Messaging isn't dialogue; you'll never understand people if you don't listen

Quote

it's messaging. It's not, um, so they, they sort of package up a message and then send it to the audience. It's not a dialogue.

Summary

Legacy media packages up a message and sends it to the audience, telling them what to think. Dave says it isn't a dialogue, so you'll never understand why people behave as they do, voting or anything else. Podcasting is different: you're giving your opinion, not passing messages, which is how politicians and car salesmen talk.

    You're telling the audience what to think. You'll never understand why people's people exhibit the behaviors they do, whether it's voting or anything

    Yeah, you're you're not passing messages here. You know, you're not you're not message passing, you're just like giving your opinion.
