Casey’s is interesting, good at the stories pre-occupying users more than investors. Glad he’s having a big moment right now with Twitter. His coverage of Basecamp last year was good. What I find with Thompson is that his big public stories have the problems you describe, but the paid content is succinct and pulling in the best parts of news stories. I’d almost rather have the option to skip the big stories and receive everything else. I also like the interviews, though recently I’ve been amused by how often the same guest appears on Nilay Patel’s podcast in the same week. (They are as well and discussed it on each other’s podcasts together.) I’m quick to skip ads, so the listening experience is similar. My perhaps uncharitable guess is that the user who started this discussion doesn’t have any need of analysis in their job, or isn’t busy enough to benefit from a paid news filter. But I’m still hoping to hear from them.
