Jemal Countess/Getty Images for IFP The NYT interviewed Netflix's co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, amid big changes at the company. He discussed the likely impending advertising model with the outlet.  "For us, it was all about simplicity... I think it can now withstand some complexity," he told the outlet. There's been a lot going on at Netflix, from layoffs to a market rout , and the plan is that there will soon be more : a lower-price, ad-supported subscription option, which Netflix's co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, discussed in a recent interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.  "For us, it was all about simplicity of one product, one price point," Sarandos told Dowd. However, "I think it can now withstand some complexity," he added to the outlet. Netflix had pushed back against an advertising model for years and focused on subscribers. Dowd asked Sarandos if he thought the lack of diverse revenue sources hurt the company of late.

The EU is planning a complete ban on Russian oil imports. iznashih/Getty Images Energy stocks are dominating the list of new highs in the S&P 500 as oil prices approach 2008 levels. Investor appetite for energy stocks has increased as profits surge higher for the sector. The new highs could continue as travel demand heats up over the summer months and as supply remains constrained. While the S&P 500 struggles to recover its year-to-date losses of about 13%, one sector continues to surge to multiyear highs: energy.

Despite economic turmoil in the tech world, an Oakland-based startup shows that moonshots are still getting funded. Felt, co-founded by Sam Hashemi and Can Duruk , wants to disrupt the role of maps in society, and rethink how we think about the medium. The startup allows users to build a map with datasets integrated into it, and work with each other to showcase impact in a less static way than your average Google maps query. Despite a massive mission — proving that maps are a forgotten yet fundamental medium worth renovating — the co-founders cited proven business models from Figma and Notion, both valued in the billions, as reason to believe in their work. The aforementioned companies both succeeded in rolling out to users for personal use, then pivoting to the enterprise, a playbook that Felt wants to follow (and that VCs can certainly speak the language of). “That kind of business model and go to market is — I don’t want to say immune, but is a little bit removed from the kind o
