@lea @Reuters Yes (tho the main source for that Reuter’s story is Brad “Overflow stage” Parscale). WSJ mentions that app, too. But just like Trump claims to want an alternative to Fox, wishing doesn’t create an alternate platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Also funny: Story repeatedly refers to things Brad Parscale has said and done and threatened w/out noting that he is now best-known for organizing a public humiliation for his boss a few days ago. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a very funny story: The Trump campaign, portrayed as digital geniuses since November 2016, now seems flummoxed by Twitter and Facebook, and is mulling... they don’t know, really. Maybe they will build their own app or something? https://t.co/Q5iagsM2KS — PolitiTweet.org

@tinashakour Ding ding ding. But also it’s complicated. But also I spend a lot of time thinking about moving somewhere I can’t smell my neighbors through my wall. But also it’s the city. So. 👍 — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

It *sounds* like my neighbors are just blowing off steam and whooping it up but that’s what they WANT me to believe — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@benyt Who is arguing for that? Anyway, simple point: The audience in most of these trades is treated as an afterthought, while institutions/sources/reporters haggle. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@benyt So, yeah. But those were all different agreements. And since the audience generally didn’t have any insight into the pacts between the first three groups, a flawed system. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@benyt Level of trust between? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Also! Thanks much to our employers at https://t.co/pAHtxV7V8E, who gave us space and time to work on this, and the excellent Vox Media Podcast Network, and our *really* excellent producers @zachthemack and @Nikki_StrongArm. — PolitiTweet.org

That same feed will also get you @DelRey's excellent Amazon series, which you should inhale if you haven't already. — PolitiTweet.org

Rani and I worked on this for months, talking to people in and outside of the company. We spoke w/@Reedhastings, Ted Sarandos and other Netflix execs in LA on March 5, just before lockdown. We’ve got six more episodes coming: You can subscribe here. https://t.co/6TqWWn6gWj — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Netflix isn’t just a giant streaming service. It’s also a deeply weird place to work, w/an internal culture different than any place you’ve worked at. @ranimolla and I dove into it for the 1st ep of our Land of the Giants podcast. https://t.co/UmrqehwtXq https://t.co/JYr6zTQWNi — PolitiTweet.org

@JBFlint I have yet to read a version of this story that makes any sense, but it *seems* like all of the headlines should read "Still no clue whether baseball will come back this summer" — PolitiTweet.org

@akruglov Reserving judgement on cameo, which feels very pet rock to me. But internet! So.... Anyway, yes: when you have a platform with an audience and $$$, you can bring talent. $$$ without audience, you can also bring talent. But you can’t make audience show up: see - many things. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@akruglov Yes but the youtubers came to tiktok once it was a thing. Why go otherwise? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@DylanByers Ps is is also very understandable. Just did a stroll and saw a few people eating outside, on tables set up on the sidewalk and street, served by people in masks. It was odd and also comforting. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@DylanByers No will to do otherwise. (And, less than zero support from Washington to do otherwise.) — PolitiTweet.org

@bmorrissey Just going to state the obvious thing, which is that theoretical business will do much better if podcasters and event producers are open to those pitches. — PolitiTweet.org
