Weekly Subscription News: AI, VR and Leaving Twitter

Featuring Peacock, NPR, YouTube and h3h3

In addition to the daily news articles we reported this week, there are plenty of subscription stories to tell. Perhaps the hottest is NPR leaving Twitter, after Twitter marked them as “government funded media.” Also this week, Google TV added free streaming channels including Tubi, Peacock launched on Meta Quest VR, and Rent the Runway sees a rise in revenue and subscribers.
