The media industry, like politics, has been stuck in a scarcity mindset—managing decline instead of building for the future.

Plus, TheSkimm exits to Ziff Davis, the rise of AI-driven advertising, and Anonymous Banker joins to explain why second-tier comedians might be the next big media arbitrage opportunity.
