And he will most likely get it - or at least very close. There is even a chance it could go for more than the $9B. There are few companies out there with the ability to get the eyeballs but not be too expensive for multiple companies to acquire.

It's really baffling how frequently stuff I've already watched shows up on there. Netflix's whole design revolves around obfuscating the size of their catalogue as much as they possibly can. It's why they rotate categories and thumbnails as much as they do. But when I see like 5-10 things on my recommendations that are things I clearly already watched and rated on Netflix or it's stuff that doesn't have a great recommendation percentage, it just makes me think there must not be enough on Netflix for them to recommend to me that I will like.

It really seems deliberate too considering they get worse over time. I used to find Netflix's algorithm to be reliable. I frequently saw things I had previously watched (not on Netflix) and enjoyed and found a few things to watch specifically because they were on there.
Now, though? It's full of things I've watched on Netflix, already have on my watchlist (which shows I intend to watch them), and garbage. For the life of me, I don't understand how Netflix can have a system that rates how likely it is that I'll enjoy something, and then put things rated 50-60% on my recommendations. It's like they're specifically trying to get me to watch things they know I won't like.

It's a long way from his heyday, but that Rhyme Pays > Power > O.G. trio of records is fantastic.

I tried it once and it brought me to a random episode of 'stranger things'

I actually used it and started watching two new shows because of it. They were shows I had heard of but probably wasn't going to try, but they came up on random and the first couple of minutes really pulled me in. But this was many months ago and I hadn't really used the feature since. I forgot that it existed.

right-wing humor is incredibly hard to pull off.

Amazon has gotten better. Paramount Plus is literally unusable at times. At one point it wouldn't let me scroll to reach the newer survivor seasons. Only worked on my phone.

Even "random within a genre" would've been far more useful than what they had. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a specific type of movie, but I don't think I'm ever in a mood of "Oh, I'll watch whatever!" I don't think the feature even differentiated between a television show or movie which was even dumber.
It was just a lazy feature with no thought.

all my life, I’ve watched Seinfeld mostly in random order. I remember watching the finale with my family, I can tell by picture quality/set changes/etc if it’s an early or late season episode. But I have never seen any more than 3 successive episodes in order. Being able to drop in at nearly any point of the show is just part of the allure for me, if that makes sense

Whether she made a sincere apology or not, I didn't make the decision to cancel her show.

WWE’s market cap is 6.5 billion right now. The company is worth more than 10x what it was during the attitude era. Their reach is massive now. 9 billion is a little high but I’d bet 8.5 is around the price that makes sense given a normal buyout premium.

If it were a "randomize episode of a single show" button for something like Seinfeld I would be all-in.

Murdoch doesn’t have a large Disney holding. Outside of the institutions which now have the biggest positions in Disney, the largest individual shareholders are now Iger, the CFO and board members.
