Marco Arment / @marcoarment: I'm with @gruber on Netflix's woes: https://daringfireball.net/... Netflix used to be all we watched. Now, almost every good new show is somewhere else, and Netflix has become an endless sea of mediocre, time-wasting filler. Fix the content, and the subscribers will follow.
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Longtime Netflix bull @RichLightShed: “Netflix felt vulnerable yesterday in a way that it never has before.”
Subrahmanyam Kvj / @sub8u: First we blame content costs. Then we blame competition. Then we blame sleep. Then we blame users. “Netflix said that members who are sharing their login credentials outside the home are contributing to its slowing growth in 2022” https://variety.com/...
Tyler Conway / @jtylerconway: Netflix is gonna fuck around and test us like we didn't all didn't spend our formative years using torrents???? https://twitter.com/...

Highbrow Theological Shade / @wilgafney: Also, Netflix fin'ta harass you even more for traveling and logging into your own damn account. https://twitter.com/...
@sir_ruffy: Make noise all you want, we pay for multi so we can share the passwords with our friends and family. You don't want people sharing passwords, remove multi device view and stop charging for them. https://twitter.com/...
Blue Heron Farm / @blueheronfarmtx: Are we...Are we all sharing the same one? https://twitter.com/...
@wisdom_98: They need to give better service and try to keep their current customers. Focused on the wrong thing https://twitter.com/...
Lauren Thomas / @laurenthomas: One has to wonder if/when Peloton will navigate a similar phenomenon. For Peloton, subscription prices are going up — but does the company try tiered options for single-member accounts vs. entire households??? https://twitter.com/...
Ajit Pai / @ajitpai: “@Netflix said it estimates more than 30 million U.S. and Canadian households are using a shared password to access its content. The company said more than 100 million additional households were likely using a shared password worldwide.” @cnbc @sherman4949 https://www.cnbc.com/...
Stephanie Horbaczewski / @iamsteph: So #netflix lost 200k subs for the first time in a decade (bc of Russia) + competition= to monetize existing users better. Adding share fees for accounts they could see $1.6b in revenue @xpangler https://variety.com/... via @variety

Nielsen: streaming platforms accounted for 30% of US viewers' TV usage in March, the highest since Nielsen started measuring TV use by platform; cable took 37% — Nielsen's platform rankings for March also show cable posting gains driven by news coverage of Ukraine.

Makena Kelly / @kellymakena: I got my hands on Arsenal's pitch deck to clients. The firm promises huge viral returns on videos and social content through it use of a “team of conservative influencers” with “a combined follower count of millions.” https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Jeremy Goldman / @jeremarketer: Read of the day by @kellymakena on Arsenal Media & Benny Johnson and how a firm that helped Republican politicians earn virality fell apart. https://www.theverge.com/...
Greg Greene / @ggreeneva: Whoa, goodness gosh — who would guess that plagiarist and shameless serial grifter Benny Johnson might find his way to the center of another grift? https://www.theverge.com/...
Oliver Willis / @owillis: Wow I'm shocked that former @semaforben hire Benny Johnson fucked something up again This firm made Republicans go viral — now it's falling apart https://www.theverge.com/...
Makena Kelly / @kellymakena: One former worker told me Johnson can be “very abusive, very toxic, screaming at people, like using profanity, vulgarity, making women cry... I hadn't been screamed at like that since I was probably seven years old on the playground.” https://www.theverge.com/...
Tim Murphy / @timothypmurphy: anyway, from the “politics-as-content-creation” front: https://www.theverge.com/...

Jordan Zakarin / @jordanzakarin: Right-wing media is America's one and only true welfare state.

Nilay Patel / @reckless: Here's @kellymakena on the internal culture of Arsenal Media, one of the firms which helps conservative culture-war candidates go viral with the help of its influencer network. Screaming, not paying people... all bad jobs are the same in the end https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Mallory Shelbourne / @malshelbourne: Lol Benny Johnson is the worst human I have ever worked with, and I worked in publishing/ad sales with Conde Nast as a client before journalism. https://twitter.com/...
Makena Kelly / @kellymakena: Arsenal Media Group markets Republicans like Madison Cawthorn + Kari Lake. Even though Benny Johnson denies that he cofounded the company, his spox told me “Arsenal wouldn't have come into being without Benny's input early on in the company's formation.” https://www.theverge.com/...

