Should CEOs Produce Their Own NYT Video Op-Eds?
Generally, no. But just occasionally, you might get a good one.

Should CEOs Produce Their Own NYT Video Op-Eds?

The New York Times’ choice to publish a video op-ed by the CEO of Patreon points at why exec-produced video op-eds might be a bad idea.

In the #DeadWax #music show #JackConte played a track segment from #TheVernonSpring and I was like:
"What is that!?"🤯

Immediately looked up The Vernon Spring on #Bandcamp, and his unique sound is there labelled as #electronic #jazz with #solo #piano 🎹, however I think those tags don't do it justice at all. 😠

Therefore I would like to suggest the better description (and perhaps new genre):
#GlitchJazz
since it reminds me of the #GlitchMusic by #Glitch Princess #yeule. 😁

I think #JackConte does a fantastic job talking about how painful it is for creative people to watch something like an #OKGo video, because there is literally nothing stopping us from doing most of these things ourselves, and we would merely need to have the idea and follow through on it.

Episode two hundred and seventy-five is up now! Today's song is Warning by Incubus.

Das Ende der Follower und die Zukunft der Kreativität des Webs

Der Gründer von #patreon #jackconte zeigt in diesem Video die Entwicklung des Internets und auch wie das Internet 2.0 eine riesige Chance für neue Künstler und Unternehmen schaffte.
