Clippers: The leak floodgates have opened - massive twitter thread dump from a Clippers media member

How to find the leaker. Search company message history for "atp" and find the one weirdo who uses that all the time.

I dont even use twitter, but I dont get how you can lose 90% of advertisers, is just a platform for people to write messages online... How do you kill it that bad, so fast. I know that he unbanned some questionable politicians and Nazzi symphatizers, but that cant be all of it. Like what is worse about Twiiter now, from outsider, it seems to be exact same thing.

1) There are two tabs, "For you" and "Following" that control what is in your feed. "For you" used to be a fun way to learn about stuff that was similar to what you like, now it's filled with right wing political people. Even if you follow cars and NBA Elon is still shoving right wing politics in your feed. Now I only use "Following" and still sometimes I see political stuff I don't actually follow. For you was fun but I can't use it now and it reduces my usage of the site.

2) There has been a ton of discourse about blue checks, elon, twitter staff, all things that I don't find particularly interesting to read about over and over. I'm interested the first time, but these topics keep getting brought up over and over and it's boring, so that gets me to log off sometimes.

#1 is the big one, I used to like to learn about random stuff related to my interests.

#1 sounds very bad, but it is similar to Facebook algorytm. I used to use F word just for news, because you saw stuff you ''liked'', pages, news feeds, people. etc. Now entire feed is filled with stuff you are not subscribed to, why is that? It is not just political, so that is a huge relief, but sometimes like it purposely shoves stuff you particularly hate, like I constantly see those anti-woke memes, restoresnyderverse, and proud meat eaters, like I literally like the opposite of that, why I constantly keep seeing that thing, Facebook is ruined...

Also, I am not paranoid over this stuff at all, but it is crazy how they catch your info sometimes. Years ago, I remember this, it was crazy, I did open Twitter, I have account, but I havent used it for more than 15 minutes total in my life, but I opened it then, I saw an actress I followed post about book, english book and all. I left a comment, closed the window, opened facebook, and I seriously instantly saw an ad pop up, advertising to me that book, but in my language of origin... Like wow, thats efficient marketing.

Twitter is a cesspool. Can't wait until Elon kills it.

If you throw more garbage in a dumpster fire, you're only going to make it a bigger fire

[VFX]

Everyone needs to be fired.

Team clearly hates the organization.

[Bob Ross]

Wild. Love to see it

[Capn'O]

What in the world did I just read? This smells like a lot of "creative license" to me.

In any event, if dysfunction landed us Hartenstein I'm all for it. He started pretty rough but has been GREAT in the second half of the season.

[levon]

He already did.

Pretty sure i've read that advertisers were coming back.

They haven't been, at least in any meaningful way. The top 10 advertisers used to spend 71 mil a year combined, and now spend 7 mil. Now he's going around courting cannabis startups. It's just turning into techbro 4chan. I couldn't care less because I don't use it except to read basketball FA news on this site.

[Optms]

Clips gonna clip

[scrabbarista]

Kawhi doing an Irish goodbye midgame seems like such a Kawhi thing to do

I believe the phase is "Irish exit." Either way, good use of it!

[Roscoe Sheed]

Who knows how accurate any of this info is? If team chemistry was so bad, why would they have scrapped so hard with pg and kawhi out? Aside from the plumlee and hyland argument, I didn’t see any problems and even that at least showed that they cared

[floppymoose]

And Hyland argues with everyone, so that's not really a Clipper issue. Hyland is the Gobert of wings.

Lost 90% of advertisers or 90% of ad revenue? Those are two very different things and I doubt either of them happened.

Interesting that you say you feel like the algorithm now shoving stuff down your throat as though it has an agenda. That’s’ exactly what more right wing users have been complaining about for the last decade across all social media platforms.

I don’t really use twitter or any social media so I don’t have a horse in the race, but I don’t notice any difference in twitter (when I follow links) since Musk took over.

Cutting 80% of the staff and removing government agents was a good start. Now he can build back up from scratch.

[bicycle]

I don't think he went out and deliberately said "I'm going to make the For You page show right wing politics." What he did was he made the For You feed show only "Verified" people at the same time as he allowed anybody with $8 to purchase a "Verified" tag. (What is it verifying? As far as I can tell the only thing it verifies is that you used to have $8). So now the feed only shows people willing to pay him money for the privilege of appearing in that feed, which happens to be mostly right wing people on account of all the other things he's decided to do lately.

I'm curious what specific "right-wing" content he's seeing. These days anything that is not in lock-step obedience and compliance with the radical left is considered "right-wing". Elon is a classic liberal, he's not even right wing.

Right wing users were being shadowbanned for years. They're not being promoted, they're just allowed to have a voice now. There's a big difference.

Easy money!

[OkcSinceSGA]

I believe every single bit of it. Timelines also add up. Morris for Conley did almost happen at that time etc.

[VanWest82]

I am also chosing to believe this - not every word of it, of course, just that he was legit covering the team and is giving a genuine insider POV.