Adam Mosseri / @mosseri: 📣 New Features 📣 We've added new ways to tag and improved ranking: - Product Tags - Enhanced Tags - Ranking for originality Creators are so important to the future of Instagram, and we want to make sure that they are successful and get all the credit they deserve. https://twitter.com/...
Adam Mosseri / @mosseri: @siruihua ... It would be hard. If the account is an aggregator, we'll more likely be able to detect that it's not original. If it's someone pretending to be that original creator, which is less likely but could happen, it'll be hard for us to know.
Jeff Allen / @jeff4llen: This is great!! It's the right move for creators, for the integrity and safety of the platform, and the long term growth of Reels. Now let's talk implementation! There are “quick and dirty” ways to prioritize originality and “harder but better” ways. 1/ https://twitter.com/...
@chrismessina: I wonder how Instagram's AI for detecting originality will fair against @OpenAI's DALL·E... https://openai.com/... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Tyson Hutchins / @tysonhutchins_: Instagram says it will begin to reward originality over aggregators. I do miss the days when I saw something in my feed besides reposted viral videos & sports highlights. Will be interested to see how easy it'll be for us to notice the change. https://twitter.com/...
@mikeisaac: @mosseri @MattNavarra interesting you say this. i follow a lot of food video people and have started seeing a lot more aggregators swipe their stuff and sorta push down the OG creators, which is probably aggravating to them curious how this'll work. guessing creators will need to put out more stuff
Jeff Allen / @jeff4llen: Super excited to see Instagram promoting originality. Next steps: promoting highly transparent creators who don't hide behind anonymous accounts! And publishing 70 pages of quality guidelines! And filing patents for new high quality information retrieval signals! 15/
Jane Manchun Wong / @wongmjane: I'm often irritated by the amount of stolen content in Instagram's Explore feed. Glad to know they're finally working to fix it Here's to a new frontier where content farms manipulate the stolen content to pass off as original to the algorithm https://twitter.com/...
Meg Coffey / @texanmeg: I'm all for promoting originality, but this will have a serious impact on tourism accounts who rely on UGC. They don't have the resources to create original content for every post so they show destinations thru the travellers eyes. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. https://twitter.com/...
@khairulaming: You should remove IG feed videos and make Reels longer than 1 minute. There are too many video formats on IG and they give us headache. Please focus on one video format only https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Allen / @jeff4llen: For more information on what we learned in our study of the Widely Viewed Content Report, check out our @Integrity_Inst analysis! For more information on ranking systems, check out our “Ranking and Design Transparency” briefing! 16/16 https://integrityinstitute.org/ ...
Queenie Wong / @qwongsj: Instagram says it's going to try to “value original content more” through a ranking change. I asked how does IG know who is the original creator of a piece of content? Head of IG gives more details in this answer. 👇 https://twitter.com/...
Nat Rubio-Licht / Protocol: Instagram, fed up with people sharing TikToks to Reels, is changing its algorithm
Social Allie / @social_allie: Instagram is clearly trying to woo creators away from TikTok in an effort to increase time on platform. But unless they shore up that creator revenue model, I don't see that happening anytime soon. https://twitter.com/...
Queenie Wong / CNET: Instagram Says Ranking Change Will Favor Original Content
David Pierce / The Verge: Instagram is begging you to stop reposting TikToks to Reels

