I love this guy but I'm sorry but I 101% disagree with this take, this take is absolutely so horrible ๐Ÿ˜… This is truly a superficial take that people do for the New Team NInja " Soulslikes " Games. The combat in those games is absolutely not pure number loot slop. It can be if someone wants to play them as Diablo-likes yes BUT if someone wants to enjoy a super deep and complex combat, there is absolutely no need to care about numbers and RPG stuff. Someone can simply just focus on the pure combat aspect of the game, as long has he has enough mastery in order to be able to do it. And that's why I love and enjoy SO MUCH Nioh, Wo Long and Stranger of Peak ๐Ÿ”ฅ And speaking of harder difficulties of the game, bosses do NEW ATTACKS and they have a different AI on EVERY SINGLE different difficulty. This video was recorded in the hardest difficulty of the game, Lufenia Difficulty. And there is no pure number loot slop in this, only Peak Combat ๐Ÿ˜Œ Stranker of Peak Final Fantasy Origin - Gilgamesh - No Damage - Lufenia Difficulty ๐Ÿฅท

๐Ÿšจ Asmongold explains why Twitch is shrinking and will fall off as a streaming platform, as Youtube, Kick and Rumble have become better alternatives. "The peak viewership is going down. The amount of streamers , and people making new accounts is also going down." "The other platforms have eaten into Twitch's market share. Twitch is still the largest, but whenever you look at everything put together.. Twitch's market is shrinking and the reason is, there are other platforms that deliver a better product." "Why would someone want to go to Twitch and sit through 3 minutes of ads. The culture on Twitch and the way Twitch is designed is to make bad content."

๐ŸŽ‰ Congrats to Team Ninja, PlatinumGames, and Microsoft for the launch of Ninja Gaiden 4!

Kai Cenat blows past the world record for most Twitch subscribers and hits 1,000,000 subs 27 days into his 30 day marathon. The new wave of creators, Kai, Speed, Ibai, AMP and others have taken livestreaming to the next level. They create moments that truly have to be experienced while they're happening. You can't watch the VOD on Youtube and get it. You have to be part of it right then. Kai leverages the "I was here" feeling better than anyone has ever done on live. Kai, AMP, and his team are pushing the medium of livestreaming. The last 30 days he's had marching bands, Ninja Warrior courses, Linkin Park playing in his bedroom, celebrity collaborations, helicopter rides, just insane unimaginable production quality that prepared VOD can't do much less a fully live environment. There's a ton of people chanting for this guy's downfall, but the market always rewards quality if you push past the haters. Media history made tonight. Kai is a true pioneer of the livestreaming medium.

