"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds". Oppenheimer was sufficiently far sighted enough & philosophically balanced to know what he had created. theguardian.com/technology/2… Not necessarily true for all our tech disruptors, some are trying to solve this with Web 3.0

@StatistaCharts say the global influencer marketing market size > X2 since 2019 theguardian.com/world/2021/n… & the Nobel -winning journalist @mariaressa "Social media platforms are biased against facts & creating “a virus of lies” that threatens all democracies" Something wrong?

There is a real conflict happening out there. theguardian.com/world/2021/n… 🙏 @rapplerdotcom & @mariaressa The power of social is undisputed. The challenge is the responsibility who controls it & impact on trust - how it can be manipulated by stakeholders in the attention economy

According to @DeloitteUK CT in Bermuda is 0% that is an incredible stimulus to business case to stimulate £567M share purchase. theguardian.com/business/202… Throw in a bit of SPAC bubble funding.. and you are solid.. But subs is the key pillar. Plenty to take away.

Buzzfeed making a big call on wide reader revenue strategies.. Some serious growth predicted such that almost a third of revenue mix is from readers. Here @FourZeroTwoTech we champion and enable reader revenue strategies for publishers to become financially independent.

The findings from the Reuters Digital News Report 2021 show that trust in news is up. youtu.be/-K17rILYlSs But business models are still challenged.. with focus on reader revenue.

Will the Subprime Attention Crisis change the real value of credible demand generation services? fsgoriginals.com/books/subpr… Absolutely. Best to avoid the classic Steve Carell Big Short moment.

Solving the zero dollars zero cents based business model is a hard one to restructure!!! youtube.com/watch?v=X9dlJ4sH… @timhwang gives a good shot calling it out. Worth a watch.

Ohh yeah @hunterwalk Here @FourZeroTwoTech this is the gig we've been banging on about for years.. the challenges are not just tech (systems) for media folks.. the issues are across the 7s skills, staff, style, shared values, structure, strategy ... but all solvable.

When reading about the extent and power of the G in this world theplatformlaw.blog/2021/03/… With all these interrelated products its like the Hotel California - you can checkin but never leave..

A new book from @timhwang that calls out a pending challenge. Hwang argues that digital advertising, the core business model of the web, is at risk of collapsing and that its potential demise bears an uncanny resemblance to the housing crisis of 2008.

With the EU calling out the Aussie option and the folks at Microsoft going long countering the technologically 'unworkable' approach from the big G and FB. ow.ly/sbTF50DyVQ1 Innovations such as @FourZeroTwoTech will have a place at the table.

"Only fair that they pay back a fair amount." @alexagiussaliba Seems a very reasonable ethos to work from in a world increasingly built on intangibles of content and copyright. @FourZeroTwoTech are innovating their way to solving this challenge with the use of blockchain.

Whilst we take longer to fix our bigtech regulation and market issues the real gamechanger is happening elsewhere. ow.ly/tv5n50Dua5U As an instructive case study just look at the growth of China's solar power players.

It continues to be bumpy down under but change is coming. ow.ly/ePXM50Ds8Iz Sometime back folks thought @FourZeroTwoTech was crazy, still what did Steve J - say about the crazy ones.

Much respect for the founding fathers of the internet but back in the day they did envisage a world where content was paid for. They even set aside a standard error code for the purpose. @FourZeroTwoTech theguardian.com/media/2021/j…

The founding fathers of the Internet did envisage that payment for news and content would have a place in the world. They even set aside an error code for it. The difficulty was back in the day the vision didn't meet the technology. Now that is not the case @FourZeroTwoTech

In the same way @VWGroup and @MercedesBenz transformed the car sector when car safety became a must have in the 60s. German friends @dpa out innovating the rest. inma.org/blogs/reader-revenu… Like World Cups - the Germans win in the end. @FourZeroTwoTech offer this as SaaS
