Silicon Valley has become increasingly interested in an indigenous Amazonian frog drug called Kambo to treat a range of physical and mental ailments from chronic pain to cancer – though there’s no scientific evidence supporting any claims. Unlike other amphibian poison drugs, it’s not a psychedelic. It just makes you purge out both ends for up to an hour. Many insist the extreme cleanse can also make them better at their jobs, so it’s catching up quick in the tech world.

The streaming revolution has taken TV news to new heights. Streaming offers the ability to watch news on demand anywhere.
Streaming also reduces the scarcity factor in the media equation. As more and more people turn to streaming services, broadcast news organizations are looking to repurpose their programming for this audience.
Historically, television news has been a lucrative business. But a new wave of competition is threatening to disrupt the industry.
Broadcast and cable networks are making their first forays into streaming. These companies have put hundreds of millions of dollars into streaming operations. They’ve done so with the hope of reaping a big reward.
A recent survey revealed that the majority of Americans have at least one streaming service. Some believe this is a sign that viewers are shunning broadcast news in favor of streaming.
According to a report, the most popular free news streamer has attracted over 1.5 million subscribers. Their goal is to lure viewers to cut the cord.
Several free news streamers are using similar tactics to cable. For instance, a recent study found that the most popular news streamer was the one with the longest news report.
Despite the popularity of the free news streamer, however, the streaming revolution has not been without its fair share of criticism. Some have claimed that free news streamers are simply telling viewers that they can cut their cable subscriptions. Others claim that the streaming industry has been overhyped.
