VALLEY PROTECTED. 😈🔱🔒🎥

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Joe Lim estimates that 90 percent of what you see on the internet is advertising in disguise, and he should know. For three years, Lim ran a company called Floodify, which at its peak operated 65,000 dummy social-media accounts used to drum up attention on behalf of paying clients.

The point of this kind of marketing is that nobody is supposed to notice it. But lately, the machinery has started to show.

In April, Justin Bieber headlined two consecutive weekends at Coachella. Coachella is the biggest stage in pop music save only for the Super Bowl, the kind of event that in theory generates its own attention. And yet on both weekends, a Discord server writer Lane Brown had been monitoring hosted paid campaigns for Bieber’s Coachella performances, offering clippers — people who are hired to turn a song, trailer, interview, stump speech, or whatever into short, social-media-friendly fragments — as much as a dollar per thousand views.

“On social media, popular opinion is being formed, measured, and manipulated all at once, and every signal the platforms produce — a trending song, a backlash, a talking point, the feeling that ‘everybody’ is suddenly talking about the same thing — can now be fabricated by unseen actors with hidden agendas,” writes Brown.

“Everybody is doing this now,” Lim says. “And if you’re not, you’re behind.”

Brown reports on how the same techniques are now being used to fool people on every app they go to in order to find out what other people think, not just in music but across entertainment, politics, consumer products, and celebrity gossip: https://t.co/hlcdfSmzPc

NEW: Youth sports is now costing parents as much as $25,000 a year.

Private equity and corporations are turning a childhood pastime into something only the wealthy can afford.

Youth sports has become a $40 billion industry, and the steep costs are crushing American families.

If you were horrified last night watching our elected leaders run and scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed.

Now, becomes a part of the solution and only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

I wrote about the "bestie-fication" of journalism, on the heels of the post-Oscars blunder (Vanity Fair hired influencers for the red carpet) https://t.co/ulvzylMEVq

Bobby Hurley is like Harrison Ford in Air Force One.

He’s not going down without a fight.

BOBBY ******* HURLEY.

Arizona State’s win tonight over Kansas was a microcosm of its tenure under Bobby Hurley.

Not as talented or trendy as a blue blood, but hard nosed regardless of the competition.

Guy has done a really good job the last 11 years at a power conference job with limited resources.

What advice does Mark Pope have for young, aspiring journalists?

I’m teaching an upper‑level journalism course at #UK this semester, and on Thursday, I took my class to Pope’s press conference. I asked him what guidance he’d give the next generation of journalists. His answer was worth hearing.

Bad Bunny closed out his #SuperBowl performance with a billboard behind him saying:

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”

@DraftDeeper Great year to need a PG

@Sam_Vecenie Very much polar opposites in a way.

Boozer: bb iq + intangibles, Wilson: wow factor + elite athleticism.

The Duke-UNC rivalry definitely adds another element to the comparison. 😅

Going to be a fun pre draft process.