About a month ago, a clip of mine went viralโฝยนโพ talking about the Current State of Twitch (3rd thumbnail in this tweet). It resonated w/ people outside my community, so lemme elaborate (as a 10yr+ Twitch Veteran). Current State of Twitch isn't great and haven't been for a while. I've been passionate about Twitch since inception (I joined in April 2011 in the JTV days, a few months before Twitch debuted in July 2011), and been trying to instill positive change but I'm only a cog in the machine compared to where influence can impact โ€” likely via Amazon-appointed Executives to help "oversee things" at decade-old-acquisition-that-has-still-generated-zero-profit Twitchโฝยฒโพ. ------------------------------------------------ Twitch's Muddled Identity ------------------------------------------------ Describing Twitch 10 years ago was easy: "Youtube, except always live, for gamers". Now, it's more muddled & fluid, at best: "Always live broadcasters who aim to connect with their viewers and foster communities(?)" โ€” that, in itself, isn't problematic; but how it's accomplished, what methods are most effective, and how certain directories accumulate higher viewership is, I think (I may elaborate further on that in a future tweet). The most common reactive bark I've heard following TwitchCon 2025 is "Ban Politics" or "Make it Gaming-Only Again!" โ€” People forget, but Pokemon GO (June 2016) going worldwide-viral was the crack-in-the-dam that lead to IRL as a directory because of the impracticality of continuing Twitch's "games-only" era as the site was increasing in popularity, reach, and cultural significance. IRL was a band-aid solution for the core function of Directoriesโฝยณโพ (which was to let would-be-browsers make better-informed decisions on what to watch based on their interest). It's too broad and encompassing, which led to an unintended dopamine-producingโฝโดโพ psuedo-ChatRoulette where you "never know what you're gonna see" browsing there. Without a better tool to migrate users or aggregate topical content, this problem exacerbated continuously. Just Chatting was supposed to be the solution, as it came with 11-12 other directoriesโฝโตโพ to attemptedly split the IRL monolith, but failed to inspire Social Behavioral Change tremendously. Just Chatting is more popular than ever, discoverability โ€” like in the broad, functional sense โ€” is busted cuz every genre of content stuffed within it and fails to disincentivize streamers from opting-out of the most popular directory. So, how do you stand-out in the overcrowded field where a fuckton of the viewership goes for a Roulette Pull on something entertaining to watch? ... ------------------------------------------------ The Era of Clout-Farming Content (and the fact it works, ugh) ------------------------------------------------ Once IRL directory came in Sept 2016, so did the meta of skirting the ToS (Terms of Service) to maximize views or push the limits of what was tolerated on Twitch. Fundamentally, the social dynamic of receiving a suspension (everyone generally refers to them colloquially as "bans") earns notoriety and "free vacation/marketing", that when coinciding with a comeback event, open the possibility of a net-positive from the boost in viewership or metrics. This isn't as relevant now because the ToS Enforcement has gotten significant buffs to be more transparent and structural in the last half-decade. I can't speak on the nuance of this now, but "Full-Time IRL Streamers" and "Sweaty IRL Affiliates" were unbearable at TwitchCons until TC Policy cracked down on requiring consent by those they bumrush'd into (while live of course), so I assume they're probably equally as intrusive everywhere else ... then Kick came along in 2022 and dominated the headlines for mischief within this realm, for the most part; but that's a different topic altogether. The burden of an authentic collab can be too much friction, slow moving โ€” and honestly, too much work for a streamer to do โ€” compared to the efficacy of blowing up Streamer x Streamer Conflict via self-commentary-reacts for sensationalism and maximizing parasocial viewers' worst tendencies. Effectively, ragebaiting. I'm not advocating to abolish this as a policy. I'm pointing out how this is a very effective way to garner views within the social constructs โ€” and it shouldn't be, nor always was. Something changed at some point. I don't wanna bore you with a timeline of the last decade of controversy on Twitch, so I'll fast-forward to when I definitively see evidence that Clout-Culture is failing upward: In March 2025, the unbanning of Adin Rossโฝโถโพ (on Twitch) I saw as a huge moral failure that reeks of desperation for his views/clout/relevance at the direct expense of the integrity of Twitch Culture. Not sure if that was a Clancy-specific decision or what, but it encompasses "neo-Twitch" or a disconnect if there ever was one. ------------------------------------------------ Twitch Culture is diluting at the expense of recouping revenue ------------------------------------------------ A decade ago, Twitch Plays Pokemon broke news across insular-livestreaming gossip and was celebrated as a pinnacle of internet fandomโฝโทโพ (Feb 2014). This event was a testament to the value of Twitch because it reinforced the undeniable power of CULTURE present in Twitch Chats. I don't think the event could've worked on a YouTube Livestream (remember YouTube Gaming, introduced in 2015?). There's a certain aura present in Twitch Chat that makes it feel captivating to interact and engage with compared to a YouTube Live Chat Box. One feels like a close relative of bot-spam'd yt comments and the other feels ... real. I think that value is the culture โ€” what could keep Twitch afloat for a long time, even if YouTube were to hypothetically obsolete Twitch in every way for delivering live broadcasted video content. I've noticed that as the meta has shifted towards revenue-maxxx'ing with the proliferation of Spectacle Events, typically marathons, that are engineered to paywall as many things as possible, at the expense of the content. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but the culture has shifted. I also do think most of the marathon content isn't good; they're carried by being experiences with strong FOMO-factors to compel your participation by viewing. I do suspect there's a saturation point where the combination of the waning niches of livestreaming, 4th-wall-breaking, and manufactured spectacles can keep an audience seduced. Like, the content (in aspects) has less substance and I wonder what that means for the welfare of Twitch Culture and its content in another 5 years. Perhaps Twitch could foresee this and become proactive on the manner?... ------------------------------------------------ Twitch's Conduct & Repetitive Incompetence ------------------------------------------------ Twitch has prioritized generating revenue over addressing the needs of the already-active users for years. Emmett Shear (previous CEO; 2011-2023) probably was a huge reason for sluggish changes overall to the platform as from what I hear but I can't say for certain. Regardless, we got Dan Clancy as CEO and, while there has been lots of positive changes under his reign, it really does feel like "too little, too late" with the pressure looming from Amazon's 2015 acquisition; increased competition and marketshare decline; and declining revenues, active users & monthly streamers"โฝโธโพ. Here's a brief timeline of features implemented that I feel helped build the culture. Before COVID, I believe the biggest obstacle was helping migrate streamers from being part-time to capable full-time content creators. So, at the time, revenue-generating products were revolutionary to help there, including me at that time: โœ… 2016 โ€” Bits/Cheers & Prime Subs (!!!) โœ… 2017 โ€” Gift Subs (to a specific user) โœ… 2018 โ€” Gift Subs (to randos in Community); Super Subs & Ultra Subs โœ… 2018 โ€” Twitch Mobile App v2 (original mobile app was a constantly broken mess) โœ… 2018 โ€” Twitch Prime no longer adblocks (I will agree how they did it was stupid, but ultimately, it was a necessary; I can defend this in the replies if needed) Comparatively, here's the hostile changes that came at the expense of the Twitch Populous supporting said-change: โŒ 2017 โ€” Communitiesโฝโนโพ (DOA cuz it wasn't streamlined enough and vulnerable to Popularity Bias; I can elaborate in replies if needed) โŒ 2018 โ€” Tags for Channels (DOA cuz anyone can use any tag, diluting the effort of broad categorization or filtering in any capacity) โŒ 2022 โ€” Twitch kills Hostingโฝยนโฐโพ (also new "craptacular" Offline Page w/ Suggested Channels idea instead) โŒ 2024 โ€” Twitch Mobile App v3โฝยนยนโพ (Tiktok clone dogshit) โŒ 2024 โ€” Stories (who asked for this?) โŒ 2025 โ€” 100hr Video Storage Limit (going back against Collections & cementing Twitch isn't an evergreen platform; also SHORT NOTICE) โŒ2025 โ€” Live Rewind ... paywall'd to Twitch Turbo & Channel Subscribers only (this is free sitewide on yt's livestreams)โฝยนยฒโพ โŒ 2025 โ€” Ability to gift 1000 subs at once (already shelved from backlash) Post-COVID, I see a pattern of prioritizing revenue-generating products at the expense of what creators need or ask for. I understand Twitch needs to appease Amazon eventually with profit, but with a half-decade passed, all the buffs I can recall are 2K Resolution Streaming*, Portrait & Dual-Canvas Streaming*, and Stream Together / Shared Chat. *Both of these sortta don't count cuz they're invite-only betas that aren't site-wide and don't apply to non-Partners ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ While more features arrive that ask for more of your money to partake in the Twitch Experience, I feel like the users (both Streamers & Viewers) continue to be neglected. 10 years ago, I thought YouTube Gaming was DOA; now I anticipate when more people bail on Twitch because the functionality will decay without a compelling reason to stay if the culture dminishes. I'll conclude with the 4th thumbnail included in this tweet โ€” a supercut of a portion from the TwitchCon 2025 Keynote from Dan Clancy, with the youtube dislikes superimposed-over for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think of what I shared today! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ I'm considering also breaking down the specific causes (not symptoms) of why Twitch is where it is, and my 999 IQ Pragmatic Solutions that are tenfold better than what I've seen suggested after this morale fallout following TwitchCon 2025 ๐Ÿ‘€

Emmett Shear (previous CEO; 2011-2023) probably was a huge reason for sluggish changes overall to the platform as from what I hear but I can't say for certain. Regardless, we got Dan Clancy as CEO and, while there has been lots of positive changes under his reign, it really does feel like "too little, too late" with the pressure looming from Amazon's 2015 acquisition; increased competition and marketshare decline; and declining revenues, active users & monthly streamers"โฝโธโพ. Here's a brief timeline of features implemented that I feel helped build the culture. Before COVID, I believe the biggest obstacle was helping migrate streamers from being part-time to capable full-time content creators. So, at the time, revenue-generating products were revolutionary to help there, including me at that time: โœ… 2016 โ€” Bits/Cheers & Prime Subs (!!!) โœ… 2017 โ€” Gift Subs (to a specific user) โœ… 2018 โ€” Gift Subs (to randos in Community); Super Subs & Ultra Subs โœ… 2018 โ€” Twitch Mobile App v2 (original mobile app was a constantly broken mess) โœ… 2018 โ€” Twitch Prime no longer adblocks (I will agree how they did it was stupid, but ultimately, it was a necessary; I can defend this in the replies if needed) Comparatively, here's the hostile changes that came at the expense of the Twitch Populous supporting said-change: โŒ 2017 โ€” Communitiesโฝโนโพ (DOA cuz it wasn't streamlined enough and vulnerable to Popularity Bias; I can elaborate in replies if needed) โŒ 2018 โ€” Tags for Channels (DOA cuz anyone can use any tag, diluting the effort of broad categorization or filtering in any capacity) โŒ 2022 โ€” Twitch kills Hostingโฝยนโฐโพ (also new "craptacular" Offline Page w/ Suggested Channels idea instead) โŒ 2024 โ€” Twitch Mobile App v3โฝยนยนโพ (Tiktok clone dogshit) โŒ 2024 โ€” Stories (who asked for this?) โŒ 2025 โ€” 100hr Video Storage Limit (going back against Collections & cementing Twitch isn't an evergreen platform; also SHORT NOTICE) โŒ2025 โ€” Live Rewind ... paywall'd to Twitch Turbo & Channel Subscribers only (this is free sitewide on yt's livestreams)โฝยนยฒโพ โŒ 2025 โ€” Ability to gift 1000 subs at once (already shelved from backlash) Post-COVID, I see a pattern of prioritizing revenue-generating products at the expense of what creators need or ask for. I understand Twitch needs to appease Amazon eventually with profit, but with a half-decade passed, all the buffs I can recall are 2K Resolution Streaming*, Portrait & Dual-Canvas Streaming*, and Stream Together / Shared Chat. *Both of these sortta don't count cuz they're invite-only betas that aren't site-wide and don't apply to non-Partners ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ While more features arrive that ask for more of your money to partake in the Twitch Experience, I feel like the users (both Streamers & Viewers) continue to be neglected. 10 years ago, I thought YouTube Gaming was DOA; now I anticipate when more people bail on Twitch because the functionality will decay without a compelling reason to stay if the culture dminishes. I'll conclude with the 4th thumbnail included in this tweet โ€” a supercut of a portion from the TwitchCon 2025 Keynote from Dan Clancy, with the youtube dislikes superimposed-over for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think of what I shared today! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ I'm considering also breaking down the specific causes (not symptoms) of why Twitch is where it is, and my 999 IQ Pragmatic Solutions that are tenfold better than what I've seen suggested after this morale fallout following TwitchCon 2025 ๐Ÿ‘€

