I have to confess I don’t really understand how some of the biggest advertisers out there - jeez, every other TV commercial or billboard is about one TV show or another - can be said to be *assuming* that consumers will come to them. Seems to me they are and have been trying very hard and spending a lot of money to get them to come.
That’s true, Rob — but I think Quincy was talking about assuming that viewers will want to go to a site like Innertube to get content, as opposed to wanting to get it in other ways.

Well, Quincy is also an old skool dotcom survivor, so he’s not going to think like old media.
