'again'

No Tina films can legally exist, and it's disingenuous to keep asking now that it's firmly established as my IP. I will never change my mind, Paddy and others that wish I'd do episode I to 'introduce' me to the NZ TV audience. Frankly, there's no reason to do that: the TV audience mainly watches reality shows, and only Jack Tame actually gets a decent viewership for something deeper. I can reach the same number of people that watch scripted NZ streaming content via a Facebook ad.


- Couldn't find any publicly available numbers, so I'm going to presume that the potential audience is probably something like a few thousand people. That's why it's unavailable.


Just bloody interview me, media pros: that's the best way to introduce me, and then we can talk on-air about the Dakumentary. - This, Paddy, is why I'm famous. Social media is a broadcast medium, and I'm a digital native that adapted years ahead of you lot. Gary was telling me that the journos can't seem to get an audience on social media without the mastheads to back them up...


I'm not even like a particularly comfortable digital native - see Machine Fatigue - but the Internet is second nature to me.

As an experiment, give me a couple of months with an actual budget for ads ($1,000 per ad), and see what happens.
