    RECEIPT #MIKE-R

    OCT 31, 2024

    Story still evolving.

    PREDICTION BY

    Mike Reed
    “The more scale we have, the bigger our opportunity is, but what becomes even more important is actually engagement because that drives enhanced monetization beyond just the scale of our audience.”

    FOLLOW-UP

    Reed argued that Gannett’s large audience creates more value when engagement turns that reach into revenue. A year later, the company still reported substantial scale (187 million average monthly unique visitors in Q3 2025) alongside digital advertising, subscription, and marketing-platform revenue. That supports the strategy’s direction, but it does not yet prove the longer-term monetization outcome, so the call remains evolving.

    PREDICTION BY

    Scott Galloway
    “Meta has been keeping its third horse in the barn for years, but there’s dormant upside in a platform with 3 billion users that will soon stir. 2024 is the year the Xenomorph Internecivus Raptus bursts from Meta’s abdomen.”

    FOLLOW-UP

    WhatsApp introduced new business tools, expanded payments, and piloted/rolled out ads in statuses in 2024-2025, contributing to Meta's revenue growth.
