the jurgen experience and that's a problem generally that a lot of people have with the censorship that's on social media twitter in particular you know um one of the weird things that's happening now with uh elon musk buying twitter or attempting to buy twitter they've done something different and one of the things they've done different is i gained now it's 900 000 followers in the month or so what yes i mean a lot of people really like you so maybe nine hundred thousand more people were like i decided i loved it i think i was in a box i think it was megan kelly said the same thing did you hear her say that she said she gained a lot she gained a ton like like a hundred thousand or i'm i don't remember the number but also a lot like it was really noticeable and so she was like she's like i'm pretty sure twitter was you know messing yeah around with my account yeah i think so i think there's something something was going on i mean i'm just guessing the other option could be their bots that i've gained 900 000 bots but it's it's like every time i look it's like another hundred thousand it's crazy it's it it grows faster than anything and instagram is the opposite instagram seems to have hit the brakes on me like sometimes oh yeah somewhere around six months ago something happened and it seems like it's it's slowed down growth a lot i don't check it too much so i might be wrong it might be you know i mean maybe it's something they've done with their algorithm where they uh prefer videos over photographs now which i think they do they are they're trying to go more video i believe because i read that that's where the viral uh effect really takes place and i see with my kids with tick-tock you have one daughter who's a heavy tick-tocker oh yeah she's always doing dancing never been on tick-tock i don't really understand how you're not 14. that's true but little girls they get together and they do dances and and they like to like memorize dances and sync it to music and yeah and then they're watching all these other people tick-tocking and doing other these other and it's like tick-tock just hits you
with video after video after video and they just get you hooked you open that app up and it's like you're already like oh movement things are happening and this is what they're trying to do i believe with instagram i think so too and i i did i've read that i don't get it because i hate watching videos on instagram and i hate watching videos on my phone in general like if i'm gonna because i'm an old person i guess like i'm like if i want to watch a video i want to look at a big screen like i'll watch stuff on my laptop but i i hate i don't like reading stuff i don't like using my phone i don't even like texting on my phone to be honest like i text on my laptop but i mean i sort of think that instagram messes with me a little bit too they refuse to verify my account i've tried like five times how many flowers do you have fourteen thousand no sorry is that right what's the number that you think yeah who cares i don't to pretend like i like don't give a [ __ ] because i do give a [ __ ] but not that big of a [ __ ] um is there a number that you have to reach before they're they'll verify you oh i went up to 14.3 k today from thank you but i i just felt like my uh my posts were getting less traction all of a sudden and they were no different than what i'd been posting before yeah i don't know what that is like that could just be coincidental but i know some people have definitely been [ __ ] with and you know there wasn't there a football player who complained a lot about it jamie and then eventually he got let out of instagram why does he need a like he's a football player like what does he need an instagram account i need an instagram account because it's how i make a living well he does too that's how you get sponsors when you're a football player you have to get sponsorships lots of followers fine i'm sorry football player who likes sports what do you think about it i mean if you have a large following like a tom brady i mean god how many sponsors does he have oh
okay you know i mean that's that's an amazing way to income you don't need an instagram account to throw a ball you need it for gatorade and nike and yeah all the car sponsors and all kinds of different things when those guys have a large following that's very valuable which is really an interesting thing it's like what is social media for i mean you're using it for as a business or using it to be social are you just having fun and you know expressing yourself are you using it to maximize your brand air quotes i mean i don't brand i swear to god i don't i'm obviously a very authentic person i believe i i just i mean i i have to use social media for work because i work for myself so it's the only way i can get what i produce out into the world and it's the that's how i make an income almost solely through individual donations like so people who send me donations through my website or they sign up to my patreon or they pay for a subscription on stack which i don't i haven't put anything behind a paywall so you can people can just choose to pay or not so i just appreciate it if people pay because that's how i make an income but like i don't have i don't there's no institution there's nothing kind of pure yeah and but but i also i would not really i don't think i would have a public instagram account if i hadn't been but i didn't start a public instagram account until i was cooked kicked off of twitter like i have to do that i don't love spending a bunch of time on social media do you did you enjoy twitter though yes yeah i'm like i don't know why everybody complains about twitter all the time because i really liked it i tried to get back on because i know some people that were banned before they they try to get back on they got back on i i appealed twice since recently yeah yeah so since elon musk announced that he was gonna buy twitter we'll see if that actually goes through or not um they just gave into one of his demands oh did they yeah they just released uh they we'll see if we can find what the article says but uh essentially um he said unless they give
him access to data so he can find out how many of these accounts are fake right because his his take on it was like if you were gonna buy something and you were buying it under the assumption that okay here it goes twitter set to turn bot data over to musk all right so this says that twitter's board is reportedly set to pull at about face offering elon musk internal data on hundreds of millions of tweets as advised for the billionaire to complete his acquisition of the social media company twitter set to turn over information to musk capturing more than 500 million tweets the device the post came from and other information about the account holders the washington post reported wednesday citing an unnamed person familiar with the matter such a move would help respond to musk's repeated demands for more information about the composition of twitter's user base and the extent of its problem with bots musk has challenged twitter's claims that just five percent of its accounts are bots calling the way the company calculates fake accounts very suspicious in a may tweet so um i'm really uh interested to see how this plays out because he is what he would describe as a free speech absolutist and i think that that is something that people are reluctant to uh to agree is a good thing because they're worried about the negative aspects of free speech you know they're worried about [ __ ] and you know and and trolls and all that stuff toughen up man toughen up and i'm not joking yeah