Wolverine's difficulty does not stem from a complex combat system, but rather from the placement, variety, and quantity of the enemies that you will face. One of the more difficult combat trials that I experienced had you facing a group of enemies comprised of a large dude, multiple basic enemies, two energy shield enemies, and a few more guys. Because this was a challenge map, the goal was to take out the big guy first, and there was a timer that I had to beat. Facing these guys head on was essentially guaranteed failure, cuz they would either overwhelm me immediately, or by the time I killed them all the timer would run out. You had to sneak around them and avoid the mutant detection alarms to sneak attack the large berserker and remove half his health, and then immediately begin open combat. Now think of this like Batman Arkham, where shield enemies require a special combo to beat, knife enemies can't be countered, and large guys have to be stunned with your cape before being attacked... Same concept here, but much more focused on dodging at the right time, parrying at the right time, and using your special attacks at the right moments. The shield guys HAD to be kicked before slashing him, the gun holders HAD to be dodged to avoid damage, and the sword guys HAD to be parried, all while the large dude is on your ass doing area effect attacks that can 2-3 hit you. These are all from the Trask soldiers faction btw, and there's of course "The Hand" faction of enemies, and more that they haven't revealed yet. This is obviously just ONE example, and I'm not even trying to say it's the most revolutionary combat system ever, because even I still need to try more of the combat to be fully sold on it, but I just wanted to give a better image to y'all of what combat will feel like once you're no longer in the tutorial stage of the game. I also didn't LOVE the sentinel boss fight, but it's hard to give proper criticism to this game right now without seeming like an absolute chud thanks to the current discourse lmao

I have ZERO desire to be in any drama over this adpocalypse shit. I'm pretty open with my community about how I run my stream/youtube/tiktok content and thought I could give a unique perspective as a gaming only streamer with a video on my new channel FlatsTV. But a clip blew up that's out of context so I wanted to provide a bit more Here is a part of my stream just earlier today where I revisited the topic to actually show and compare my August revenue to November. I chose these 2 as they are both at the start of big Overwatch events (Season 12 and Overwatch Classic launch) with drops enabled and very similar viewership/streamtime. If you know me and the way I operate I try to stay as far away from drama as possible (for better or for worse) but wanted to provide more info in hopes its at least somewhat helpful to the topic

Today I've uploaded The Alfred Alfer Movie - the "feature" film that I animated from 2013-2016. This was not the movie that I originally intended to make- I typically don't write scripts but make stuff up as I go, and this ended up being a series of shorts that got stitched together chronologically. I thought it was garbage for years and didn't even release it in its completion until 2019 - Even then it's just been on my lowly Bitchute channel, in 480p. Now looking back I am somewhat proud of it, especially seeing the increase of the quality of animation over 3 years. Aside from the American Psycho opening (which was animated in 2015), the animation evolves as the movie progresses, starting out extremely crude and ending at my peak with "The Ascent of Alfred." So here it is, on Twitter for all of you. I'll probably put it on my new Youtube as well. Disclaimer: this is a very fucked up piece of animation (as that is what I do) so don't watch it if you're easily offended or angered by "degenerate" cartoons lol. It's a Comedy of Horrors - a good movie for the Halloween season if that context helps. Enjoy! : )

Weโ€™re open sourcing the first document OCR benchmark for the agentic era, ParseBench. Document parsing is the foundation of every AI agent that works with real-world files. ParseBench is a benchmark that measures parsing quality specifically for agent knowledge work: โœ… It optimizes for semantic correctness (instead of exact similarity) โœ… It has the most comprehensive distribution of real-world enterprise documents It contains ~2,000 human-verified enterprise document pages with 167,000+ test rules across five dimensions that matter most: tables, charts, content faithfulness, semantic formatting, and visual grounding. We benchmarked 14 known document parsers on ParseBench, from frontier/OSS VLMs to specialized parsers to LlamaParse. Here are some of our findings: ๐Ÿ’ก Increasing compute budget yields diminishing returns - Gemini/gpt-5-mini/haiku gain 3-5 points from minimal to high thinking, at 4x the cost. ๐Ÿ’ก Charts are the most polarizing dimension for evaluation. Most specialized parsers score below 6%, while some VLM-based parsers do a bit better. ๐Ÿ’ก VLMs are great at visual understanding but terrible at layout extraction. GPT-5-mini/haiku score below 10% on our visual grounding task, all specialized parsers do much better. ๐Ÿ’ก No method crushes all 5 dimensions at once, but LlamaParse achieves the highest overall score at 84.9%, and is the leader in 4 out of the 5 dimensions. This is by far the deepest technical work that weโ€™ve published as a company. I would encourage you to start with our blog and explore our links to Hugging Face to GitHub. All the details are in our full 35-page (!!) ArXiv whitepaper. ๐ŸŒ: Blog: ๐Ÿ“„ Paper: ๐Ÿ’ป Code: ๐Ÿ“Š Dataset: ๐ŸŽฅ YouTube:

