One Powerful Quote:
6:53: “Everything’s changed, but nothing’s changed because, while the mediums have become more sophisticated and the content is allowed to be more sort of casual, we still yearn for community at home and in club. The way we create and the way we publish has completely evolved, but we’re still all looking for the exact same thing.”
