☆ Monsters walk among us — and they're watching Netflix at 1.5x speed.

But for some people, this is the dream: They're watching Netflix at 1.5x speed. What craven need for speed goes on in the dopamine-wrecked frontal cortex of someone who watches stuff at super speed? Netflix's "Love Is Blind" was mentioned several times as an example of something great to speed watch. Our modern, insatiable appetite for video content might mean that we've adapted and stretched our brains to watch faster and faster. As much as I'd like to accuse these speed watchers of being monsters, I have to consider my own preferred method of watching movies: at regular speed, on the big TV — but looking at my phone the entire time.

And I'm very confident — based on my non-scientific poll of my teenage sons, who inhale YouTube — that those numbers are way, way bigger for young people. But what was most interesting about the election was the way the Trump campaign spent the summer embracing YouTube personalities. Edison Research says YouTube — including both regular, free YouTube and YouTube's paid YouTube Music service — is the most popular way for people to listen to (or watch) podcasts. And, unlike platforms like Instagram and TikTok — podcasters can get a meaningful share of the advertising revenue generated by their YouTube audiences. We should think about it as a podcast plus a YouTube election," he says.

Rudy Giuliani (C) arrives at the New York court following a judge's order compelling his appearance in the defamation case filed by Georgia election workers in New York, United States on November 07, 2024. "All the property must be turned over to the receiver and if not, I will hold him in contempt," the judge told Caruso, whose client was by turns angry, animated and frustrated during the proceeding. "The vast majority of physical property, we have no idea where it is," Nathan said at Thursday's hearing. Nathan alleged that Giuliani has opened secret bank accounts and created limited liability companies on the heels of the defamation verdict last year. Before he entered court Thursday, Giuliani fumed over a judge's order that he show up in person saying it is "like a political persecution."
