("New Glenn’s delay is also terrible news for a variety of SpaceX competitors. The next launch of the Blue Origin rocket was supposed to put 48 satellites into orbit for Leo, Amazon’s yet-to-launch Starlink competitor. After that, New Glenn was supposed to launch more satellites for AST SpaceMobile, another yet-to-launch Starlink competitor")







My latest story for @wired.com is about how streamers like Clavicular are making tons of money humiliating OnlyFans models — even though Clav is (allegedly) directly profiting off them by running an OF agency behind the scenes. www.wired.com/story/stream...

(the onus is increasingly on performers to promote themselves rather than rely on agents or managers to do it for them. And in the incredibly saturated OnlyFans space, participating in “rage bait” is often seen as among the most effective ways to do that)







Paying a subscription to use Meta products is patently absurd for the average user. Which Meta obviously knows. From a content perspective, they offer nothing that's worth paying for. These are predatory subscriptions plans clearly aimed at businesses that are dependent on these platforms.

These will start out cosmetic — premium filters, page designs, etc. — but we should assume that this is part of a broader rollout of a tiered algorithm and better discovery for paying users. X already does this. Silicon Valley wants to be TV broadcasters and this is how they're doing it.

After the clipping hysteria of the last few months, we know that these kind of tiered algorithms kill any incentive to share things genuinely. It quickly becomes payola all the way down. If you pay users to post and they pay you to get paid and be seen, the whole thing becomes rotten.

In seventh grade I accidentally set fire to my friend's bedroom carpet and said, "Quick, grab the Dustbuster and deprive it of oxygen!" It worked, and I still don't know where that came from because I was not a smart kid.
