Netflix (the streaming giant) is still killing it with hit shows, but ex-NBC exec Tom Rogers says YouTube is stealing the spotlight.
🚨 Breaking News:
Tom Rogers, once a Netflix superfan, is now worried: YouTube’s growing engagement is a serious threat to Netflix's dominance.
⚡Wire Simplified:
YouTube now gets 13% of monthly TV viewership; Netflix is at 8%
Netflix's engagement per user has dipped, not great for future growth
AI could help Netflix lower costs, but also helps YouTube creators look more pro
Netflix stock is down 11% since its June high, despite solid earnings
Rogers says engagement, not earnings, is the real game-changer
✔️Straight to the Point:
Netflix still rules in content, but YouTube’s free, AI-boosted creator world is making it harder to keep viewers hooked

UnitedHealth, America’s biggest private health insurer, is in hot water. CEO Stephen Hemsley has to clean up a Medicare mess.
🚨 Breaking News:
After a rough quarter and a CEO shake-up, UnitedHealth will report earnings this week and everyone’s watching closely.
⚡Wire Simplified:
Stock dropped nearly 50% since May, worst year in over a decade
Medicare billing troubles triggered DOJ investigations and a leadership change
Key focus is their 2025 guidance, analysts expect $21.26/share
Optum Health (their doctor group) profits plunged due to new Medicare billing rules (V28)
Some think the damage may last 1 to 2 years before recovery
✔️Straight to the Point:
UnitedHealth’s troubles aren’t just numbers, they reflect deeper issues in how healthcare profits are structured and regulated

Any pre-seed or seed investor that turns down the chance to meet a founder cos they don’t like “the space” they are in; doesn’t get this business.
Markets change, products change, people remain.
At this stage, the only thing that matters is people. 100%.
