a16z launching a TBPN competitor whose biggest opening day guest is balaji reading his own tweets suggests a16z is a stupid about media as it has ever been

@reckless.bsky.social on the last Vergecast.

They understand the joke?

I’d love this but I’d have to pay at such low rates for this work to be worth it that I don’t think anyone would be happy about it. Spending the money to fix old stories doesn’t also mean they make that money back, after all

I do think it’s more complicated than that - I always ask the structure and decision questions because any good org needs that stuff to be thoughtful and clear from the top. Some of the best answers have come from execs I otherwise totally disagreed with!

Nilay vs Media Training has to be a game you can win for anyone to want to play! The thing is that it is also a game you can lose

The FCC just saved Netgear from its router ban for no obvious reason How did Netgear do it? Nobody’s saying.

Nilay Patel does actual journalism with this episode and it makes the Puck CEO jittery and passive-aggressive. This is the kind of journalism we need about the changing media landscape. Nice work, @theverge.com @reckless.bsky.social
