It's the Zenspath Entertainment Network Podcast Episode 170! Jeremy, Stephen, & Chase talk about the Switch 2 finally going up for Pre-Order, the "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" remake releases, the 3rd party developer Switch Key Card trend, Sony adds new features in the latest update, Ziff Davis is taking OpenAI to court, & more. Our "Big Question" for this week is "Former PlayStation President, Shuhei Yoshida , recently stated with the announcement of the Switch 2, that “Nintendo is losing its identity” for just making an improved follow up system instead of “disappointing everyone” with something new. With this in mind…do you feel the Switch 2 is Nintendo losing their identity & how do you feel the current iterations of Xbox & PlayStation have held up for their identities as well?”?"

The media industry, like politics, has been stuck in a scarcity mindset—managing decline instead of building for the future. In this episode, we dig into The Abundance Agenda, the new book by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, and explore what a pro-growth strategy could look like for media. Plus, TheSkimm exits to Ziff Davis, the rise of AI-driven advertising, and Anonymous Banker joins to explain why second-tier comedians might be the next big media arbitrage opportunity.Why Can't AI Make Its Own Discoveries? — With Yann LeCunWatch us on YouTubeTroy Young's People vs Algorithms newsletterBrian Morrissey's The Rebooting newsletterAlex Schleifer's Human ComputerFollow Alex, Brian and Troy on Twitter

We discuss the continued state of the Ziff Davis empire, the United Healthcare shooting suspect's gaming history and what that says about him (mainly nothing) and the mostly positive but sometimes polarizing reaction to Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. We also briefly talk about other news, answer reader questions, and more!   Credits - Hosts: Riley MacLeod, Chris Person - Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude - Subscribe to Aftermath! About The Show Aftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post. Each week, games journalism veterans Luke Plunkett, Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, Riley MacLeod, and Gita Jackson – though not always all at once, because that's too many people for a podcast – break down video game news, Remember Some Games, and learn about Chris' frankly incredible number of special interests. Sometimes we even bring on guests from both inside and outside the video game industry! I don't know what else to tell you; it's a great time.

GBP Bugs & AI-Driven Layoff Concern, Sale of CNET & Google, Antitrust Remedy: Impact on Apple & SEO

The Near Memo

Send us a Text Message.Google's Local Business Service Woes: Persistent Bugs and AI-Driven Layoffs Spark Concern:  There have been ongoing support and technical issues with Google Business Profiles. Major bugs affecting local business profiles have persisted for months and in several cases years, including image misassignments and overzealous suspension algorithms that remove legitimate reviews. Google's support and engineering teams have struggled to resolve these issues, partly due to significant layoffs aimed at funding AI projects. While Google's local business services might not generate significant revenue for Google, they are crucial for the company's differentiation in the market. Is Google killing the goose by milking traditional resources for income and not investing enough to stay ahead of the competition. CNET's Future Under Ziff Davis: Challenges and Google Opportunities/Difficulties Post-Sale:  Red Ventures recently sold CNET to Ziff Davis for around $100 million, a significant loss from the $500 million purchase price. Despite Red Ventures' strong SEO and digital product expertise, CNET struggled due to aggressive content strategies and controversies over AI-generated content. CNET, once a trusted tech review site, saw its reputation and traffic decline. Factors like Google's increased emphasis on shopping ads and affiliate revenue pressures contributed to CNET's struggles. The sale to Ziff Davis is viewed as a positive move, but the site's recovery remains uncertain and tracking whether CNET can recover in the SERPS is worth following to see if a well managed, strong domain with good content can overcome Google's algorithmic whims. Google's Antitrust Remedies: Implications for Apple, Mozilla, and the SEO Landscape:  What will the repercussions of Google's recent antitrust liability be?. The potential remedies, such as breaking up Google, ending exclusive default search deals with Apple, and implementing data-sharing practices, all have limits and issues. The big question will be the impact on Apple and Mozilla if Google's default search deals are prohibited. Apple has the potential to develop a robust search engine, considering its existing search index and AI advancements. Perhaps we are seeing the outline of that via Apple's announced relationship with ChatGPT. Given that the settlement could take 4 years and a similar amount of time for Apple to fully implement generative AI across their full user base, changes to the landscape will be slow in coming.  The long-term effects of these potential regulatory changes could impact Google's market dominance. For now and the immediate future, SEO's need not worry as things will change little and when they do it will be slowly.The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.Ep 169Subscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

As a woman in a male-dominated industry, the power of human connection, mentorship, and using one's voice are imperative to navigating challenges in the workplace. Jennifer's “Ah-Ha Moments” during her career involve making pivotal decisions which were influenced by the guidance of mentors, personal values, and the desire to balance a successful career with family responsibilities.
