Welcome to another episode! Today we gather together to mourn (and maybe point and laugh at) the life and times of Yahoo Screen.
We start (00:00) by talking about the July of dreams with Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1, Barbie, and Oppenheimer’s impending releases and the success of the product marketing strategies of each. We also give an update on the WGA and the SAG-AFTRA strike watch before moving on to today’s topic.
In All Hands (00:00), we set the scene of streaming in 2011, and dive into the history and highlights of Yahoo! Screen, discussing the very sus decisions of the multiple CEOs and their shoddily named services (à la Yahoo! View) on the way (00:00).
In Missed Objectives and Key Results (00:00), we investigate the weaknesses and lowlights of Yahoo! Screen, and then consider multiple factors to make a final ruling on what causes the death (Was it self-inflicted or WAS IT MURDER?!) of the short-lived streaming service (00:00).
In Final Thoughts (00:00), we tie it all back to the state of the union iof streaming in 2023 and the risks the novel experiment is facing today.
So stick around and bid adieu to a semi-real one with us.
