This has been on my mind for the last year as meetings have shifted to Zoom. David Foster Wallace in Infinite Jest predicted this future (and what happens next) with startlingly accuracy. Great thread.👇

Been spending time thinking about where the opportunities in video/livestream are in the US. My thesis is that there will be multi-billion dollar winners built in these categories with video at their core: 1) Travel 2) Real estate 3) Toys (& kids more broadly) 4) Food 1/2
