It looks like Skydance thought that getting the non-voting class B Paramount shareholders on board would put pressure on the voting ones.
But it seems like Redstone was sensitive to the minority group of voting shareholders and that they were not on side. That is, it wasn’t enough to have the Redstones as the majority holders of class A NAI shares, and the majority of non-voting class B Paramount shareholders, Shari Redstone felt she had to have sufficient support from the minority of voting NAI shareholders to avoid problems such as accusations of imposing losses on a group.
“According to a source familiar with the talks, Redstone’s request for a “majority of the minority” vote, in which other Class A shareholders could vote to approve or nix the deal, was a nonstarter for Skydance, and the studio was anticipating a regulatory review of more than a year, which gave Redstone pause given the constraints it would have required of the business in the meantime.”
Most people don’t like a paragraph worth of information being stretched out into a 14 minute video. Luckily someone already provided the info in another comment.
Death of attention span is real but not wanting to listen to ten minutes of bullshit waffle, please like and subscribe, for two minutes of information is not it.
That could be someone’s creative output. Hell, that could be the paycheck someone’s eating off of-- and you and others like you out here “can it be condensed? I rly don’t wanna hear it”. If it’s not death of attention span, then it’s atomized, anti-social fuckshit; so either way this ain’t the defense strat you think it is
Ok? We’re not obligated to watch stuff just because it’s someone’s creative output. We don’t owe this person a paycheck through YouTube ads. Everyone’s got the right to have the necessities of life but that’s got nothing to do with this. Different people have different interests, and someone who’s really into this subject or this creator might want to watch the whole thing, but not everyone has to.
It’s the principle of the thing. You clearly have the free-time, otherwise you wouldn’t be here. You clearly have the interest, otherwise you wouldn’t be in this thread. And yet, you demand an abridging of someone’s creative output to suit your entitlement. Tfu.
If you only have the time to demand abridgings of people’s work, maybe you shouldn’t be on this site. I’m sure twitter or reddit would be more your speed.
Still not a defense for demanding abridgings to suit one’s entitlement. If I think something is sensationalized or clickbait, I move the fuck on without demanding somebody else play stenographer for me.
Basically they weren’t originally planning on taking a photo of earth from the moon. The fact that they even had a camera was due to interest from a few astronauts in the earlier missions. The camera had its viewfinder stripped to save weight, so the astronauts couldnt see what they were filming. On that mission they were only planning to take photos of the moon’s surface. And then they decided in the moment as the earthrise happened, that it needed to be photographed, and out of tons of shots they only got one clear image.
Maybe a little clickbaity but “It’s highly imporbable that they got this shot” doesn’t ring the same
Hey OP, thanks a lot for making this post! I appreciate you giving me an outlet for my mental illness the opportunity to let you, and any other users here, know that I actually really prefer graphic novels.
OP, would you kindly consider adapting the information presented in this video into a graphic novel (in color, of course) so I can consume the infoyou found interesting in my preferred format? Also, one of my cousins is deaf , so could you make a copy of the graphic novel in sign language, too?
I hope it’s as interesting as I imagine. I haven’t clicked on it yet since I don’t want to spoil anything in the graphic novel adaptation
Sorry. Just having fun. Some people on this site are legit interesting characters, to put it nicely
Could someone please adapt this video into a full-length stage musical? That’s the only type of content I consume so it’s only reasonable for someone to do this for me.
One useful function for AI would be to watch YouTube videos and extract any useful information into concise paragraphs. I am looking to be informed, not entertained.
I am saying I am not watching the video. I would prefer a tight paragraph or two about whatever the videographer thinks are the extraordinary circumstances.
I know what you are saying, and I fully support you in your mission to consume content faster, it’s just got nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
Not sure if you’re mostly joking but TT has tons of long-form content as well. It’s one of the main reasons I don’t use it - all my recommendations are super interesting 7+ min videos (I think I get too anxious to open the app knowing it’s going to open up to some super in-depth breakdown on a very specific topic. It’s insane how good their algorithm is. It practically never misses
While I’m still burning that SNW introduced the first main cast person with disability and killed them off just to lean on the crutch of development-by-death-of-mentor for Uhura, I’m super happy that Bruce Horak is now being regularly cast in guest star and recurring television roles in Canada.
It’s a long way from a Star Trek stint being a career-limiting choice as it was viewed in the past.
I strongly suspect all solutions will either be invalid, or be limited to the speed of light.
The universe seems to have a lot of weird quirks (the speed of light being 1) what they have in common is that they make time paradoxes impossible. This points to some deeper physics causing these disparate effects. Anything travelling faster than C can be configured as a time machine, and so create paradoxes.
It’s disappointing in its limitations, yes, but another step in bringing warp-driven travel into a more mainstream conversation and line of theoretical research in physics.
As with Albucierre’s proof, theoretical research always starts with the corner solutions and odd cases to reduce the variables.
Well, now I know who was the executive on the org chart responsible for all of Viacom and more recently Paramount Global’s stunningly awful corporate strategic communications.
There have been a lot of senior or management changes one tier down since the merger, but perhaps what was really needed was for Baklish and his top VPs to exit.
Yeah, it’s hard to speak in defense of their comms over the past few years.
I’ve never had an overly bad impression of Bakish, though - at the very least, he didn’t make a total ass of himself during the strikes, and seems better than, say, Zaslav over at Warner.
But as always, there are no true “good guys” at this level.
All I can muster to care about is story is the thought that my personal data, collected via their mobile app, might be changing companies on a thumb drive, at the same time.
