This episode of Disconnected covers:
Ticketmaster and Oasis’ problematic surge pricing, and how to solve the issue
Twitter/X’s ban in Brazil, and whether it’s still worth $44bn
An update on Crowdstrike’s continuing woes since their crisis
The AI pizza recipe
Episode Highlights:
“Oasis made a big thing of the announcement of how much tickets would be, so how can you do that and then say ‘they might be different by the time you get to the front of the queue’?” - 7:00 - Jen Campbell
“They're called the cheap seats and the nosebleeds for a reason - they should be cheap, but they're not anymore. So that's not good, but we've kind of caused this…” - 8:30 - Jag Sharma
“Every single month, there’s something going on with Elon. He’s just out there for a fight.” - 17:20 - Felina Tan
“Crowdstrike’s situation is one to keep an eye on, because it's still doing reputational damage for CrowdStrike. Interestingly, Microsoft isn’t really getting touched by it.” - 29:30 - Jen Campbell
