- Yes, @whoisaddison is a TikToker. But she's got even bigger Hollywood ambitions that started long before the app even existed. My profile for the #THRNextGen issue
- I chatted with Disney's Kevin Mayer about the Fox deal and the Disney+ streaming service. Some takeaways: Those Marvel shows that Netflix canceled? There's a "possibility" that Disney+ could revive them. Taking Hulu international? "We're talking to Hulu about that now."Disney's top dealmaker Kevin Mayer on the industry-rattling Fox purchase and a new streaming service thr.cm/P2UuKv
- Replying to @natjarvNetflix is changing its viewership reporting metrics from 70% of an episode/film to "at least 2 minutes — long enough to indicate the choice was intentional." This also conveniently will probably make viewership seem higher in most cases

- Replying to @natjarvNetflix says its subscriber miss occurred across all regions, but slightly more in areas where its price increase went into effect. The company says competition wasn't a factor. Instead, its original programming failed to drive growth.
- Little Wednesday morning scoop: Another top streamer is leaving Twitch for YouTube. @timthetatman tells me that YouTube is "hungry" and that he was attracted to how the team there works with gamers to make their platform better.
- Hi, some news...This spring, I got laid off from a job I really enjoyed at Vanity Fair while I was 8 months pregnant. After taking time with my family this summer, I'm starting to think about what's next. Please keep me in mind for freelance & full-time journalism opportunities.
