Who’s actually shaping culture in 2026? 👀 ⁠ ⁠ The Affinity 100, a new ranking from us here at What’s Trending and media cartographer Evan Shapiro, sponsored by Whalar Group, looks beyond follower counts to spotlight the creators with the strongest audience connection and cultural impact. ⁠ ⁠ The takeaway? Influence isn’t just about reach, it’s about affinity. 🔥 ⁠ ⁠ Head to the link in our bio to see the full ranking. 14 Sep 2026 The @spacex IPO Rocket is really just a Palm Pilot. Bc AI is the new DotCom. 🧾🧾 in ☣️ feat. @google @elonmusk STARLINK @nasdaq 11 Aug 2026 The “Yindie Film” movement is here. feat. @curry.barker @kanepixels @markiplier @starwars @a24 @focusfeatures @inoxtag @youtube 01 Jun 2026 Over the last 3 years, across 376 films, the major and indie movie studios, collectively, saw a negative ROI in the theatrical window. Only @a24 saw a modestly positive ROI in theaters - and that was driven predominantly by one YouTuber movie: Backrooms by @kanepixels. Spider-Man Brand New Day generated a 210% ROI. @disney’s Mandalorian & Grogu produced a negative -39% return. Conversely, Yindie Film (YouTube Indie) Backrooms generated a 3825% ROI and @curry.barker’s Yindie Obsession returned 69711% on its original investment. That’s not a typo. Most often for feature film, a huge share of revenues and MOST of the profit are made AFTER the movie leaves theaters. Yindie filmmakers have managed to produce better returns IN theaters and better ROI in the cinematic afterlife. I’m at @americanfilmmarket all week. To celebrate I just dropped a new report THE WHOLE MOVIE: a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the feature film business. Creators aren’t disrupting The Movies - they’re reinventing them. To see the difference, hit the link in my bio. 09 Nov 2026 WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A @jubileemedia VIDEO??? Evan and Jamie talk with Jubilee CEO, @jasonylee_ , about the behind the scenes nature of the social media giant. How many employees do they have? How did they decide on the kinds of locations they film in? And much more. The latest episode of The Media Odyssey is available everywhere NOW! #podcast #themediaodyssey #jubilee #jubileemedia #jubileevideo #medianews #mediaexpert 08 Nov 2026 YEAR ON YEAR VIOLENCE The November 2026 Universe is now live at the link in my bio.

Let me know what you find. 08 Nov 2026 THE TOP 3 BIG THEMES IN THE 2026 MIDTERMS I dug into the data to find universal themes in the historic, widespread results across all the regions of the US. Not inflation. Not Iran. Not Immigration. My big 3 themes: Corruption Anti-Ai-Tech-Broligarch Backlash A massive Generational Power Shift to Millennials and Gen Z 07 Nov 2026 Is Hollywood Dying? All the vital signs show that the Gatekeeper Era of media is over. The idea that rich men in LA and London will dictate what audiences watch is officially dead. We are now in the User Centric Era. Audiences control what, where, how they watch — and the underlying economics around it. But… Hollywood isn’t dying. It’s transforming. Let me explain. In this video. And next Tuesday at the summit at @americanfilmmarket And on a livestream - link in bio. 06 Nov 2026 WHY @jubileemedia CHOSE YOUTUBE AS THEIR PRIMARY PLATFORM...

The latest episode of The Media Odyssey is available NOW wherever you get your podcasts! #podcast #themediaodyssey #jubilee #jubileemedia #jubileevideo #medianews #mediaexpert 06 Nov 2026 HOW DID @jubileemedia COME TO BE???

The show’s premise is a literal and ideological setup: one central figure sits in a hot seat in the middle of a warehouse room, physically surrounded by a circle of 20 to 25 people who completely disagree with their viewpoints. The central guest faces the circle for an extended, continuous session — often lasting 1 to 2 hours. Members of the outer circle of opposing debaters step up to a microphone or an adjacent chair one at a time to challenge the central guest on specific arguments, policy points, or cultural beliefs. There is no traditional host, anchor, or teleprompter controlling the flow. The participants are left to manage their own civil boundaries, micro-debates, and conversational pacing. Notable and important figures from both ends of the ideological spectrum have braved the format. The premiere episode with Charlie Kirk has been viewed more than 47 million times. The Dean Withers episode has 21 million views. The Medhi Hasan episode has 18 million views. I personally believe that James Talarico won his nomination for the senate seat he just won in large part due to his excellent appearance on the show. The sessions definitely get heated, but never, unlike “professional” debates turn into silly or childish screaming matches. Both sides get their allotted time and both points of view actually (get this) get heard. The show is produced for next to nothing. It’s shot in a warehouse with zero set. The shows usually last an hour or more and have hundreds of millions of views from a young and diverse audience — 85% of the show’s viewers are 35 or younger — contradicting the myth about the attention spans of Millennials and Gen Z. The company behind this groundbreaking and enlightening format is @jubileemedia: a digital programming powerhouse that has transformed social video into a global, cross-screen community of Gen Z and Millennials. This week on The Media Odyssey Podcast, we were lucky to interview Jubilee’s founder, @jasonylee_ Link to full convo in bio. 05 Nov 2026