dave meltzer: youtube enthusiast ๐Ÿ’€ perfect. now we can stop pretending this was ever complicated. the real story is not that wwe is afraid of aew. the real story is not that โ€œhigh level wwe officialsโ€ are whispering scary things to dave meltzer. the real story is not even that tony khan got asked a planted question on a media call with very little distribution about the possibility of aew soon having very little distribution, although that sentence is so stupidly perfect it should be bronzed and placed outside the wrestling observer newsletter office like a war memorial for people who died pretending this was journalism. the real story is that aew is going to lose its wbd distribution deal. either it ends at the expiration of the three-year term in 2027, or it ends earlier if paramount closes wbd and decides aew has no strategic place inside the new company. and based on the board as it exists right now, the most likely landing spot for aew in 2027 is google / youtube. that is the story. everything else is laundering. tony khan wants the story to be: โ€œwhy would wwe say this about us?โ€ that is the whole operation. take my public analysis. run it through dave meltzer. assign it to wwe / tko. then let tony khan answer a canned question on a media call with very little distribution about potentially having very little distribution. a media call for a lightly viewed roh show. a planted story. a planted messenger. a rehearsed answer. a pr flack probably wrote it. tony khan performs hurt. tony khan says โ€œi donโ€™t know why wwe wouldโ€ฆโ€ tony khan denies the obvious. tony khan keeps me minimized. tony khan removes me from the public conversation about the exact thing i have repeatedly said is going to happen to aew. everyone is supposed to pretend this is organic. it is not. it is the most bubble wrapped, manufactured, artificial environment possible. aew is heading toward youtube because the domestic media rights board is closing around them. not as a troll. not as a bit. not as โ€œpr spin.โ€ as a business conclusion. aew is not leverage. wwe is not afraid of aew. the $185 million number was bullshit. the buyer universe was shrinking. paramount / skydance was coming for wbd. wbd was not going to be some permanent aew safe house. youtube was only ever a real โ€œoptionโ€ if someone at google was actually cutting a media rights check and underwriting production. not because every divorced mom with a ring light and a gmail account can upload video to the same platform. that was always the distinction. that is still the distinction.

Hell no. Just the reality. It isnโ€™t the model. Jon is global head of sports over there.โ€ that was february, not last week. not after dave meltzer suddenly discovered youtube prelim numbers like columbus finding the new world. it is becoming inevitable now.

Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 9, 2025 โ€” 10:51 AM โ€” 9,565 Views โ€œNo one in Hollywood believes the $185 million number.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 9, 2025 โ€” 11:35 AM โ€” 7,470 Views โ€œThe $185 million figure is inflated. Varietyโ€™s October 2, 2024 article was likely updated after a publicist called on AEWโ€™s behalf, as early reports placed the deal between $140 and $150 million per year. Tony Khan was also included in Varietyโ€™s Dealmakers 2024 list, which, while not officially pay to play, strongly favors those spending significant advertising dollars with the outlet. No one in Hollywood seriously believes WBD, which is in junk bond status, is paying AEW $185 million per year. Clear enough?โ€ clear enough? the number was never clean. the number was never real in the way aew fans and wrestling media pretended it was real. and when the $185 million number started getting laughed out of adult rooms, the number magically became $178 million. that is where the shell game gets funny. because $178 million was not some sacred sourced number either. it was brandon thurston taking the median between $170 million, reported by sports business journal, and $185 million, reported by variety and others. that is literally what wrestlenomics said. Wrestlenomics โ€” October 4, 2024 โ€œWhy use $178 million here for AEWโ€™s new deal when some outlets are reporting the average annual value is $185 million?โ€ Wrestlenomics โ€” October 4, 2024 โ€œI used $178 million here because it is simply the median of $170 million, as reported by Sports Business Journal, and $185 million, reported by Variety and others.โ€ there it is. arithmetic. not an all-cash rights fee. not a clean license number. not proof wbd valued aew like raw. not a finance-department document from warner bros. discovery. a midpoint between conflicting public reports. then wrestling media treated that midpoint like scripture because they needed the story to be โ€œaew is valued like raw,โ€ not โ€œaew pr inflated a number no serious person in hollywood believed.โ€ and by the way, $170 million was not the clean all-cash number either. that is the scam. float the number. repeat the number. launder the number. defend the number with people who do not understand the difference between cash rights fees, in-kind services, equity, marketing commitments, platform value, make-goods, ad inventory, and press release math. then when the number collapses, pretend the next number was always the number. that is not reporting. that is aew state news. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 10, 2025 โ€” 5:53 AM โ€” 12.6K Views โ€œAEW isnโ€™t leverage. Itโ€™s not competition. Itโ€™s a niche product with loud fans and limited reach.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 10, 2025 โ€” 8:56 AM โ€” 1,018 Views โ€œWe handle wrestling deals too, but thinking we need AEW for leverage is myopic. The landscape is changing and the game Iโ€™m playing is different.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 15, 2025 โ€” 25.7K Views โ€œAEW isnโ€™t leverage.โ€ that was never emotional. that was never tribal. that was never โ€œi hate aew.โ€ it was market structure. wwe did not need aew as leverage because real leverage was never โ€œanother wrestling show exists.โ€ real leverage is architecture, scale, subscriber churn, platform strategy, sports adjacency, global rights, advertising, sponsorship, live inventory, library value, data, brand safety, executive relationships, and the actual buyer universe of maybe 18-20 companies in the united states that matter for live sports rights. aew fans thought this was a wrestling argument. it was never a wrestling argument. it was a board. and the board was already moving. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 482 Views โ€œI wasnโ€™t viewing the above in that context (TKO vs AEW counter programming), it was more of this is what Iโ€™m hearing after 2 weeks of big media deals rolling out (Skydance closing, South Park library moving) etc. Which have all been in the works for awhile.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 388 Views โ€œBut if you were to look at it from a counter programming perspective (and I donโ€™t think this was a factor in UFC deal) - there are only so many players for these big media rights deals. PARA is likely off the board (via TKO deal) & then what if they acquire WB in 2026/27?โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 535 Views โ€œYes, of course, that wouldnโ€™t mean the end for AEW. It would make navigating their media rights deal more challenging, I would guess. But this is a hypothetical scenario & I do not believe anyone is paying $7.7b for UFC or a $40b valuation for WB w/ how do we fuck AEW, either.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€œAnd hearing all weekend Paramount is still interested in WBD.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 1.3K Views โ€œI think more interesting for what it could mean as the dominoes keep falling in terms of the still evolving landscape. The deals are massive & the number of major players at the top are shrinking as still big push for consolidation & scale.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 12:11 PM โ€” 2,588 Views โ€œAnd Iโ€™d view AAA on Google/YouTube as directly competitive. It targets both the CMLL collab & the audience that used to watch AEW Dark on YouTube, & WWE is able to send well known stars to AAA events with an eye towards converting more of the younger, YouTube demo of viewers who donโ€™t watch streamers.โ€ again: august 11. not yesterday. not after dave meltzer tweeted a netflix prelim number. not after anyone had to retrofit the argument. the point was already there: the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, paramount was likely off the board for aew because of the tko deal, google / youtube was becoming directly competitive for the exact audience aew used to reach through dark, and the buyer universe was consolidating around deals much bigger than tony khanโ€™s feelings. this was not mysticism. this was not inside baseball for the sake of sounding smart. this was the board. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 24, 2025 โ€œThis isnโ€™t fair. I misread your question. AEW will exist but likely on the Discovery Global app (if it ever launches, I would bet that it doesnโ€™t) and it will continue to do consistent ratings. If Paramount/Skydance buys WBD in a yearโ€ฆโ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 4, 2025 โ€” 76 Views โ€œNo, thatโ€™s the WBD network division (cable, news, sports) that was already announced as being spun off under Discovery Global. The article youโ€™re citing is about them selling a minority equity stake in that unit to cut debt and boost valuation ahead of the 2026 split.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 16, 2025 โ€” 3.6K Views โ€œThis is not just about Hollywood scale. It is the foundation of a conservative aligned media infrastructure. A Paramount/WBD merger would fold CBS, CNN, HBO, and Warner Bros IP into Ellisonโ€™s orbit under Trumpโ€™s regulatory umbrella.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 16, 2025 โ€” 11K Views โ€œWithin 48 hours of the rumor, WBD stock surged ~55% and Paramount Skydance rose ~24%. That market response itself boxed David Zaslav in; his board, Wall Street, and his own contract now expect movement.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 27, 2025 โ€” 12:16 PM โ€” 3,516 Views โ€œNah homie. Enjoy watching the show on YouTube after Ellison buys WBD and Ari who is advising Ellison and used to represent Trump and runs TKO makes the call.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 28, 2025 โ€” 174 Views โ€œI believe if and when Paramount acquires WBD, TKO will push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. The long knives are already out for competitors, and the rights deals have likely been spread around town precisely to keep rivals from signing with those streamers.โ€ none of that was random. paramount / skydance, ellison, ari, tko, wbd linear assets, youtube, aaa, the tko deal, the wbd split, the shrinking rights buyer universe โ€” all of it was one connected domestic rights architecture. that is why this conversation was always over the heads of the people screaming โ€œcopeโ€ in my replies. they were arguing like fans. i was reading the cap table. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œYes, I always believed Paramount would walk away with WBD. I was one of the first to talk about it on here, even if I wasnโ€™t the first to hear it. The Paramount Skydance acquisition closed on August 7. I posted this on August 11, about 1 month before the The Wall Street Journal first broke the news on September 12 that Paramount Skydance was preparing a bid for WBD.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œThe bid was always going to be hostile. We are only in this process because it was a hostile bid. Most people in Hollywood believed Ellison long coveted WB and Jack Warnerโ€™s chair. WB was not for sale when Skydance acquired Paramount, which is much smaller in scale.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œNearly everyone in town assumed an Ellison acquisition of WBD was inevitable until the Netflix bid shocked everyone. Signs were there for the last two weeks, which is also when I stopped posting about what might happen. Of course, its not over yet. Paramount still has paths to winning this acquisition. The one thing thatโ€™s for certain though is an Ellison-led acquisition of WBD is no longer inevitable.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 8, 2025 โ€œEND CREDITSโ€ space jam is a warner bros. movie. that was the joke. and the joke was the same thing i had been saying the whole time: paramount was winning the bid, for those who did not understand. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 19, 2025 โ€” 4:30 PM โ€” 828 Views โ€œHere is another reference to it. So tell me how exactly is Paramount the better outcome for Daveโ€™s argument? Netflix doesnโ€™t touch the WBD linear assets. Gunnar keeps his SpinCo.โ€ Puck excerpt โ€” December 19, 2025 โ€œMany industry insiders are also skeptical about Paramountโ€™s seven-year, $7.7 billion deal for exclusive UFC rights in the U.S. Yes, it can be read as a signal that Ellison came to play. But some people see it more as Ari Emanuel having his way with the person to whom he is ostensibly an (unpaid) advisorโ€ฆโ€ that is the board. that is the relationship map. that is the thing wrestling media either does not understand or pretends not to understand, because understanding it means admitting the story is not โ€œaew has leverage.โ€ the story is that aew is sitting in the middle of a consolidating rights marketplace where the people with leverage are doing much bigger things than worrying about tony khanโ€™s feelings.

