There was a time when HuffPost and BuzzFeed looked like the future of digital media. Both mastered the mechanics of internet distribution, attracted enormous audiences, and convinced investors that scale itself could become a durable competitive advantage. So how did two of the defining brands of the digital-media era end up shrinking so dramatically? Was the underlying business model always flawed, or did a series of strategic mistakes — from costly acquisitions to overreliance on platforms like Facebook — turn these promising companies into cautionary tales? To help answer these questions, I brought on Jason Krebs, a longtime media executive who has worked at some of the industry's biggest companies, including Google, Disney, The New York Times, and Condé Nast. He's spent decades watching media business models rise and fall, which makes him an especially useful person to talk to about an industry that keeps cycling through new theories about distribution and scale. We also discussed two very different approaches to building subscription businesses. Jason weighed in on The New York Times' experiment with an AI chatbot trained on its own archives and whether the reputational risks are worth it. And we dug into MS NOW's new subscription product, debating whether personality-driven hosts like Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes can convert their audiences into paying members.

There's a lot to unpack about the economic effects of artificial intelligence. It's clear that artificial intelligence is having a moment (to say the least) and that it has a profound impact on global GDP. But is it just a boom that will bust? Ed Zitron, author and host of the “Better Offline” podcast, is deeply worried about the long-term viability of the industry. He points out that AI lacks the basic traits that have been associated with previous software booms. This raises the question: is AI running more on unsustainable costs and vibes rather than long-term profit potential? According to Ed, the answer is clear. Note that is episode was originally released on 6/9/26.  Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.

Artificial Intelligence gives Chris Hayes a bad feeling. The MS NOW and podcast host doesn't want to panic or to be complacent. But he does wants to understand this moment we're living in where AI is poised to change how we learn, how we work and even who we are. It's not the first time Hayes has tried to make sense of our rapidly changing world. He's also written a book about the attention economy, and the race to capture and monetize our attention. Now he examines how artificial intelligence could transform that battle, and so many others. He asks who stands to benefit and where we're headed with this revolutionary technology in a special miniseries for his podcast, Why is This Happening. It's called The AI End Game: Power, Profit, and Progress. Link to his podcast HERE