Chad Loder / @chadloder: cw: hate speech. LibsOfTikTok is deleting her tweets, but the replies to the deleted tweets are still there. Her replies are littered with thousands of instances of targeted homophobic hate speech going back over a year. Twitter makes money from this. 👉🏼 https://twitter.com/search https://twitter.com/...
Tom Jones / Poynter: Digging into the Taylor Lorenz controversy that should not be a controversy at all
Matt Binder / @mattbinder: all the info in the Libs of TikTok piece was already publicly available online. but Taylor had one thing that no one else had which made the report possible...Glenn Greenwald accidentally confirming their identity lol https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: De-anonymizing somebody online in a major outlet is a form of doxxing, period. Even if done with public records. Even if done to somebody you dislike. That doesn't mean it's not justified by circumstances, but let's not mince words when justifying it.
Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz: I really cannot stress enough how everyone should read this full piece by @pareene. https://theap.substack.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz: “[Libs of TikTok]'s account, everyone in the press should understand, is the model for what they will be replaced with.” This is the entire crux of my beat and something that newsroom leaders across the industry need to recognize. Read this full piece: https://theap.substack.com/...
Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz: “This new right fundamentally doesn't want ‘newsgathering’ to happen. They want a chaotic information stream of unverifiable bullshit and context collapse and propaganda.” Extremely fantastic piece by @pareene https://theap.substack.com/...
Melissa Mackenzie / @melissatweets: All the defenders of Taylor Lorenz are revealing themselves, too. They're pro-shoddy journalism, intimidation, and doxxing if the subject of the story is someone who they despise and gets in the way of their leftist ideology. https://twitter.com/...
@danielleiat: “If you are attempting to persuade this creep's defenders, specifically, and not a general audience, you have made a category error... You are debating logic and facts with frothing bigots with a bone-deep opposition to your entire project.” https://theap.substack.com/...
Anna Merlan / @annamerlan: “Their backers, the people behind the whole project, are philosophically and materially opposed to the idea that true things should be uncovered and verified and disseminated publicly about, well, them, and their projects.” https://theap.substack.com/...
Jess Harvell / @cheaptrickrules: look i'm hardly out here cosigning everything major american newspapers do, but what we have here is a grown ass adult unfamiliar with the basic concept of “reporting,” or arguing in extremely faux-naive bad faith, and they are far from alone in this https://twitter.com/...
Bill Corbett / @billcorbett: Great analysis by @pareene. Bullseye. ***** They Know How Journalism Works! They're Just Against It! https://theap.substack.com/...
Robert Mackey / @robertmackey: This is a very clear and important explanation of why we need reporting on how the right's propaganda machine uses social media https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Greg Otto / @gregotto: “All I would like my reporter friends to understand is that they are debating with people that consider them the enemy not just in a partisan sense but in an existential one. The only correct posture...is to make yourself an existential threat” https://theap.substack.com/...
Hamza Shaban / @hshaban: .@pareene on the dishonest cries of “doxxing,” the rejection of journalism — of revealing, news gathering or any semblance of public accountability — and the failure of American newsrooms to adapt to bad faith, propaganda and targeted harassment https://theap.substack.com/...
Stephanie Brail / Wholistic: Libs of TikTok: Why I Use My Real Name
Dan Gillmor / @dangillmor: Brilliant, from @pareene — https://theap.substack.com/... The extremist right considers real journalism to be an existential threat, and is acting on that — dangerously. So “The only correct posture to take in response is to make yourself an existential threat to their movement.”
Drew Harwell / @drewharwell: Still can't believe @taylorlorenz knocked on a door and cited openly available public records to report on a giant right-wing outrage account saying LGBTQ teachers groom children and directly influencing Republican policy. Have you no decency madam https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Amanda Marcotte / @amandamarcotte: This is a wise piece. I'll add that the reason Republicans want to mire liberals in a “what is doxxing” debate is they DON'T want to debate why they love this gross Libs of TikTok account so much. https://theap.substack.com/...
Chase Woodruff / @dcwoodruff: “They don't just believe the media is too hostile to conservatives; they are hostile to the concept of journalism itself... It's an ideologically coherent opposition to the liberal precepts of verifiability and transparency.” https://theap.substack.com/...
@mor_sock_puppet: A thing I really appreciate about this piece, and @pareene in general, is the moral clarity being brought to the events. https://theap.substack.com/...
Bruce Arthur / @bruce_arthur: Everybody - everybody - should read this, from @pareene. https://theap.substack.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Scott Tobias / @scott_tobias: I think @pareene's newsletter has been consistently aces, but you should really take time to read this piece about yesterday's Libs of TikTok piece and right-wing efforts to dismantle journalism. https://theap.substack.com/...
Marisa Kabas / @marisakabas: conservatives know that taylor lorenz was practicing standard journalism procedure, they're just mad that she was successful because they hate journalism! great piece by @pareene: https://theap.substack.com/...
Michael Calderone / @mlcalderone: “All I would like my unbiased, objective, nonpartisan reporter friends to understand is that they are debating with people that consider them the enemy not just in a partisan sense but in an existential one,” writes @pareene in a must-read for journalists https://theap.substack.com/...
Simon Owens / @simonowens: This is the best analysis I've read of the Taylor Lorenz backlash. https://theap.substack.com/...
Blake Montgomery / @blakersdozen: I went to jail once for door-knocking the subject of a story. It's not something reporters do for lolz or for menace. It's a last-ditch gesture of good faith to get the subject's side of the story when they won't respond. https://twitter.com/...
Ashley Feinberg / @ashleyfeinberg: good pareene https://theap.substack.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Christopher Mathias / @letsgomathias: One of those articles where you want to screenshot & share every paragraph, by @pareene https://theap.substack.com/...
Emily Bell / @emilybell: This is an excellent piece from @pareene who encapsulates the current push of the right to invert the truth and discredit the press - (and why the pother around ‘doxxing’ is essentially anti-free press) https://theap.substack.com/...
Eric Nelson / @literaryeric: This is supposed to be a criticism of the mainstream media, but it's also a total fucking embarrassment that conservative media is reliant on a lady who watches TikTok for their investigative reporting. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Sagal / @petersagal: Speaking of good writing, @pareene has always been so sharp and savage that I enjoy him even when I actually like his targets. (Not the case here.) https://twitter.com/...
Kendall Brown / @kendallybrown: One of the teachers targeted by Libs of TikTok—and subsequently sent death threats by the account's followers—was Oklahoma teacher Tyler Wrynn. He then lost his job. The video he was targeted over was just telling LGBTQ kids rejected by their parents that they're loved. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Thompson / @alexthomp: Showing up at people's homes is standard journalism that more reporters should do. like half of “all the president's men” is Woodstein showing up at people's homes. https://twitter.com/...
@hezbolsonaro: For some reason Glenn Greenwald has changed his view on anonymous outlets that harass and defame people and try to get them fired https://twitter.com/...
Robby Soave / @robbysoave: @TaylorLorenz I ask this in genuine good faith: How do you square this sort of reporting with your stated position that doxxing is never okay? It seems you are likely to direct no small amount of harassment toward this woman as a result of exposing her.
