It’s harder to get a job as an e-commerce livestream host this year, and the average salary for livestream hosts in China went down 20% compared to 2022, according to the analytics firm iiMedai Research.
Maybe all the influencers can be AI and all the product-spamming bots can go in their comments section and the digital ads can display on that page to that audience and we can all go back to growing tomatoes and playing the piano for each other

The Internet version of QVC or Home Shopping Network that previous generations used to watch.
TBH, I could see a viable angle in livestream-style QVC… with the proviso that the presenters are usefully interactive.
“Can you turn to the side so I can see how the shirt you’re selling shirt looks from that angle” or “what do those four buttons on the doodad do?” It’s approaching the experience of a store with helpful salespeople, only delivered remotely a la peak pandemic.
But that wouldn’t scale to a huge audience, likely filled with trolls trying to convince the streamer to do something lewd or destructive.
The next US election cycle is going to be all kinds of interesting. Maybe it doesn’t end with war like The Terminator or The Matrix. Maybe it ends in an election.

I’ll rephrase: the next election in [YOUR COUNTRY HERE] is going to be interesting. You’re welcome!
Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos.
