sure, it looks extremely anticompetitive, but have to tip your hat to Facebook having a plan to support header bidding in order to get Google to enter into a favorable agreement with them on [redacted] in exchange for backing away from header bidding and it working
Like google definitely appears to be acting as a monopolist to defend their biz, but Facebook used that to their advantage apparently, which is just well played

Vimeo: "We have 3500 enterprise customers. These are customers who pay us over $20,000 a year.

There's about 1M companies out there that have over $10M of revenue. Every single one of them should be using video and not just externally in their marketing but also internally"
Chart from Piper showing customer counts
"since the pandemic, I do think our view on the size of the market has changed. Particularly on the enterprise side we see a larger TAM, that's just because we see now with much more validation the desire for organizations to be video first in every way that they communicate."

Balanced assessment here of Airbnb by former eDreams co-founder and CMO

medium.com/traveltechmedi…
He makes a point I have in the past, which is while the percentage of direct traffic is nice, at the end of the day, absolute level of traffic arguably matters more. And for now, Booking is far larger.
Performance marketing is a skill, much derided by some, but nonetheless it is a necessary skill for almost all companies. Booking is the best. Airbnb has struggled at it. Perhaps they can survive on direct traffic alone, but that's a risky bet.

urge everyone to reread this masterful piece on Trump and how history will judge his collaborators
"They are scared not of prison, the official said, but of being attacked by Trump on Twitter. They are scared he will make up a nickname for them. They are scared that they will be mocked, or embarrassed, like Mitt Romney has been."

Publicly, on the Q3 call in November they were asked about taking Hulu international and said they’d have more to say after the new year and that “we’re working through the formulation of a strategy in terms of what markets...”
On the Q4 call in Feb 2020, after the Jan Board meeting, Iger said

“We are working up a plan to take Hulu internationally. We actually have a lot of specifics around it”

“We do plan to begin rolling Hulu out, I’d say probably in 2021 internationally”
