@rainofterra: I work at @netflix. Yesterday we launched another Chappelle special where he attacks the trans community, and the very validity of transness - all while trying to pit us against other marginalized groups. You're going to hear a lot of talk about “offense”. We are not offended 🧵

Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: Good morning sports fans — been working on this one for a little while. Disney's plan for ESPN in a streaming-first wold, and what it may mean for the future value of sports rights. Hope you enjoy. https://www.cnbc.com/...
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: Went through my “close 60 open tabs” ritual for this piece today. Always satisfying: https://www.cnbc.com/...
Modest Proposal / @modestproposal1: @sherman4949 The funny thing is this debate is at least a decade old and there is no new thinking or strategy or anything. It's still “if we can get 25-30M sports fans to pay $30-35, and churn stays low, it kind of works, even tho our reach will be lower but we'll make up for it in targeting”
Jason Gurwin / @jasongurwin: @sherman4949 I never got the argument that Disney could get $30 from 30 million subs for ESPN. Sling has 2.5 million at $35 (was $20-25 for 5 years) which includes ESPN & Disney and more.
Lauren Saks / @laurensaks: Two things are still on my mind after reading about Disney's plans for ESPN in a post-cable world https://www.cnbc.com/...
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: @jasongurwin This is a good point. I think the argument is that millions aren't switching to Sling because they've already got cable baked in with their Internet, and the price of Sling is bound to go up in the next few years.
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: ICYMI from yesterday: ESPN has been Disney's crown jewel for decades. But as the world moves to streaming, does ESPN make sense for Disney anymore? Or is ESPN strategically misaligned with the rest of the company? https://www.cnbc.com/...
Lauren Saks / @laurensaks: And “Americans age 13 to 23 are half as likely as millennials to watch live sports regularly and twice as likely to never watch, according to a 2020 Morning Consult survey.” Whoa.
Ari Levy / @levynews: Great sunday read from @sherman4949 on how Disney's shift to streaming has put ESPN in awkward position of clinging to the past https://www.cnbc.com/...
Lauren Saks / @laurensaks: $30 a month for streaming ESPN, or more than double that of a Netflix subscription - is that low? High? Would my family of huge sports fan happily pay?
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: @modestproposal1 The innovator's dilemma perhaps
Alex Morris / @tsoh_investing: “Should the number of pay-TV bundle subscribers drop to a level well under 50 million households, Disney would likely take ESPN to consumers in a more complete streaming package, said two people with knowledge of the company's plans.” h/t @FrancoOlivera https://www.cnbc.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: @jasongurwin Well, the opposite, I think — the 25m who leave would likely be non sports fans. The ones who stay would be the ones ESPN could nab with a streaming offer after the 25m leave.
Jason Gurwin / @jasongurwin: @sherman4949 Both fair. But if 25 million get rid of cable in the next few years, probably they would need 100% uptake of those.
John Kosner / @jkosner: A lot here @sherman4949 ... New products (AR, NFTs, Betting) factor into the streaming future but piracy is a growing risk https://twitter.com/...
Alan Wolk / @awolk: Great piece that touches on all of the major themes facing TV today, from “what to do about all those people who won't give up cable” to “is the solution just a streaming bundle” to the main topic, the place for linear sports broadcasts in a streaming world. https://twitter.com/...
David Clinch / @davidclinchnews: Slowly managing the demise of (very profitable) legacy while slowly managing the move towards direct digital subscription products. Smart, but how can you optimize for revenue on both simultaneously? https://twitter.com/...
@mediumbuying: Disney has a huge financial incentive to keep the linear cable bundle around in the short term — The company earns roughly *$9 billion* annually in domestic carriage fees from ESPN and its associated networks https://www.cnbc.com/...
Micah Gelman / @mbgelman: This is a really smart assessment of how ESPN fits into Disney's DTC strategy amidst declining subs for pay TV and it has me thinking about how cable news will or won't adapt (1/ https://twitter.com/...
Andrew A. Rosen / @aagave: Good must-read. I think there *is* an outcome where 40MM-50MM households pay for a sports-focused or refined bundle (20-30 channels) H/T @sd_so. But burden isn't on DIS to figure that out, and w/ ESPN as cash cow no incentives either https://twitter.com/...
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: Does ESPN still make sense for Disney as the world moves to streaming? Depends what you think about the future of sports and linear TV. https://www.cnbc.com/...

Renee DiResta / @noupside: New essay in The Atlantic exploring some dynamics I've been thinking about as the mis/disinformation (and related “solutions” debates) swirl: how much of what people are concerned about is more accurately characterized as, simply, propaganda, and what does that imply? https://twitter.com/...
Renee DiResta / @noupside: Mis and disinfo are real phenomena, but there's been scope creep as the terms are used to describe non-falsifiable and authentically-produced narratives as well ("propaganda" is a loaded term). So in the essay I explore what that means - and what it means for us as participants. https://twitter.com/...
Shahid Buttar / @shahidforchange: We're grateful for @noUpside's essay in @TheAtlantic about social media, our decentralized information landscape, and the challenges presented by online organizing in an age of contested narratives. https://www.theatlantic.com/ ... Thread. /1 https://twitter.com/...
Renee DiResta / @noupside: The public holds a power it never really had in prior ecosystems; influencers, a relatively new figure in distribution dynamics, crystallize public opinion. “Propaganda” originally simply referenced the idea of *propagation* - the process of evangelizing.
Renee DiResta / @noupside: One key difference now is that the affordances we all have for content creation, for narrative amplification - and the aggregation of people into highly activist online factions - mean that bottom-up dynamics are increasingly powerful and have massive reach.

@leighalexander: materially the amount of (e.g.) gamergate-related harassment I personally fielded in its time was probably down to ~1000 people. but social media propagandizing made it feel like a “huge thing”, other parties leveraged it, and that's the playbook now https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...

Brian Lyman / @lyman_brian: Few topics in journalism history are messier than the origins of objectivity.