we told tony khan as a courtesy so tony khan would have time to find a new home. and no, this has zero to do with paramount looming as an excuse. paramount did not even make its first hostile bid for wbd until september 11 or 12. that was after tony khan was already told there would not be a wbd renewal. so what did tony khan do? tony khan turned the truth into a wrestling angle. tony khan, or one of tony khanโ€™s minions, gets dave meltzer to drop a story assigning my claims and what i have been publicly posting about tony khan to โ€œhigh level wwe officials.โ€ why? because it gives tony khan a safer enemy. tony khan does not want the story to be the actual timeline. because the actual timeline is brutal. on february 28, i said youtube was not a real media rights model unless google was actually cutting the check and underwriting production. on april 30, i said wbd passed in august, the myaew app was not realistic, paramount was not real for aew, cw / roku was off the table, amazon and fox did not want aew, and the only distributor left that made sense was google / youtube. on july 9, i said no one in hollywood believed the $185 million number. on july 10, i said aew was not leverage. on august 11, i said the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, and google / youtube was becoming a directly competitive lane. on september 16, i said a paramount / wbd merger would fold cbs, cnn, hbo, and warner bros. ip into ellisonโ€™s orbit. on september 27, i said enjoy the show on youtube after ellison buys wbd. on september 28, i said if paramount acquires wbd, tko would push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. on december 6, i said paramount skydance was preparing a bid for wbd long before most people admitted the obvious. on february 19, i said paramount was always my bet to acquire warner bros. and on february 28, i said it in all caps: paramount is coming for wbd. aew will lose a tv deal. that is the part tony khan cannot answer directly, because the direct answer means admitting this was never โ€œwwe is scared of us.โ€ it was always the board closing. tony khan wants the story to be: why would wwe say this about us? that is the laundering operation. take my public analysis. run it through dave meltzer. assign it to wwe / tko. then let tony khan answer a canned question on a media call with very little distribution about potentially having very little distribution. a media call for a show with very little distribution answering a canned question about aew potentially having very little distribution. based on a planted story, from a planted messenger, with a rehearsed answer, after an roh show maybe 8-15k people watched. a pr flack probably wrote it. tony khan performs hurt. tony khan says โ€œi donโ€™t know why wwe wouldโ€ฆโ€ tony khan denies the obvious. tony khan keeps me minimized. tony khan removes me from the public conversation about the very thing i have repeatedly said is going to happen to aew. everyone is supposed to pretend this is organic. it is the most bubble wrapped, manufactured, artificial environment possible. a canned and rehearsed answer at an roh media scrum about a planted dave meltzer story based on my very real and very public analysis of the media rights board. but make no mistake. tony khan was responding to my words. tony khan just laundered them through dave meltzer and assigned them to wwe / tko so tony khan could keep lying about it publicly without ever saying my name. and now, voila. dave meltzer is posting about youtube viewers and prelims. Dave Meltzer โ€” May 16, 2026 โ€œAt this moment there are 340,000 people watching prelims for Netflix on YouTube. Itโ€™s a good number.โ€ yes, dave meltzer. youtube can have good numbers. nobody said youtube cannot have good numbers. that was never the issue. the issue is whether youtube is being used as a funnel into a premium rights ecosystem or as a substitute because the premium rights ecosystem rejected you. that is the difference. that has always been the difference. netflix using youtube prelims as audience acquisition is not the same thing as aew trying to spin youtube as a media rights home because the real buyers are gone. ufc using youtube as a funnel is not the same thing as aew using youtube as a life raft. wwe sending stars to aaa on youtube to convert a younger demo is not the same thing as aew retreating to youtube after the traditional buyer board closes. and the fact that dave meltzer is now suddenly tweeting like the mayor of youtube is the punchline. because the same people who mocked the youtube outcome are now going to spend the next several months explaining why youtube is actually good. of course it can be good. for the right use case. for the right property. inside the right architecture. with the right check attached. but when you spend two years telling everyone you were valued like raw and your next stop is โ€œplease subscribe and smash that bell,โ€ maybe stop pretending this is victory formation? i told yโ€™all where this was going. the record is right there. iโ€™m still right. and tony and dave: you guys are see through translucent. thatโ€™s it for ye ๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽค

Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 9, 2025 โ€” 10:51 AM โ€” 9,565 Views โ€œNo one in Hollywood believes the $185 million number.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 9, 2025 โ€” 11:35 AM โ€” 7,470 Views โ€œThe $185 million figure is inflated. Varietyโ€™s October 2, 2024 article was likely updated after a publicist called on AEWโ€™s behalf, as early reports placed the deal between $140 and $150 million per year. Tony Khan was also included in Varietyโ€™s Dealmakers 2024 list, which, while not officially pay to play, strongly favors those spending significant advertising dollars with the outlet. No one in Hollywood seriously believes WBD, which is in junk bond status, is paying AEW $185 million per year. Clear enough?โ€ clear enough? the number was never clean. the number was never real in the way aew fans and wrestling media pretended it was real. and when the $185 million number started getting laughed out of adult rooms, the number magically became $178 million. that is where the shell game gets funny. because $178 million was not some sacred sourced number either. it was brandon thurston taking the median between $170 million, reported by sports business journal, and $185 million, reported by variety and others. that is literally what wrestlenomics said. Wrestlenomics โ€” October 4, 2024 โ€œWhy use $178 million here for AEWโ€™s new deal when some outlets are reporting the average annual value is $185 million?โ€ Wrestlenomics โ€” October 4, 2024 โ€œI used $178 million here because it is simply the median of $170 million, as reported by Sports Business Journal, and $185 million, reported by Variety and others.โ€ there it is. arithmetic. not an all-cash rights fee. not a clean license number. not proof wbd valued aew like raw. not a finance-department document from warner bros. discovery. a midpoint between conflicting public reports. then wrestling media treated that midpoint like scripture because they needed the story to be โ€œaew is valued like raw,โ€ not โ€œaew pr inflated a number no serious person in hollywood believed.โ€ and by the way, $170 million was not the clean all-cash number either. that is the scam. float the number. repeat the number. launder the number. defend the number with people who do not understand the difference between cash rights fees, in-kind services, equity, marketing commitments, platform value, make-goods, ad inventory, and press release math. then when the number collapses, pretend the next number was always the number. that is not reporting. that is aew state news. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 10, 2025 โ€” 5:53 AM โ€” 12.6K Views โ€œAEW isnโ€™t leverage. Itโ€™s not competition. Itโ€™s a niche product with loud fans and limited reach.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 10, 2025 โ€” 8:56 AM โ€” 1,018 Views โ€œWe handle wrestling deals too, but thinking we need AEW for leverage is myopic. The landscape is changing and the game Iโ€™m playing is different.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 15, 2025 โ€” 25.7K Views โ€œAEW isnโ€™t leverage.โ€ that was never emotional. that was never tribal. that was never โ€œi hate aew.โ€ it was market structure. wwe did not need aew as leverage because real leverage was never โ€œanother wrestling show exists.โ€ real leverage is architecture, scale, subscriber churn, platform strategy, sports adjacency, global rights, advertising, sponsorship, live inventory, library value, data, brand safety, executive relationships, and the actual buyer universe of maybe 18-20 companies in the united states that matter for live sports rights. aew fans thought this was a wrestling argument. it was never a wrestling argument. it was a board. and the board was already moving. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 482 Views โ€œI wasnโ€™t viewing the above in that context (TKO vs AEW counter programming), it was more of this is what Iโ€™m hearing after 2 weeks of big media deals rolling out (Skydance closing, South Park library moving) etc. Which have all been in the works for awhile.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 388 Views โ€œBut if you were to look at it from a counter programming perspective (and I donโ€™t think this was a factor in UFC deal) - there are only so many players for these big media rights deals. PARA is likely off the board (via TKO deal) & then what if they acquire WB in 2026/27?โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 535 Views โ€œYes, of course, that wouldnโ€™t mean the end for AEW. It would make navigating their media rights deal more challenging, I would guess. But this is a hypothetical scenario & I do not believe anyone is paying $7.7b for UFC or a $40b valuation for WB w/ how do we fuck AEW, either.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€œAnd hearing all weekend Paramount is still interested in WBD.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 1.3K Views โ€œI think more interesting for what it could mean as the dominoes keep falling in terms of the still evolving landscape. The deals are massive & the number of major players at the top are shrinking as still big push for consolidation & scale.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 12:11 PM โ€” 2,588 Views โ€œAnd Iโ€™d view AAA on Google/YouTube as directly competitive. It targets both the CMLL collab & the audience that used to watch AEW Dark on YouTube, & WWE is able to send well known stars to AAA events with an eye towards converting more of the younger, YouTube demo of viewers who donโ€™t watch streamers.โ€ again: august 11. not yesterday. not after dave meltzer tweeted a netflix prelim number. not after anyone had to retrofit the argument. the point was already there: the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, paramount was likely off the board for aew because of the tko deal, google / youtube was becoming directly competitive for the exact audience aew used to reach through dark, and the buyer universe was consolidating around deals much bigger than tony khanโ€™s feelings. this was not mysticism. this was not inside baseball for the sake of sounding smart. this was the board. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 24, 2025 โ€œThis isnโ€™t fair. I misread your question. AEW will exist but likely on the Discovery Global app (if it ever launches, I would bet that it doesnโ€™t) and it will continue to do consistent ratings. If Paramount/Skydance buys WBD in a yearโ€ฆโ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 4, 2025 โ€” 76 Views โ€œNo, thatโ€™s the WBD network division (cable, news, sports) that was already announced as being spun off under Discovery Global. The article youโ€™re citing is about them selling a minority equity stake in that unit to cut debt and boost valuation ahead of the 2026 split.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 16, 2025 โ€” 3.6K Views โ€œThis is not just about Hollywood scale. It is the foundation of a conservative aligned media infrastructure. A Paramount/WBD merger would fold CBS, CNN, HBO, and Warner Bros IP into Ellisonโ€™s orbit under Trumpโ€™s regulatory umbrella.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 16, 2025 โ€” 11K Views โ€œWithin 48 hours of the rumor, WBD stock surged ~55% and Paramount Skydance rose ~24%. That market response itself boxed David Zaslav in; his board, Wall Street, and his own contract now expect movement.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 27, 2025 โ€” 12:16 PM โ€” 3,516 Views โ€œNah homie. Enjoy watching the show on YouTube after Ellison buys WBD and Ari who is advising Ellison and used to represent Trump and runs TKO makes the call.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 28, 2025 โ€” 174 Views โ€œI believe if and when Paramount acquires WBD, TKO will push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. The long knives are already out for competitors, and the rights deals have likely been spread around town precisely to keep rivals from signing with those streamers.โ€ none of that was random. paramount / skydance, ellison, ari, tko, wbd linear assets, youtube, aaa, the tko deal, the wbd split, the shrinking rights buyer universe โ€” all of it was one connected domestic rights architecture. that is why this conversation was always over the heads of the people screaming โ€œcopeโ€ in my replies. they were arguing like fans. i was reading the cap table. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œYes, I always believed Paramount would walk away with WBD. I was one of the first to talk about it on here, even if I wasnโ€™t the first to hear it. The Paramount Skydance acquisition closed on August 7. I posted this on August 11, about 1 month before the The Wall Street Journal first broke the news on September 12 that Paramount Skydance was preparing a bid for WBD.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œThe bid was always going to be hostile. We are only in this process because it was a hostile bid. Most people in Hollywood believed Ellison long coveted WB and Jack Warnerโ€™s chair. WB was not for sale when Skydance acquired Paramount, which is much smaller in scale.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œNearly everyone in town assumed an Ellison acquisition of WBD was inevitable until the Netflix bid shocked everyone. Signs were there for the last two weeks, which is also when I stopped posting about what might happen. Of course, its not over yet. Paramount still has paths to winning this acquisition. The one thing thatโ€™s for certain though is an Ellison-led acquisition of WBD is no longer inevitable.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 8, 2025 โ€œEND CREDITSโ€ space jam is a warner bros. movie. that was the joke. and the joke was the same thing i had been saying the whole time: paramount was winning the bid, for those who did not understand. