Here's what we got into today:

• Earnings season is here, and we'll hear from Tesla and Netflix this week. Expect a lot of new data to drop in the coming weeks.
• If we bundle a number of headlines together, it's clear that running a social media company in the modern era can be a very expensive proposition. Though, what you think about regulation may color how you view the situation.
• Funding to web3 gaming companies declined in Q3, but it's not all that bad.
• The U.S. may not see IPOs happening, but the rest of the world is not similarly bereft.
• Creative Force's Series A was too cool to not mention.

Equity will be back Wednesday with a killer episode on all things venture capital in Q3. See you then!
