Today’s post builds on @danamattioli.bsky.social's reporting for @wsj.com with a focus on the role of non-disclosure agreements in Elon Musk’s version of the dating game, which is designed to have his offspring reach “legion levels.”

I know the difference seems subtle, but there's just something so egregiously annoying about screaming-jump-cut style demands that your audience caters to the algorithm than genuinely asking for open discourse.
(I don't know, maybe I'm just bitter )

Fight

Every hour every day every week

Take a break

Then fight some more

It's a shame we have to

But it is the only way

After enough fighting, it gets easier. But not fighting at all makes it far worse

This is interesting all by itself, but does anyone have any long form blogs that cover Internet drama/influencer drama such as this? I am the kind of person that will read a three hour long post in one sitting, so if you have longer form content, would love to read it . I typically read long form essays, but I’m thinking deep/ long form dives of Internet drama articulating it as if I was an offline user, it would be ironically educational and some weird way so share if you know of any that fulfill this criteria! Alright, let's talk about the Hasan Piker and Ethan Klein feud https://www.garbageday.email/p/alright-let-s-talk-about-the-hasan-piker-and-ethan-klein-feud #Blog #Blog #influencer #Drama #IndieWeb #RSS

In #Internet, cresce un mondo dove la maschilità si racconta attraverso rabbia, frustrazione e disprezzo per le donne. È la manosfera, un insieme di #forum, #podcast, #influencer e account #social accomunati da un’idea tossica: che siano gli uomini le vittime di una società ingiustamente femminista. Un universo che si muoveva ai margini del web, oggi — complici gli algoritmi di piattaforme come #YouTube, #Instagram e #TikTok — arriva davanti agli occhi degli adolescenti.

I've been doing this influencer thing for a year now. And there have been perks. Here are some of my favorites.

Ein Influencer wurde zu einer Bewährungsstrafe verurteilt, nachdem er zu Silvester eine Rakete in eine Berliner Wohnung geschossen hatte. Glücklicherweise wurde niemand verletzt. Er entschuldigte sich. Das Gericht milderte sein Urteil.

I am consistently repulsed by the content that influencers create. I simply don't trust influencer marketing.

I can't be the only one.

Babes If someone questions you wearing a mask in public (during a pandemic no less), just lower it down and say, “It’s not fear. It’s 𝙩𝙪𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙨.” Then pull that mask back up and continue being the most fuckable force for collective care to ever walk through Target.

You do you

It's excruciating to watch Adolescence as a parent. Therefore, it's very, very necessary.

Here is my brief take on why Adolescence rocked me to the core. I wish all our children all the best.
