  • iHeartMedia plays artists that they own, either record contract or catalogue.

    When I lived in the UK my local gym always had the same shitty radio station on and I was like “Why do they keep playing these artists? I almost never hear them on BBC” and it turned out to be because the owners of the radio station also owned those artists. Vertical integration baby!





  • One problem metric solved was that each country had their own value for inch, mile, pound etcetera. This is partially fixed by everyone but the US going to metric. But I highly encourage everyone to ask “Okay, but is that a Swedish mile, nautical mile, Roman mile, or Chinese mile?” whenever miles comes up with Americans. Similar for inches, feet, and so on.
