Maggie Haberman / New York Times:
Since 2016, Trump moved from giving a large number of TV interviews to relying more on an “I type, you listen” Twitter presence, a stage he tightly controlled — Mr. Trump became a celebrity through television, but Twitter had given him a singular outlet for expressing himself as he is …

@cameronwilson: This really hits the cross-section of my interests: online right ecosystem x media x platform incentives https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: “His politics have been guided by platform metrics,” @AndrewGauthier tells @benyt. Gauthier was speaking about the MAGA troll Baked Alaska, but the quote can be applied to so many others as well. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@rmac18: Live streaming may not be as valuable for a national outlet. But for individuals, it's invaluable, constant connection. It's why these idiots broadcast themselves doing crimes last week. They can't help themselves.
Dean Haddix / @doctor_eon: Who could have seen this coming? Who, I wonder. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: “If you haven't had the experience of posting something that goes truly viral, you may not understand its emotional attraction.

Ellen K.

Nick Martin / @nickmartin: Ben Smith reckons with the fact that BuzzFeed used to employ Tim Gionet (aka “Baked Alaska"), who went on to become a neo-Nazi and was part of the group that stormed the US Capitol. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Joe Bernstein / @bernstein: Baked Alaska, who I've written about in the context of Milo Yiannopoulos, is a type - unmoored, not too bright, highly neurotic, vaguely aggrieved, obsessed with virality - who I think we'll associate with the 2010s https://twitter.com/...
Will Carless / @willcarless: This, by @benyt is a thoughtful and intelligent look at a bizarre moment in our history. Of the melange of ideologies present on Wednesday, the cult of ego was perhaps the most pervasive. https://twitter.com/...
James Poniewozik / @poniewozik: This @benyt column is fascinating and horrifying and just makes me sad for the world, though not for the guy involved https://www.nytimes.com/...
Conz Preti / @conz: Loved reading this. LOVED. Also loved reporting Baked Alaska to the police as I saw his livestream. https://twitter.com/...

Patricia Sauthoff / @gitagovinda: Imagine getting a job for this. “Once, he poured a gallon of milk on his face and a clip of it drew millions of views, back when mostly harmless stunts amused millions of American viewers on the platform.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jeremy Gordon / @jeremypgordon: I know the answer is probably very simple but I still wonder about what happened to BuzzFeed Benny to transform him from online, “fun” conservative to blood and soil MAGA lifer. Could've read another column on that alone https://twitter.com/...
Elon Green / @elongreen: But his interest was indeed journalism. The problem is that most conservative journalism is indistinguishable from propaganda https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Hamza Shaban / @hshaban: “Gionet's story isn't quite the familiar one of a lonely young man in his bedroom...It's the story of a man being rewarded for being a violent white nationalist, and getting the attention and affirmation that he's apparently desperate for.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

Jason Goldman / @goldman: Great column, great quote. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Hannah Gais / @hannahgais: among other things, I think this hits the nail on the head with regards to what made Gionet's stream in the Capitol so surreal. he seemed more gleeful he was going viral; meanwhile, the people in the superchats were shouting odes to The Turner Diaries. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Walter Isaacson / @walterisaacson: Wow. @benyt is very good. https://twitter.com/...
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: this is an important piece of the bigger story. there is not 1 way to make an extremist. 1 thing the violent mob on weds showed is that there are a # of different types of people motivated to storm that building. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@azi: “He first put a Bernie Sanders portrait on his desk, two former colleagues said. Then, he moved on to wearing MAGA hats...” https://www.nytimes.com/...
@jessienyc: Bit of an understatement here @benyt + not for lack of warning from lots of us: “While we were refining the new practice of social media at BuzzFeed, we were slow to realize that the far right was watching closely and eventually imitating us.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Nicholas Dawes / @nicdawes: “His politics have been guided by platform metrics” https://twitter.com/...
Kelsey D. Atherton / @athertonkd: Not sure this whole “at my old job, we hired two fascists to do webby spectacle and they used those skills to do webby fascism instead of webby journalism” story is as thoughtful and detached as it aims to be. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@the_rewm: Sure, most did not turn out to be white nationalists, but *many* people in both news and entertainment followed signals on social media without any scruple, fully exhausting a lot of good, thoughtful editors in the process and causing harm in a lot of different ways
@rmac18: Something worth re-examining in @benyt's latest piece is the role of live streaming. BuzzFeed News moved away from it as the platforms slashed incentives but the white nationalists that learned that here continued to do so as a brand exercise. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Steadman&trade / @asteadwesley: assumption can be that these ppl are ideologically rigid and destitute. often times they're middle class white men seeking camaraderie thru the oldest of playbooks: exclusion and violence https://www.nytimes.com/...
Katie Notopoulos / @katienotopoulos: Not mentioned here is one of the only true acts of journalism B*ked Al*ska did was screenshotting and leaking BuzzFeed Slack chats showing employees expressing disappointment in election night 2016 to iirc Daily Caller? https://www.nytimes.com/...
Heidi Legg / @heidilegg: “To me, this story is about something different, a sort of social media power that we helped sharpen at BuzzFeed that can exert an almost irresistible gravitational pull.” @benyt. Former colleague at Buzzfeed storms the Capitol. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Brian Ries / @moneyries: Just realized @BuzzFeed was the original hype house https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Eric Michael Garcia / @ericmgarcia: If Dr. Frankenstein were to ever reflect on what he had wrought, I imagine it would read a lot like @benyt's column on Baked Alaska. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@williams_paige: “It seemed an apt conclusion to a recent career arc that some might see as trolling or internet pranks, but is probably best described as performative violence.” https://twitter.com/...
Brad King / @thebradking: There's a really interesting theme about “going viral.” I have not enjoyed the three times it happened to me. But, I can understand the drug of it. We Worked Together on the Internet. Last Week, He Stormed the Capitol. https://www.nytimes.com/...
David Carroll / @profcarroll: Remembering how the attention merchandising machine of “viral media” created the monster we now know as the (still at-large?) seditionist Baked Alaska. The audience for viral fascism was unleashed because people will do anything for attention. https://www.nytimes.com/... by @benyt
Amy Spitalnick / @amyspitalnick: “The only through line was his desire to build an audience.” Without necessarily intending to, @benyt makes a pretty effective case for why deplatforming extremists works. https://twitter.com/...
@meredithdclark: We warned y'all about giving prominence to everyday racists. And yet, here we are, @benyt. Despite the disclaimers, this is STILL a profile of a white nationalist. It's one that models the very problem media has right now. https://twitter.com/...
Anil Dash / @anildash: This story didn't go like I expected. That's an improvement over the kind of coverage we're used to getting on these things. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Warren / @tomwarren: @RMac18 it's also a big source of revenue as people tip along while they watch
Brianna Wu / @briannawu: This is my favorite @benyt column ever. He hired a kid at Buzzfeed to do viral videos. He had a desperate need to get validation through vitality. Last week, he stormed the Capital. This is a story of two alt-right figures to come from Buzzfeed. https://www.nytimes.com/...

@junesummer1: Not even a black writer and photographer could stop Vogue from its usual racism. They did America's first BW, first WOC, first daughter of immigrants VP dirty.
