This week on The St. Louis Podcast, hosts Garrett Atkins and Eric Brown welcome Chris Marsh, co-founder of Dexerto Media Group, for an episode packed with insights into gaming, media, and the challenges of digital culture. Chris shares Dexerto’s journey from its founding to becoming a global leader in esports and gaming content, highlighting key milestones, SEO strategies, and the company’s approach to merging gaming with mainstream media.
The conversation also dives into the darker side of gaming culture, discussing the growing issue of gambling addiction tied to Counter-Strike skins and the impact it’s having on young gamers. Chris offers his perspective on how platforms like Twitch are losing advertisers, the rise of IRL (in real life) streaming, and the evolving relationship between creators and audiences.
The hosts also tackle broader tech topics, including Mark Zuckerberg’s community notes initiative and how it’s shaping social media discourse. From Dexerto’s future plans to navigating challenges in digital content creation, this episode explores the intersection of gaming, media, and culture in today’s fast-paced world.
Whether you’re a gamer, content creator, or entrepreneur, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the inner workings of the gaming industry and the forces shaping its future.
