Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 32, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. This week, I’ve been writing about AI search engines and the future of Disney Plus, reading about Anne Hathaway and Andrew Huberman and Jonathan Kanter, talking productivity apps with the WVFRM crew, continuing to watch every “how they made Dune” video I can get my hands on, listening to the Black Box podcast, and learning what The Format is and how to apply it to every aspect of my life.
Then, I realized all the clips were actually on YouTube, and that way, I wouldn’t need to worry about TikTok destroying my brain. After a few weeks, I started running out of Pawn Stars clips and YouTube suggested Antiques Roadshow clips, which I loved. One of the most famous Antiques Roadshow clips involves an older army veteran receiving an absurd estimate on his Rolex, and I LOVED that.
