good article! you are defo right to worry about how 1440 doubling down on evergreen explainers is doubling down on the single most AI-replaceable format. that's the soft spot in the bull case

What do you think is the secret sauce to maintaining their ratio of $1mm per employee? That seems like a north star for any business, especially a media company.

It’s the most impressive part to me too. The fact that they’re maintaining it on the dot is probably a coincidence but they’ve cracked sales. By my measure their ad inventory is filled 80%+ of the time. Thats the secret sauce I’d love to learn as well
