Fox is still finding its footing in the streaming era. It didn't operate its own streaming platform until this past summer, with the launch of Fox ONE, and, unlike Disney and NBCUniversal, it lacks lucrative sports rights that help drive viewership. What Fox does have, though, is Fox News. Roughly one-third of total viewing minutes on Fox ONE come from people consuming news, CEO Lachlan Murdoch told investors during the company's earnings call on Wednesday.

When he first came back, the streaming business had lost $4 billion that year, Iger said, and required massive organizational restructuring to "create more accountability." All that effort seems to have paid off, financially speaking. Last quarter, Disney's SVOD services grew 11% year-over-year to more than $5 billion, driven by growth in both subscription and advertising revenue.

Dear Reader, there are no algorithms at 3QD-just six human editors trying to keep a human-curated corner of the internet alive. But recent changes in Google search and other AI-driven shifts have cut our already modest advertising revenue to less than half of what it was just last year. 3QD remains mainly a labor of love, but we do need enough income to cover basic costs.

The company is in an awkward growth phase. It's a 9-year-old startup and brought in half a billion dollars from July 2024 to July 2025. Wow! But its growth rate is slowing, and there's less urgency from businesses that have implemented new GDPR and privacy practices. Also, an unnoted factor in The Information's report is that OneTrust rocketed out to such early growth thanks in large part to being the recommended privacy partner by Google sell-side account execs.

New Jersey, I think, has really strained the taxation system to its breaking point. We have the highest corporate taxes in the nation right now. Simply looking to fare hikes and taxes is just not an option,

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Atlas, a new AI-powered web browser designed to challenge dominant browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The browser offers users a more seamless way to access information, complete tasks, and interact with digital content without switching tabs or copying and pasting. Atlas aims to serve as a context-aware assistant, capable of understanding user intent and drawing on previous conversations to enhance productivity.

OpenAI said Tuesday it is introducing its own web browser, Atlas, putting the ChatGPT maker in direct competition with Google as more internet users rely on artificial intelligence to answer their questions. Making itself a gateway to online searches could allow OpenAI, the world's most valuable startup, to pull in more internet traffic and the revenue made from digital advertising.

Amazon and Alphabet are two of the biggest companies in the world, ranking as the fifth and fourth largest, respectively. Conventional wisdom states that as these companies become larger, it becomes more difficult for them to grow at a rapid rate. However, both of these companies have put up respectable growth rates that are often quicker than the broader market.
