    Netflix’s head of ad sales is leaving.

    Jeremi Gorman, who joined Netflix from Snap last year, is departing the company, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Shortly after Gorman left Snap, Netflix launched its ad-supported tier, which had nearly 5 million global monthly active users as of May. Gorman will be replaced by Amy Reinhard, who has been at Netflix for seven years.

    Netflix also made two big promotions: Elizabeth Stone has become its chief technology officer, while Eunice Kim is now the company’s chief product officer. (Greg Peters, who became a co-CEO of Netflix earlier this year, was once the company’s CPO.)

    More layoffs at Twitch.

    The job cuts hit Twitch’s customer experience organization, according to GamesIndustry.biz. Amazon cut “just over” 400 jobs at Twitch earlier this year. Zach Bussey, who covers Twitch closely, says Tuesday’s cuts are “significantly smaller” than that round of layoffs.

    A gaming chair they’ll have to peel you out of.

    Secret Lab made a gaming chair that’s themed around Fortnite’s humanoid banana Peeley. Maybe this is where Peeley unwinds after a day in court.

    Does Peeley like to eat bananas?

    Yoel Roth and Linda Yaccarino made the end of Code... interesting, to say the least.

    Roth, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety, was a late add to the agenda, and that meant two of the last sessions of the event were a kind of meta conversation about Twitter’s past and X’s future.

    Catch clips of both interviews and some of my thoughts in our video recapping the interviews, and you can read more real-time thoughts in our storystream. If you want to watch the interviews yourself, virtual passes are available here right now.

    Google is opening up its generative AI-powered search to teens.

    Beginning “this week,” Google says that teens in the US that are using a Google account will be able to access the company’s Search Generative Experience through Search Labs. It’s also adding an “about this result” tool for SGE and making improvements to help its AI models detect and deal with searches with a “false or offensive premise.”

    Since the product’s launch in May, Google has been steadily adding features and improvements.

    Linda Yaccarino says she hasn’t seen Elon Musk’s “demon mode” described in Walter Isaacson’s book.

    She mostly talked about the value of spirited debate, but did say this: “All I’m saying is that the the idea of the inability to have a debate or feedback, I haven’t experienced or I’ll say I haven’t experienced it yet.”

    “Who wouldn’t want Elon Musk sitting by their side running product?”

    An actual question Linda Yaccarino has posed to the audience. Not me!

    Linda Yaccarino is not confirming if the company plans to go to an all-subscription model.

    She’s completely dodged Julia Boorstin’s question about if everyone will be charged to use X.
