TWIT 1038: Wu Wei Meets Wu Tang

Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…

What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!

I wanted this episode to be named “Pushing F1 is key” even though only “Pushing F1” was said, because it’s a fun double entendre.

Really good discussion on creators and how they are valued.

I can’t speak for all people, but it’s important to remember that US median household income is $80,610. That’s generally a two-income household. When you factor in mortgages, food and utilities, and the other things (school fees, sports, medical issues, etc) - that leaves little money left for things like entertainment, of which music is very much a part. Look at the rising cost of subscription services.

I’ve cut back on a lot of subscriptions, including things like Club TWIT, Patreon, and even crowdfunded projects because I no longer have the discretionary income I once had.

It’s not that I don’t value music - it’s that I can’t afford the monetary outlay to support it.

Yeah. It be like that sometimes. Folks gotta cut back where they can, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t supportive or rooting for the creators they once supported with their own earned money. Respect. :right_facing_fist:t6:

I saw the Netsuite ad and it reminded me of an ad playing in Japanese cabs that I was a (small) part of.

Did he say “CREATE AND DOMINATE” in Japanese? I would be so happy to see Ant at the wheel, myself!
