Media People

from People vs Algorithms · host Troy Young, Brian Morrissey, Alex Schleifer, and Blake Saunders

We argue that true media people are troublemakers with taste. They’re people who understand narrative, tension, and how to make others feel something. Michael Wolff and Olivia Nuzzi are Media People. Scott Galloway and Silicon Valley People are not Media People. The media industry has been downsized in the Information Space, with media personalities rewarded more than Media People. Media People will endure.* Watch us on YouTube* Troy Young’s People vs Algorithms newsletter* Brian Morrissey’s The Rebooting newsletter* Alex Schleifer’s Human Computer* Follow Alex, Brian and Troy on TwitterChapters:* 00:00 Open* 00:44 Welcome* 06:42 Job Displacement Tsunami* 16:10 The Problem With Men* 27:57 Media People* 56:14 Netflix Immersive Experience* 01:00:49 Justin Bieber A Twitch Streamer* 01:03:13 Good Product* 01:08:27 Outro This is a public episode.
