Good afternoon! Do you watch a lot of TV? I watch a lot of TV
gpt
Oh yeah, probably more than the average person, both network TV and streaming. What do kind of TV you watch a lot of?
human
really anything. I actually love family guy so it's cute to hear that when siouth park aired the family guy episode, the producers got flowerrs from the simpsons crew 
gpt
South Park isn't what it used to be, and I think a lot of that is because it relies on current events and trends for its story arcs, which I think is the result of how quickly content is produced in the age of YouTube and streaming.
human
I totally agree with you. It has been great though, i don't even have cable anymore. I watch most of my TV on Hulu and use Youtube streaming service a lot. 
gpt
Yeah, I don't have cable either because most network television ends up on Hulu anyway, and cable channels ends up putting their content on a platform at some point relatively soon after it first airs.
human
It's crazy but expected that netflix and youtube together make up half of the internet traffic in North America. I'm pretty addicted to netflix myself. 
gpt
I think it's kid of ridiculous that YouTube is trying to get traction in the subscription-based content side of things, right? I think the association with homemade videos and clips is so strong that it'll never be a real competitor for Netflix.
human
Totally agree. My favorite part of youtube is still all the homemade videos and how tos. I use it for everything from makeup tutorials to how to do things around my house. 
gpt
It's my go-to for music videos and clips from shows that I don't really watch regularly. It's kind of a missed opportunity for them that their social networking feature isn't on par with Facebook.
human
Totally. 
gpt
You have to wonder what would have happened if Google had had the opportunity to buy Facebook for $75m like MySpace did and what the landscape of the internet would look like now.
human
Such a bad move by MySpace! BUt there wasn't a way to know that Facebook would end up being valued at 104 billion at their IPo! 
gpt
I don't think MySpace viewed Facebook as an advertising and data-collecting platform (which is what it really is), so their focus on actual media like music probably kept them from seeing where the company was going.
human
*takes a step forward* I agree. I remember when i started using facebook, it was totally different. I didn't know that if you unfriend 10 people, you get a free whopper at Burger King. That's rpetty hilarious!
gpt
It is. Wouldn't it be cool/kind of messed up if you could get access to certain content on YouTube if you disliked videos?
human
*takes a step forward* I think so! I didn't realize Justin Bieber's baby is th most disliked video. I mean i definitely dont like it but i don't hate it THAT much. 
gpt
I wonder if as strategies are linked to total views or likes and dislikes? That would make sense, wouldn't it?
human
I think so. I think that even having the most dislikes indicates some level of popularity and some level of success. 
gpt
Yeah, any opinion demonstrates that people are paying attention, which is what advertisers want. I'm sure that's how Facebook determines its ad pricing strategies.
human
I'm sure. Plus they are so popular globaly which helps. THey even have countries rewriting their constitution leveraging facebook to encourage people to participate. the reach of this platform is so crazy!
gpt
*relaxed posture* Yeah, sometimes American companies develop products that help out other countries more than us! I have to go now, nice chatting!
human
Have a great day! 
gpt
You too!
