I absolutely would sit down with normal human person Mark Zuckerburg and eat a steak from his, uh, macrobiotic cows
Move along Paulo's boss. Nothing to see here.

"According to CHEQ, a whopping 75.85 percent of traffic from X to its advertising clients' websites during the weekend of the Super Bowl was fake.
"I've never seen anything even remotely close to 50 percent, not to mention 76 percent," CHEQ founder and CEO Guy Tytunovich told Mashable regarding X's fake traffic data. "I'm amazed…I've never, ever, ever, ever seen anything even remotely close."
...
CHEQ monitors bots and fake users across the internet in order to minimize online ad fraud for its clients. Tytunovich's company accomplishes this by tracking how visitors from different sources, such as X, interact with a client's page after they click one of their links. The company can also tell when a bot is passing itself off as a real user, such as when a fraudulent user is faking what type of operating system they are using to view a website.
...
"We were always the conservative ones," Tytunovich explained regarding CHEQ's approach to fake user data. "We protect a lot of our customers on Google Ads, YouTube, and even TikTok, which I'm not a fan of, and we've always said 50 percent [being fake] is a bit opportunistic."
...
X didn't always have a bot problem of this magnitude, according to CHEQ, something Tytunovich demonstrated by providing Mashable with data from last year's Super Bowl. During the comparable weekend in February 2023, fake traffic from the platform then-known as Twitter only accounted for 2.81 percent out of 159,000 visits. That's around 72 percent less than this year's game.
Taibi belongs on the same dung heap as Glenn Greenwald, Jimmy Dore, Tim Pool, David Rubin, Bari Weiss etc. Anyone who legitimately thought "the Twitter files" was some legitimate whistle blowing campaign and not some PR project created by Musk needs have their face shoved in a gas station toilet.Hunter wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 12:21 pm Poor Matt Taibi, a useful idiot who ruined his cred for a billionaire.

Twitter continues it's decline and I'd put money on Musk abandoning ship before the end of 2025. He'll blame it on wokeness/Disney/Jews or whatever the hot new right wing gripe is - but in reality, he's just flailing:
The majority of traffic from Elon Musk's X may have been fake during the Super Bowl, report suggests

It's all this "I left the left" bullshit which is the most transparent grift going around these days. It's perfectly fine if you have an evolving set of beliefs. I just don't see how people can look at what they are doing and not see how blatantly it is about inserting money into their own pockets.Hunter wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 10:24 amThe most mediocre minds in media!cxwx wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 8:56 pm Taibi belongs on the same dung heap as Glenn Greenwald, Jimmy Dore, Tim Pool, David Rubin, Bari Weiss etc. Anyone who legitimately thought "the Twitter files" was some legitimate whistle blowing campaign and not some PR project created by Musk needs have their face shoved in a gas station toilet.
Most of them privately will admit that it's all theater. They have convinced themselves that it's not a grift, it's a talent for creating controversy and getting attention. But that's what mediocre talents need to do find a semblance of relevance.cxwx wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 1:12 pmIt's all this "I left the left" bullshit which is the most transparent grift going around these days.

I really want to hear Tim Pool's super cool metalcore collab with Phil Labonte.
