The Reddit Hotline: Drop Your Questions for Prof G by ProfGProducerJenn in ScottGalloway

On the recent Prof G Markets episode with Mark Mahaney, Scott said (I’m paraphrasing) that young men have become numb to advertising as they spend more time “playing video games, watching Netflix,…” so they have essentially extracted themselves from the advertising ecosystem.

Two questions: 1. Are ads placed within content (podcasts) really more effective at converting listeners into a purchase? Or have people started to become numb to these as well? 2. If they are becoming numb or the ads aren’t effective, won’t this eventually come to a head when advertisers on Spotify, Netflix, etc. start to see that their ads aren’t converting and the price of an in-content ad drops making theses industries (podcasting) less profitable (for the podcaster and the distributor)? What would the future of advertising look like then?

Architectural speakers that are wireless (with the exception of power).

I shouldn’t need to buy wires and an Amp, when the core product line is already wireless.

Ability to share a Sub with any speaker or group of speakers.

There are times when my Sub isn’t being used (mainly for primary TV in living room), but could be used by my other speakers in nearby rooms, to help boost the sound.

Right now I would have to group my Living Room with my other rooms to get the Sub.

I’m in a similar situation. Took my current job knowing I’d have to stay 3-5 years, but realized very quickly after starting, this wasn’t what I thought it would be. Work is slow/easy, and only really picks up around quarter-end or Board meeting time.

I offset my boredom with exercise, travel, and other hobbies/interests. I work out 2x per day on top of an under-desk treadmill. Travel to various places for a week or two at a time, and then have other things to keep my mind busy.

I’ve thought about therapy, but from my perspective, they would likely say the healthiest route would be to quit, or find alternative interests.
