Very clever funding announcement from Axios and @danprimack. Btw@ I believe this is the second time the company has sold shares via secondary (which means early investors and/or employees/founders can turn their shares into cash). https://t.co/vMimIf6CzP — PolitiTweet.org

@swodinsky @Bryson_M @sarafischer @provenself Now, if Netflix had turned around and turned my interview into a paid ad, I’d be rightfully pissed, bc that would violate the understood intent of what we agreed to. But I wouldn’t really be able to complain - because in the end it’s their content. — PolitiTweet.org

@swodinsky @Bryson_M @sarafischer @provenself Full disclosure: I’ve done a version of this with Netflix, where I moderated 3 earnings calls a few years ago. Same way Sara describes her conditions for FB - none. So I treated it like a chance to interview Netflix execs about whatever I wanted, so I did. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@swodinsky @Bryson_M @sarafischer @provenself It is *weird* and not great that FB brought in actual journos to make the content for them. And not good at all that apparently that the full intent of fb’s plan - “we will run this after the fact as sponcon” - was communicated. Otoh: If you do work for FB, you do work for FB. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@swodinsky @Bryson_M @sarafischer @provenself Seems *mostly* standard: Facebook pays $$$ for “thought leadership” sponsorship at high profile conference which comes with a post-conference component where they can run their whatever on the Atlantic sites (bc thought leadership must be seen!). — PolitiTweet.org

Looks like video was made as part of Atlantic Festival; disclaimer notes it wasn’t made by Atlantic edit staff but by “our underwriter” - Facebook. https://t.co/Hhv1SeVhrt https://t.co/SV68r2F6tN — PolitiTweet.org

Did a double and triple take here: Atlantic’s site running sponcon from Facebook featuring Facebook execs interviewed by real reporters (@sarafischer, @provenself). https://t.co/VZxpDpATwB — PolitiTweet.org

@mgsiegler @gavinpurcell You don’t get the stimulus overload/high you get in the theater but you can marinate in the plot and the texture and details you didn’t fully get the first time. And then it’s still just a pleasure bomb. — PolitiTweet.org

@mgsiegler @gavinpurcell I found watching it again concentrated the pleasure. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@gavinpurcell I’m watching it again, at home, now. It’s so extra but also so serious about it and it’s intoxicating. It’s so much fun to nerd out to. — PolitiTweet.org

TikTok spent ~$1 billion on Facebook ads. Now it’s a major threat to Facebook, so Facebook is spending its money on TikTok ads. https://t.co/2hWw2FYhyq — PolitiTweet.org

Not that it matters but you could easily learn that much of this was not true, before you typed it. You could pick up the phone or tap out a text or just read through the @benyt story you already cited. https://t.co/KHDfHMaUyj — PolitiTweet.org

@ShiraOvide If they don’t it’s because they don’t actually think there’s that much $ there. To be fair they’re the one platform that has created a system to actually move a sizeable chunk of the money it makes and redistribute it to creators. — PolitiTweet.org