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 19, 2025 โ€” 4:30 PM โ€” 828 Views โ€œHere is another reference to it. So tell me how exactly is Paramount the better outcome for Daveโ€™s argument? Netflix doesnโ€™t touch the WBD linear assets. Gunnar keeps his SpinCo.โ€ Puck excerpt โ€” December 19, 2025 โ€œMany industry insiders are also skeptical about Paramountโ€™s seven-year, $7.7 billion deal for exclusive UFC rights in the U.S. Yes, it can be read as a signal that Ellison came to play. But some people see it more as Ari Emanuel having his way with the person to whom he is ostensibly an (unpaid) advisorโ€ฆโ€ that is the board. that is the relationship map. that is the thing wrestling media either does not understand or pretends not to understand, because understanding it means admitting the story is not โ€œaew has leverage.โ€ the story is that aew is sitting in the middle of a consolidating rights marketplace where the people with leverage are doing much bigger things than worrying about tony khanโ€™s feelings. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” January 21, 2026 โ€” 4:22 PM โ€” 870 Views โ€œi mean get ready to learn youtube buddyโ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” February 19, 2026 โ€” 2.8K Views โ€œParamount was always my bet to acquire Warner Bros. Never wavered.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” February 28, 2026 โ€” 1:27 PM โ€” 118 Views โ€œyou donโ€™t need to look under a hood I AM SAYING THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ I BEEN SAYING IT SINCE JULY / AUGUST ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ PARAMOUNT IS COMING FOR WBD AEW WILL LOSE A TV DEAL ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ GUESS WHO WAS RIGHT ๐Ÿ’€โ€ so no, this is not hindsight. this is not showing up after the fact with a flashlight and pretending i discovered the body. this is a paper trail. february: youtube is not a real rights model unless google is cutting the check. april: wbd passed back in august, the myaew app is not realistic, paramount is not real for aew, cw / roku is off the table, amazon and fox do not want aew, and google / youtube is the only distributor left that makes sense. july: the $185 million number is inflated and aew is not leverage. august: the buyer board is shrinking, paramount is still interested in wbd, and google / youtube becomes directly competitive. september: paramount / wbd folds the board into ellisonโ€™s orbit, and if ellison buys wbd, enjoy youtube. december: paramount was always the bet, the bid was always going to be hostile, and netflix does not solve dave meltzerโ€™s argument because netflix does not touch the linear assets. january: get ready to learn youtube. february: paramount is coming for wbd and aew will lose a tv deal. same board. same thesis. same answer. now here is the part tony khan and dave meltzer do not want to say out loud. tony khan and dave meltzer do not mention me publicly for a reason. because the second they say my name out loud, they admit where this conversation has actually been coming from. not wwe. not some anonymous โ€œhigh level official.โ€ not some shadowy tko whisper campaign. me. that is the problem for them. behind the scenes, ask any real insider what happens when my name comes up around this subject. there is a reaction. not because iโ€™m magic. not because iโ€™m some internet boogeyman. because they know exactly who is saying it, why iโ€™m saying it, what rooms i have been in, what companies i have dealt with, what executives i have spoken to, and why the analysis keeps landing. that is why they keep trying to non-person me publicly while reacting to me privately. they want the argument. they want the benefit of responding to the argument. they just do not want to admit whose argument it is. when i said wbd told aew back in august 2025 they were not exercising the option for the fourth year, tony khan blew up behind the scenes and forced john mcmullen to revise / update his article 2-3 weeks ago after i tweeted it. which is hilarious because that should not even be crazy or damaging โ€œnews.โ€ that is how this business works. when a distributor is not continuing, they tell you early enough so you have time to find a new home. that is not sabotage. that is not wwe. that is not nick lopiccolo hiding inside david zaslavโ€™s air vents with a clipboard. that is corporate courtesy. wbd execs privately whisper and shake their heads at tony khanโ€™s behavior because their view is very simple: why does tony khan act like everything is great and rainbows and sunshine with the studio? we told tony khan as a courtesy so tony khan would have time to find a new home. and no, this has zero to do with paramount looming as an excuse. paramount did not even make its first hostile bid for wbd until september 11 or 12. that was after tony khan was already told there would not be a wbd renewal. so what did tony khan do? tony khan turned the truth into a wrestling angle. tony khan, or one of tony khanโ€™s minions, gets dave meltzer to drop a story assigning my claims and what i have been publicly posting about tony khan to โ€œhigh level wwe officials.โ€ why? because it gives tony khan a safer enemy. tony khan does not want the story to be the actual timeline. because the actual timeline is brutal. on february 28, i said youtube was not a real media rights model unless google was actually cutting the check and underwriting production. on april 30, i said wbd passed in august, the myaew app was not realistic, paramount was not real for aew, cw / roku was off the table, amazon and fox did not want aew, and the only distributor left that made sense was google / youtube. on july 9, i said no one in hollywood believed the $185 million number. on july 10, i said aew was not leverage. on august 11, i said the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, and google / youtube was becoming a directly competitive lane. on september 16, i said a paramount / wbd merger would fold cbs, cnn, hbo, and warner bros. ip into ellisonโ€™s orbit. on september 27, i said enjoy the show on youtube after ellison buys wbd. on september 28, i said if paramount acquires wbd, tko would push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. on december 6, i said paramount skydance was preparing a bid for wbd long before most people admitted the obvious. on february 19, i said paramount was always my bet to acquire warner bros. and on february 28, i said it in all caps: paramount is coming for wbd. aew will lose a tv deal. that is the part tony khan cannot answer directly, because the direct answer means admitting this was never โ€œwwe is scared of us.โ€ it was always the board closing. tony khan wants the story to be: why would wwe say this about us? that is the laundering operation. take my public analysis. run it through dave meltzer. assign it to wwe / tko. then let tony khan answer a canned question on a media call with very little distribution about potentially having very little distribution. a media call for a show with very little distribution answering a canned question about aew potentially having very little distribution. based on a planted story, from a planted messenger, with a rehearsed answer, after an roh show maybe 8-15k people watched. a pr flack probably wrote it. tony khan performs hurt. tony khan says โ€œi donโ€™t know why wwe wouldโ€ฆโ€ tony khan denies the obvious. tony khan keeps me minimized. tony khan removes me from the public conversation about the very thing i have repeatedly said is going to happen to aew. everyone is supposed to pretend this is organic. it is the most bubble wrapped, manufactured, artificial environment possible. a canned and rehearsed answer at an roh media scrum about a planted dave meltzer story based on my very real and very public analysis of the media rights board. but make no mistake. tony khan was responding to my words. tony khan just laundered them through dave meltzer and assigned them to wwe / tko so tony khan could keep lying about it publicly without ever saying my name. and now, voila. dave meltzer is posting about youtube viewers and prelims. Dave Meltzer โ€” May 16, 2026 โ€œAt this moment there are 340,000 people watching prelims for Netflix on YouTube. Itโ€™s a good number.โ€ yes, dave meltzer. youtube can have good numbers. nobody said youtube cannot have good numbers. that was never the issue. the issue is whether youtube is being used as a funnel into a premium rights ecosystem or as a substitute because the premium rights ecosystem rejected you. that is the difference. that has always been the difference. netflix using youtube prelims as audience acquisition is not the same thing as aew trying to spin youtube as a media rights home because the real buyers are gone. ufc using youtube as a funnel is not the same thing as aew using youtube as a life raft. wwe sending stars to aaa on youtube to convert a younger demo is not the same thing as aew retreating to youtube after the traditional buyer board closes. and the fact that dave meltzer is now suddenly tweeting like the mayor of youtube is the punchline. because the same people who mocked the youtube outcome are now going to spend the next several months explaining why youtube is actually good. of course it can be good. for the right use case. for the right property. inside the right architecture. with the right check attached. but when you spend two years telling everyone you were valued like raw and your next stop is โ€œplease subscribe and smash that bell,โ€ maybe stop pretending this is victory formation? i told yโ€™all where this was going. the record is right there. iโ€™m still right. and tony and dave: you guys are see through translucent. thatโ€™s it for ye ๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽค

