it be man or woman walks through the evening door hungry for dinner. What could possibly be a more appetizing way to end a hard-working day? Sitting down with a freshly heated TV dinner perfectly ensconced on a well-positioned TV tray, just the right distance from the flickering black and white TV that in some time, in the not-too-distant future, will be in living Peacock color. . Those were the days of our lives in 1973. The times were… . Please enjoy reading the rest at: https://lnkd.in/gpZffDnz It’s free to do so.

Mr. Beast’s deal with Amazon isn’t the first Youtuber we’ve seen partnering with the big streamers and it won’t be the last. Issa Rae got a deal for Insecure with HBO because of her online series 'Awkward Black Girl.' a comedy loosely based on her life. And following this the success of Insecure led to an even bigger deal for Issa and HBO for a slew of other shows including 'Rap Sh*t', 'Sweet Life,' and others. Attention is king. Storytelling is king. People who can get attention from the masses will keep being rewarded. They will be rewarded by those who want to attract more eyeballs to their platforms, products, and services. And social media is a treasure trove of individuals who have mastered this. Open platforms with limited resources. Creators who often have nothing more than a good idea and the confidence to execute it. Imagine what these individuals could do with resources. That’s how you get 14 Emmy award nominations and a cult fanbase like Issa. That's how you get Mr. Beast and his slew of businesses and products. Give the creators space to create.

Did you know? When Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) first aired in Spain, it was considered a flop. The show had an incredible plot, characters, and production—everything it needed to succeed. But despite this, it struggled to find an audience. Everything changed when Netflix acquired global distribution rights. Suddenly, what was a local disappointment became a worldwide sensation, watched by millions across the globe. The show skyrocketed in popularity and became one of Netflix's most-watched series. The lesson? Even the best product means nothing without the right distribution. You could have the most brilliant idea, service, or content—but if it doesn’t reach the right audience, it’s destined to underperform. Remember: Distribution is as critical as the product itself.

Here’s how Janet Jackson’s nipple is responsible for one of the biggest social media platforms ever. Picture this: It’s February 1st, 2004. The location is Houston, Texas. The event is the Super Bowl 38 halftime show. Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson are this year’s performers. In the middle of the song ‘Rock Your Body’, Timberlake tears off a part of Jackson’s costume, exposing her right breast for a split second. The incident, now referred to as Nipplegate, sent America into a meltdown. 😲 Broadcasters received 540,000 complaints. 😲 Timberlake and Jackson were sued by a Tennessee banker. 😲 The FCC doled out almost $8 million in fines to broadcasters such as CBS and Viacom. 😲 Janet Jackson's songs were blacklisted from being played on MTV and a large number of radio stations, and she was forced to resign from an acting role she had just taken. 140 million people around the world saw this incident happen live. However, three people didn't: Jawed Karim, Steve Chen, and Chad Hurley. They were frustrated that they couldn’t find a video clip of the incident. So they took matters into their own hands and created YouTube. In October 2006, YouTube was bought by Google for $1.65 billion. It’s now worth around $183 billion. All because of an unplanned ‘wardrobe malfunction.’ So, if you want to get more eyes on your products and services, give me a shout. I won’t get my nipple out to help the cause. But if you want to, I’ll happily write about it for you.
