I can't imagine ever cancelling Netflix, but The Office, Friends, and Parks & Rec probably account for 50% of my Netflix viewing, so when they go I might be able to imagine cancelling Netflix — PolitiTweet.org

In which @tldtoday asks a very important question: is it okay to take pictures in public with your foldable phone unfolded, or are you as bad as the monsters who take pictures with iPads? https://t.co/homxJ0gO0E — PolitiTweet.org

@Shoemakerlevi @samsheffer I strap watches sensually to sam’s wrist every day, though mostly it’s just me throwing watches at his YouTube videos on my screen — PolitiTweet.org

@WillOremus @jack @SusanWojcicki Isn’t that true of all business, though? And the problem was tech spent so many years pretending it was... something else? — PolitiTweet.org

I hope they make The Social Network 2 and it's just the Winkelvoss twins sitting around going "we really dodged a bullet on that one, huh" https://t.co/4dxnG9DUEf — PolitiTweet.org

I love this, but I don’t want all Netflix shows. I want to add the six I watch over and over and then have it just pick an episode of something and start playing — PolitiTweet.org

Someday I hope someone asks me to do one of those "How I Work" interviews so I can talk about all the astonishing ways I manage to waste time during work hours, then remember everything I was supposed to do right before I leave and then just give up and go home anyway — PolitiTweet.org

@cpen @mims My favorite is how different the world would be if voice assistants came before keyboards and we learned to use tech that way first — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@GregBensinger Ugh the news feed is just tv shows but worse isn’t it — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@waltmossberg Yeah, I agree with that. But I also think we as consumers underrate how much we, and the products we use, and society in general, are affected and governed by ads — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@kerrymflynn Yes! And it’s actually the simplest and truest answer to virtually everything about how the product works and how people use it. You’ve always been good at seeing that, which is why I like your stuff! — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@mims I THINK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@dchanimaya A few: companies only police the content on their platforms when it makes advertisers mad. News Feeds were created to insert ads into the middle instead of leaving them on a sidebar. Advertisers essentially choose which channels, creators make money and get famous — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

I think this has always been true, and I just didn’t notice—which I think is the advertisers’ goal. But now that I’ve learned to see it I can’t stop seeing it — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

The longer I cover tech, the more I realize how much advertisers run the world. Basically every product and service we use can be explained by what advertisers want, what they will and won’t advertise on, and the kind of people they’re looking to reach. Weird world we live in. — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

This is a nonsense statement. But also, if the structural integrity of your phone depends on a flimsy bit of plastic that almost everyone will think they should peel off... you made a bad phone. — PolitiTweet.org