how to produce long form documentaries with claude this is how creators are producing long-form youtube documentaries in the sleep niche for about a low cost. you'll spend most of your effort building the workflow once, then every script after that runs through the same pipeline for cents. the format that works in this niche is different from normal youtube. your viewers are actively trying to fall asleep. that's the entire point. so people leave for two reasons: they got bored, or it worked and they're out. the ones who fall asleep come back later and keep listening. that repeat listening is a huge part of why the niche prints. which means the script is 90% of the whole thing. average view duration on my channels sits close to 25 min. that number does not come from cinematic visuals or fancy editing. it comes from narrative structure. if the script gets repetitive, drifts off topic, or loses momentum halfway, people stop listening. better footage cannot rescue a weak story here. the problem is the format does not scale on its own. one video needs a 15k-20k word script, hours of narration, hundreds of visual changes, music, and final assembly. writing that manually takes forever. editing every scene takes even longer. here's the workflow i set up: claude api (NOT the chat app. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to not skip this. in the chat interface you end up typing "continue.. write chapter 4.. don't repeat yourself.. you forgot what happened in chapter 2" and by the halfway point it's contradicting earlier sections and drifting from the outline. you spend more time babysitting than writing. the api sends every request automatically and you pay per actual usage instead of another monthly subscription) google sheets connected to the claude api. this is the whole engine. you don't need to be a dev. the sheet does two things: first it generates the full documentary structure/outline. then it writes ONE chapter at a time instead of trying to produce the entire 20k words in a single response (which is where models fall apart). before each chapter, it passes claude three things: the outline, the instructions for that specific section, and a running summary of everything already written. that running summary is the trick. it's why chapter 8 never contradicts chapter 2. capcut ai video maker for the first edit. it generates voiceover, subtitles, and an initial visual sequence from auto-matched stock footage. the stock matching is not perfect, but it gets you a 90% first draft way faster than manually searching for hundreds of clips. note: capcut caps at 3000 words, so you split the script into sections, generate each one, export, and combine into the final video. HERE'S HOW THE PRODUCTION ACTUALLY RUNS: step 1 โ€”> topic + title + thumbnail. do NOT skip this. ai cannot tell you which topic has demand or whether a title creates curiosity. this is where most of the value still is. figure this out before you touch any automation. step 2 โ€”> run the sheet. it builds the outline first, then writes chapter by chapter, feeding itself the running summary each time so it stays consistent. cost for a full script usually lands around $0.30-0.40 depending on the model, input length, and number of revisions. step 3 โ€”> paste script into capcut in sub-3000 word chunks. generate voiceover + subtitles + auto-matched visuals for each. export each section. step 4 โ€”> combine sections into the final 2-3 hour video. then you handle the parts ai can't: pacing check, misleading visuals, final editorial judgment. the reason this matters is repeatability. every script moves through the exact same production structure, but you can still change the topic, tone, evidence, pacing, and narrative direction each time. so it stops being random one-off videos and starts being a system. the math: capcut is ~$20/mo and allows many exports. claude api is a little above thirty cents per script. at 30-40 documentaries a month that works out to roughly $1 in direct software cost per finished video. that figure does NOT include your time, research, thumbnails, subscriptions, failed ideas, or the cost of building the workflow itself. it is not the full cost of the business, it's the direct software cost. one more thing worth knowing: mixing real historical/stock footage alongside ai assets is the best defense i've found against the "reused/inauthentic content" flags that destroy fully automated channels. that's from experience, not a rule youtube publishes. this is not passive income and it's not a one-click youtube machine. it's a production system that makes experimentation cheaper. ai removes the repetitive work. it does not remove the need for taste.
