Such a brilliant essay. I want to see all of these

In 2024, film and TV grappled with death. The result was comforting

The most effective editing move is still the one I stole from George Saunders: read your draft over and over and over again, out loud, until you have to fix the bad parts because you will literally die if you have to read them more time

I find TTD's product marketing strategy when it comes to anything outside of their traditional DSP tooling to essentially be:
Our differentiator is that we got a bunch of holdco/brand $$$, so get on board.
And I think this is probably the correct call?
