"Hi. There sure are a lot of media layoffs happening! Let's look at how and why that happened and what we can do to make sure quality journalism doesn't get phased out like National Geographic and Sports Illustrated."

I almost immediately nope'd out of this episode when I saw that it was going to be yet another one that involved Warmbo (which the video's own captions repeatedly misspelled as "Worm Bow"), but I decided to stick it out, regardless.

The basic gist (or, at least, my own personal interpretation of the basic gist): advertising, marketing, capitalism, and just, like, the greedy pursuit of unsustainable and ever increasing amounts of money is deathly poison to journalismthe Internetthe world as a whole, in general. Also, I typed that previous sentence when I was literally only maybe two minutes into watching the video. Now that I have actually finished watching the whole video, I see absolutely no need to go back and change that prior sentence in any way, because that pretty much was the actual gist of the video. It was, pretty much, a fifty-five minutes and twenty-eight seconds long restatement of the phrase "the love of money is the root of all evil."

Also, all that shit makes this seem like an even more impossible task than I already imagined it to be.

(Really, though, whoever did the captions for this particular episode did a rather piss poor job of it. Did they, perhaps, use an "AI chatbot" to write them or something? Oh well, tangentially speaking, at least Worm BowWarmbo didn't play much of a role in this ep. The fact that he played any role at all wasn't great, but it could've been far, far worse, I suppose.)
