The NYT and WSJ — the two major destination news publishers with stable, profitable business models — are going to have even more insane moats as social/search traffic enters its final death spiral.
Reddit call was absolutely fascinating. Everyone should listen to it as a bellwether for where the internet is going
- AI Mode is increasingly default Google experience
- AI Mode provides rich info and data in line, less incentive to leave search
- AI Mose incentivizes dialog, Google wants to keep you engaged to serve more ads at each turn
- Google will milk search for as much revenue as possible as they transition from a search company to a cloud service and chip company
- As traffic from humans becomes more scarce this will put Google in an increasingly adversarial position to the rest of the internet
- This is a massive headwind to all media type companies who are not destinations
- This is a massive headwind to all content-driven go-to-market motions especially in the SMB. You have seen companies like HubSpot and Monday.com get crushed by this funnel collapse
We are entering the end game - a knife fight for the remaining and dwindling volume of human traffic on the internet

NEW: Pope Leo XIV is set to become the first sitting pontiff in the Catholic Church’s two-thousand-year history to vote in a secular election.
Leo requested an Illinois mail ballot on Oct. 3, and it was sent to his brother John’s home in New Lenox, Ill.
John Prevost visited the pope at the Vatican on Wednesday and may now be carrying the ballot back to the Will County clerk by hand. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope…

Oakland County has been trending away from Republicans in the Trump era.
Two cities there that have generally stayed with the GOP might be the ones to watch in Michigan this fall.

Will I regret going from an iPhone 15 PM to a Duo in terms of camera quality? Context: taking a lot of baby photos these days.
I don’t think Rogers ends up getting 33% of the African American vote and I still think Dems take the Senate.
But Rogers getting anything above, say, ~15% would be alarming.
The transformation of Grand Rapids from the land of Romney Republicans to a progressive block rivaling Ann Arbor is fascinating.
When I first saw Lon posting about this I thought it was a fake account.
Wild to spend your October campaigning against a Dem senate candidate.
