Quiz time: What do Netflix, Google, Facebook, Uber and Airbnb all have in common?
Wait! Before you answer, let’s make it more complicated — and what does the success of those companies mean for the future of TV?
Ah. Harder now, right?
Here, we’ll let you cheat: Ben Thompson will explain everything to you in a 15-minute presentation he unveiled at Code Media last week. And if you want more after that, we can oblige: I chatted with Thompson about his ideas and his business, and then the audience chimed in as well. And it’s all on one video.
Normally, if you want to get inside Thompson’s big brain you need to pay him for access to Stratechery, his very successful one-man publishing business. That’s why we were delighted to get him on our stage last week — he doesn’t do many of these.
And now you can see the whole thing here. Enjoy.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
