I don't know what everyone has been complaining about with the algorithm and the reach. In this experiment there are a ton of people who see a random meaningless tweet of mine and they're the kind of people that I want them to see my tweets: https://t.co/AgPoAPcaNK https://t.co/dU6rTU0OyH

Had a great time back with @nickgillespie chatting about “social media addiction” and what these cases are really about
“As for social media ‘addiction’ there literally is no such thing. No diagnosis for that. Social media is not remotely the same as alcohol, nicotine, or heroin. There is no such thing as ‘dopamine hits’ which is merely pseudo-science sounding...
One thing about the whole “social media addiction” campaign from Heritage and all the other far right fundamentalist groups, is that they’re openly bragging about how they’ll use these “kids online safety” legal precedents/laws to censor LGBTQ ppl off the...
Netflix raised prices again. I went through all five stages in about four minutes. Outrage, indignation, a brief google of "cancel Netflix," a moment of genuine pause, and then I remembered I want the next Bridgerton season so there is...

I'm not sure I get the "but how will young reporters learn to aggregate?" arguments here. Everyone who's ever done aggregation hated it, and there were reporters before aggregation became a thing
Fantastic work here. Social media algorithms polarize us. And it turns out better algorithms can do the opposite.
Music Labels Turn to “Clippers” to Manufacture Fake Viral Buzz at Scale “Clipping” is a viral marketing tactic where teams flood social platforms with content to fake organic virality Labels and agencies hire ‘clippers’ to mass-post memes, clips, and content across TikTok,...
I'm convinced the "yap era" of social content is not a trend... It's a course correction. People got tired of over-produced content that felt empty (and WAY too tech bro-y). They want real information, real stories, from real people.

Here is the real story, Netflix has raised prices faster than inflation, making it more expensive in real terms. If prices had only kept up with inflation, the standard plan in 2026 would be around $11.86 Instead, it’s $19.99.
Are you a consumer or a creator? The answer explains a lot about why some people build audiences and others don't. Creators use the same platforms and tools as everyone else. The difference is what they do with them. You don't need inspiration...

Scoop: I obtained Business Insider's internal subscription figures for the last several years—and the data shows that not only is the digital outlet struggling to grow its subscriber base, but that it is actually sliding backwards.
So that’s pretty cool. Silver play button just showed up. 100k subscribers is indeed a milestone I won’t forget. https://t.co/IJImiNQgxd
