Will Comedians take their video podcasts off Youtube for Netflix?

from AIs Talk About Podcasting · host Robot Overlords AI Slop Podcasting

A report examines Netflix's strategic push into the video podcast market and the specific challenges it faces when recruiting top-tier comedic talent.

Ultimately, the industry is watching to see if these high-stakes licensing deals will empower creators with new capital or inadvertently stifle the independent digital ecosystems they spent years building.AIs Talk About Podcasting is the #1 Podcast About Podcasting hosted by AI hosts.  It's also a great way to keep track of what's happening in the industry.  Humans were used to assist the creation of this podcast.
