Casey Charvet: I like to use the term specialty content. I think, once upon a time, I might ve called it niche content, but I think that s a little bit pejorative. Calling it specialty content is identifies that there is actually a pretty broad distribution of interests in content that people are looking for. And that content can now have a place and be successful. Whereas before, as producers, we could only really take the very top of the bell curve and spend the money on it because it was a large investment and capital expense and barrier to entry and all that. And now, with that barrier removed and the power of the tools that are available, if you re into backyard archery, you can set up your phone and archery target and make a YouTube video on it and probably get people to watch it. So I think we re going to see a continued explosion of content, even if the audience scales are smalle

George Herbert: What if I said there was a better way to get rid of the last barrier that videoconferencing gives us limited control over the quality of video and audio that we have? I think there is a better way, and this is exactly what we ve been doing here at Epiphan for our own internal content creation for just about a year.

CJ Harvey: We have a massive catalog. It is the entirety of Warner Brothers and HBO and TNT and TBS and so much more beyond that. We are fortunate to have a lot of headlines, like Wonder Woman and The Little Things that people come for, but then the question becomes, how do we get you engaged in something else? There s end cards and there s heroes and there s editorial carousels galore. But if you approach it with a one-size-fits-all model, you re only gonna fit some vast subset of your audience. So really looking at the signals that we can grab in-app, not even just what a single individual has watched, but thinking about collaborative filtering, what other people in the platform are watching how do we find similarities and lookalikes between your profile and others?

Jonathan Hurd: Tony, you had brought up earlier that you try to take a non-partisan approach to the news, but clearly we re in an environment where there s extremism in media and different news outlets trying to appeal to segments that might be at polar opposites of beliefs.

Tim Siglin: This slide shows our data on moving infrastructure to the cloud. We asked it in two separate questions: Essentially, if you re thinking about moving to the cloud or have moved to the cloud, what s the timeframe for live streaming, and what s the timeframe for on-demand? As you can see, we have a fairly significant number of people who say they ve already moved, and then we have another group of people who say they are planning to move. Let me speak to that one briefly. Again, this is raw analysis. What we find in this slide, in the initial analysis is there are particular groups, whether they re not-for-profits who have commented that they re too small, or if they re government organizations who feel like their content is for internal use, as opposed to external use. So there are reasons that companies
