Description
What on earth has been going on with social media? Threads is a brand new app with 100 m users. Reddit's moderators have revolted and the site is still feeling the effects. And Twitter continues to set itself on fire regularly. Why is all this happening? Mike Masnick of Techdirt joins the show, and we discuss the most chaotic time for social media in years. We talk about what caused Twitter's outage, whether or not twitter replacements like Threads can be successful, and how the different broadcast styles and economic models of social media influence the business and our posting.
