Isn't this the result for, like, everything? Every issue, every question that begins, "Do you support President Trump..."

I was watching a video on Spotify today and I realized… that I was watching a video on Spotify. It has become a platform for music + audiobooks + podcasts + now, podcasts with video. It’s the everything platform.

I love the New York Times, but I worry that it sometimes is so good that it hurts local journalism. For example, today it gave me, automatically, my local freeze estimates. It’s another reason I have less incentive to check local media.
