You are correct on both counts: LinkedIn is going to produce original television shows, and you don't understand.

I think this is the wrong direction for them. Imagine if they started letting people live stream their work day like in The Circle

That way you can compare experiences like surreptitiously vaping in the bathroom at different companies if you're looking for a change of pace

I love all these streaming companies competing to stream lovely Thursday night NFL games that simultaneously air on CBS.

(Even though the last few have actually been oddly good)

LinkedIn thinks it's Facebook or Twitter or some poo poo.

And even those companies suck.

LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner says they are not pivoting to video as several social media and news media outlets have recently done, but the company is open to buying and developing original shows.

The Microsoft-owned social network for business professionals may join Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Video in producing their very own programming or streaming sports content, Weiner�said Friday at The Information Subscriber’s Summit in San Francisco. He noted that shows similar to ABC’s “Shark Tank” could potentially do very well with its business and networking minded users.

“We’re certainly open to the idea of original content and at some point would be very interested in exploring that with various publishers,” Weiner said. “We think there’s a real opportunity there.”

Although LinkedIn only began letting users post video to the social network in August, Weiner said the move to create its own programming could dramatically increase engagement as well as boosting subscription revenue. The potential move comes as Silicon Valley tech giants such as Apple are reportedly dropping $1 billion in pursuit of original content in the next year.

Weiner also expressed interest in pursuing deals with professional sports leagues such as the NFL or NBA. He noted there’s currently “a lot of demand for it,” that could easily be translated to LinkedIn’s user base. In April, Amazon reportedly paid out $50 million for streaming rights to 10 NFL games this season – a move that beat out fellow tech rivals Facebook, Google and Twitter.

They're smelling blood now that the Amazon video guy got fired for raping people. I bet he will not be the first of the Hollywood-> Silicon Valley transplants to get shitcanned for gross sex crimes, leaving a big old hole in the market for an ambitious executive to fill and Weiner thinks he's the right man for the job

We brought it upon ourselves. Cable got so big so we wanted a la carte. When we could get mostly a la carte with about 3 different log ins, everyone loving took notice and now they will eventually separate THEIR content onto a unique platform....until 5 years later when someone "Disrupts the internet" (likely an anonymous Comcast subsidiary) and starts aggregating content again for a nominal monthly fee!

Streaming NFL isn't going to save Twitter and it won't do poo poo for LinkedIn, whose directors apparently have no idea what to do with their cash.

Do a buyback or a dividend instead of doing... Original shows wtf?
