Paycheck to Paycheck

Probably the earliest start to writing this week's edition of the newsletter, currently writing this opening for you on Sunday the 22nd. Thought it would be great to get some extra info if I could or some things that I miss throughout the weekend that may be helpful for you!

Or I just want to be able to click a few buttons on Tuesday to post this and not have to write it that day.

Well as crazy as it is, we are almost into February and I have to say, this year feels like it's going to be a great year. So with that said, let's not waste any more of your Jan.

Short Topics Of The Week

Bad Content = Jail Time?

UK Law Makers are heavily considering a bill called the Online Safety Bill that would help the UK govern the digital space within its borders. The bill includes:

• A requirement for social media firms to remove illegal content, enforce community guidelines, and shield children from online ills like porn or content involving self-harm.
• Hefty fines for noncompliance of up to 10% of a company’s annual revenue.

That would be absolutely crazy imo. I would love to make a bill that takes 10% of Facebook's revenue, like sign me up for that, as long as it goes to the bank of Taylor.

Podcasts No More

Spotify made the hefty move into podcasts not too long ago. Investing millions on millions into shows that they wanted to come onto the platform exclusively. Except recently they have not seen the same uptick that they were seeing in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Some shows that they brought onto the platform decreased listenership by 75% once they landed exclusively on the platform.

Paycheck to Paycheck

More and more people in their twenties are talking about how they are living paycheck to paycheck and having to pay for student loans, others bills, and or just trying to save an emergency fund. A lot of this is due to high housing costs, food costs, and more. Most people over 60 have been saying that 20-something-year-olds should "suck it up" as they had to buy homes for $5,000 in their day.
