The New Gatekeepers
summary
Overview of concrete shifts: ad revenue and hiring slow after a low‑rate boom, with Meta cutting 11,000 roles and Amazon building an ad business that does about $36B in annual ad revenue. E‑commerce growth reverts toward pre‑pandemic trend while Shopify handles roughly $175B GMV and Shein outgrows Zara/H&M by search and sales. Roku becomes an ad platform, Netflix/Disney subscriber mixes change, crypto and NFT markets suffer visible crashes, and generative AI shows real product potential on a ~10‑year adoption horizon.
