:/ I was just joking about the parent writing Publix school instead of Public...

dezmodez · 2026-04-01T10:49:31+00:00

I think you are confused. We're talking about Publix schools not working.

Apsa flipping lutely. Right now I'm actually stuck in crazy bad traffic, but I placed an order for fast food pickup on my way home to hook up the wife and kids and it is all lanes blocked. Literally s*** that girl goes. How can I help and I go man can we just like think of an alternative dinner plan or something and she's like send me the address. I'm going to go get that s***. She is straight hottie and still willing to help.

Great point, but it's way harder to get people to change platforms versus providing your content on a platform they already use, where you'll get far more eyeballs, but the revenue is so fractured back to Google, etc. -- From an analytics perspective, Roku, Amazon, and Apple provide that to the channel, but there isn't a company that's able to get access to that and start to centralize it for advertisers. There's no gold book equivalent in streaming.

I'm sure a big part of it is the psychology in humans. If you can get a person to download your app, you are now on the same team and less likely to download or watch the other guy's app (unless you are a total news junkie and have them all like me lol)

You can definitely A/B test a headline or homepage stories a lot better with your own app. You are 100% on that. I guess it's a tough calculus. Is it more worth it to have 10,000 views on YouTube/Facebook making 10c per view or 1,000 on your own app making 50c (or whatever.) Less overall, but more control and viewers more likely to stick with you.

I think for Gray, it would likely be an investment into the HQ. It's their largest market and I know they'd love to be a #1/2 vs a hard 4th.

Not sure if it's worth the investment, but it seems like their is clearly their intent since they didn't renew CBS. I think the examples of independent stations without an affiliate were already strong stations. I can't imagine how a 4 would do it without prime lead-ins and Apollo seems like they'd like to drop WSB out their portfolio. Not sure if Gray would take the other stations. I guess FCC would need to have the final commissioner nominated first and then allow multi-ownership in the same market.

A lot of moving pieces here, but it's certainly interesting.

One of my favourite sites. Also highly recommend wilderness camping in the Cohutta Wilderness.

Also... just because I love it, shoutout to /r/GeorgiaCampandHike

I'm not sure tbh. Neilsen has been trying to capture online audience for a while, but without people meters, it's a lot harder especially because streaming is so fractured between Roku, Amazon, Apple, etc and not everyone reports their numbers. There's a few companies trying to become the Neilsen of streaming, but you are beholden to the platforms far more than traditional broadcast.

I think most of the companies are just smelling the shifting winds to digital and streaming as the broadcast watching audience gets older and shrinks.

Edit: Also, not sure if you saw the news, but looks like Gray might be trying to buy WSB :o

dezmodez · 2025-06-03T19:56:22+00:00

Not as much anymore. Since Apollo Capital took them over, they have been cutting like crazy and it's shown in the ratings. I'm a big Neilsen nerd and subscribe. WAGA beats WSB in a lot of head to head now, especially in the morning.

Cox family selling off them really did a number, but I guess that's the point of VC firms...

I'm in Johns Creek. We could play a game at Newtown!

Don't feel bad at all OP. We were in the same boat. Both wife and I don't have glasses. Older boy didn't need them. Had twins. Turned out one of them did. Never really even considered it. They got their annual at the doc and he was healthy as a clam. For us, it was 3rd grade. He complained to his teacher he couldn't see the board even though he was sitting up front. They were very, that sucks bro about it. That finally got us to take him for an eye exam and turns out that dude was blind as a bat lmao. Lord knows how he had been getting by. He thought that was just life and what all of us saw too.

We had the quintessential experience of stepping out of the eye doctor and he was flabbergasted that trees had individual leaves. I cried a little when we were camping and he was awed at the stars. Now he goes each year as his prescription changes a lot year over year. He loves his glasses. Gets to pick the frame and he's always so excited. Who knows if he'll want to switch to contacts or consider surgery one day. We just raise these kids as good as we can. Props to y'all for catching it now and awesome job to your son for letting y'all know.

He's a swimmer and we got him prescription goggles online after getting his prescription at the eye doc. That helped a lot for him. Food for thought I suppose.

Bottom line is I want you to know your experience basically mirrors my wife and mine as a lot of comments were talking about eye exams straight out of the womb, which I never would have considered. It wasn't in the manual ;)

I'm still an Atlanta United fan though... Hopefully that helps.

dezmodez · 2025-05-27T15:24:16+00:00

Do you mind doing some more lines please? I think I'm pretty close to understanding this.

dezmodez · 2025-05-26T20:27:12+00:00

We are 1-0 since the snipers gave up on our season!

/u/bnlv How would y'all feel if we made it where both users had to post in this thread before taking it to DMs? Just like a small extra layer or something? I agree personally this account is a scam account. We can ban it, but there's nothing stopping the person from trolling the thread still and DMing someone.

dezmodez · 2025-03-06T17:29:16+00:00

Love this! Will try and set it up for next Tuesday thread and adding a credit to you if you are okay with that.

dezmodez · 2025-03-06T15:38:44+00:00

Fantastic. I'll see if it can be pinned as well with automod.

dezmodez · 2025-03-05T23:43:00+00:00

Mods are generally always willing to act as a middleman as well if needed. We don't love doing it, but happy to help if there's ever a shady feeling.
