Here's a free startup pitch, one I'm 100% sure we'll see soon: sharing economy app for media, news, and streaming subscriptions.
-
You might say "but don't people just share these things with friends?" but startupland has proven millennials don't have friends.
-
Personally can't wait for the op-ed on why sharing your WSJ subscription via automated browser plugin is immoral.
-
Factors: prices go up, the flow of information continues to be blocked out, private browsing getting blocked, ads getting worse, geo locking, and ad campaigns that are centered around "you need to know" while benefits to subscribers increase and salaries do not.
-
Future: As subscription sharing explodes, an easier to use version comes out where you just pay a little bit and get Spotify-level unlimited subscription access for all. We have stuff like this already, but the transition from light criminal tools to legal ones will be the push.
-
can not wait for media to be "disrupted" all over again
-
There are too many subscription products out there in the world, aggregation portals are inevitable.
-
I should just build this now so one day Justin Timberlake can portray me in a film saying "you know what's cooler than a billion dollars? A trillion dollars."
-
"you know what's hotter than red hot? the surface of the sun oh yeah" "you know what's better than a court hearing? a congressional investigation" "you know what's better than breaking the law? making the law"
-
Ready for my star turn now.
-
Like the music industry, media could work together to get ahead of this, but they won't.
-
Aram's second rule of the internet: the more of a dick you are about allowing people access to your content the more likely someone will build a tool to allow the masses to steal it en-masse, cooperatively.
-
This is why the ad supported model will never go away btw.

Oh god I just realized someone will launch this with a Medium post about how in the wonderful olden times people purchased newspapers, read them, and then passed them on to their friends and left them on bus seats.
