What Do Social Media Workers Do

Much has been said about the impact of streaming on the way audiences engage with TV, but the extent is no better exemplified than by the behavior of audiences in TV homes who don’t pay for cable or satellite programming. A specific subset of these homes, which rely on a digital antenna for free, over-the-air (OTA) programming, watch the most broadcast programming of all U.S. TV households, but that’s starting to change.  The significant amount of broadcast TV viewing within these homes certainly isn’t surprising, given that’s what digital antennas provide access to. These former broadcast programs are now more connected and OTT content has become more popular. This is allowing them to balance their TV programming with sports and news. OTA home viewers still see more broadcast programming that those who have broadband or cable plus, but they are less likely to be able to access it. 1 Television households are now watching less TV than ever before (1:54 per person per day in 2017 vs...

NEW YORK – JANUARY 2007: Egon Dabur, Co-Ceo at Silver Lake, is present at PBR Unleash The Beast at Madison Square Garden in New York City on January 7, 2022.

His time on the board pre-dates Elon Musk’s arrival, dating back to an earlier entanglement with another unsolicited investor. But, in the past, Durban has been a close Musk confidant, and the company’s decision to keep him is a reminder of the complex machinations—and personalities—involved in the highly public fights over Twitter’s future during the last several years. Twitter believes Durban lost the election because of a shareholder advisory firm’s recommendation against him, not because of his relationship with Musk, the company says in a new SEC filing. That firm, ISS, recommended Twitter shareholders rej...

Elon Musk is the founder and CEO of SpaceX. AFP via Getty Images E lon Musk didn’t speak at Wednesday’s annual meeting of Twitter shareholders, and he didn’t say anything about it on Twitter. The man still seemed to be a huge presence throughout the day. The musk of Musk—it’s a potent thing. You could tell something was in the air from the two shareholder proposals put forward by the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank, and the impassioned comments the center’s executives gave about the ideas. One group asked Twitter to audit its diversity initiatives. The right-leaning group claims they have gone too far, and are now discriminating against both men and women. The other asked Twitter to publish a review into its lobbying efforts, which the center, presumably, thinks will show a liberal bias on the company’s part. “Let’s cure the DEI mind virus spreading inside Twitter,” said a speaker from the think tank. He addressed his remarks directly ...

Elon Musk looks down and pauses as he talks during the press conference held at SpaceX’s Starbase facility in South Texas near Boca Chica Village on February 10, 2022. AFP via Getty Images h, here you were thinking that Elon Musk’s—baffling, quixotic—crusade against spam bots was the most important thing we’d need to discuss in Musk-Twitter-dom this week. Well, it’s not, and that comes from the fresh amount of uncertainty injected into Elon Musk’s will-he-won’t-he buyout of Twitter on Thursday evening when Insider detailed sexual misconduct allegations against him. SpaceX’s former flight attendant was allegedly $250,000 paid by Musk to make her quiet after she saw his naked penis and asked for progeny. Musk told Insider there’s “a lot more to this story” without going into further detail and has sought to characterize the reporting as a politically motivated attack on him, sparked by his outspoken desire to roll back moderation policies at Twitter if he actually d...

Photo by C Flanigan/Getty Images Getty Images Ever since announcing his Twitter acquisition, Elon Musk’s name has been regularly trending on the social media platform, as his strange commentary and bizzare business negotiations play out in public, via erratic Twitter posts and poop emojis. Musk’s latest crusade is against spambots, which he believes make up a higher percentage of Twitter users than the company acknowledges. Musk’s mother, the author, dietitian and model Maye Musk, took her son’s claim very seriously indeed, and started searching Twitter for accounts that post mean comments about her billionaire son, flagging them as potential bots and declaring them to be “nasty.” It’s already surreal to see one of the wealthiest men on the planet regularly post “dad...

Elon Musk attends The 2022 Met Gala, Celebrating “In America. An Anthology of Fashion.” at The Metropolitan … [+] Museum of Art, May 2, 2022 in New York City RW/MediaPunch/IPx (Updating…) Elon Musk had considered starting his own social media company prior to buying Twitter. According to a recent SEC filing. At the end of March, Musk made initial contact with Twitter after accumulating a more than 9% stake in the company that, for a time, made him the company’s largest shareholder. According to the proxy statement, he spoke to Parag Agrawal, Chairman of Twitter and Musk on March 31. He was contemplating what to do about the shares and his interests in Twitter and social media. It would’ve put him on the same path as President Trump, who launched his Truth Social app in February with lackluster results. Musk chose to go a different path and proposed, and then won board approval for, a $54.20-a share buyout of Twitter. Since then, Musk said that the dea...
