Yes but also think of it as 'generates content from 11-2pm PT, with each hour giving 12+ small clips that have the chance to be shared, go viral, etc.'

this is the correct answer. the stream is just the production process, not the full product.

It's CNBC for Silicon Valley - a combination of good background noise, a broad survey of what people are talking about around the valley, and occasionally really great interviews.

They get a lot of guests to do interviews that they wouldn't do elsewhere, in part because they are unabashedly and unapologetically cheerleaders - pro-tech, pro-VC, pro-startup, pro-Big-Tech, etc. They don't grill you like an old-school journalist would about whatever the latest political controversy is, they ring a giant gong when their guest brings up a cool traction or fundraising number.

I would never use it as my only source of news for what's going on in tech, but with a lot of other tech journalism covering the downsides or problems with the industry, there is definitely a niche for them.

Some ideas.

1- That's roughly around lunch break, including central time and to a lesser extent ET. 2- Lots of people put podcasts in the background, while coding, running, cooking, eating. Especially with airpod-like products. 3- Lots of people watch the clips/highlights and go to the source if needed. It's more a format where the unedited version is posted because technology allows it, which ends up as more transparent than just publishing the edit. In journalism a lot can go on in an edit.

I don't think anyone is rawdogging the 3 hours without any multitasking

Like most streaming, it's what is referred to as "second monitor content". You have it on in the background.
