We examine Netflix Nigeria’s third subscription fee bump in fourteen months and the increasing digital censorship that threatens creators across East Africa.
Love the tidbit about vodcasts in Kenya. So crazy how it's in line with global trends too. An audio medium evolving into an audiovisual medium was never on my bingo card. Which makes me wonder why audiences prefer to watch something rather than listen to it? I'm waffling here but audio is my favourite medium so trends in the format always interest me. All I will say is that my assumptions about podcasts were all incorrect, which is humbling. I really thought audio would do better because it's cheaper to produce and cheaper to distribute and consume but I was wrong. This makes me think is this the second and true pivot to video? It's giving video killed the Radio Star. This was way to long but it's something I think about.

I assumed audio would do better too, so I’m in your boat here.
