A part of this stream was about a thread I wrote.
I'm going to correct some of the things the guys from @MeidasTouch said.
1. They claim "there is no face to this account." That is false. My face is on by Twitter Banner, and I have appeared on @michaeljknowles show...
2/
While I do use a pseudonym, I'm not hiding.
2. At 12:42 of the stream Ben from Meidastouch claims I said they got Neil Young and others to boycott spotify.
I never said that.
They're trying to make me look like a conspiracy theorist by attributing claims to me I never made
3/
At no point did I say they had anything to do with Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, or any other famous artist.
3. At the 30:00They claim they had nothing to do with the @patriottakes video of Joe Rogan Saying the N-word.
This is a dodge, but I'll need to explain exactly how...
4/
@MeidasTouch did not create the video, that's not the point. In my thread I said that they "had a hand in it." What I mean there is the hand Meidastouch had in that video by spreading, amplifying, and boosting the signal of that video. It wasn't just retweets. I'll show you...

This is the twitter feed of Ben Meiselas (@meiselasb) of Meidastouch.
His whole feed is just tweet and RT's of Joe Rogan clips that make Rogan look bad. Ben has 162k followers. He is not just RTing for agreement...he is reaching for "saturation."
What's "Saturation" you ask?
6/
Saturation is when you make sure a message (usually an ad, but it can be any messaging) has been repeated enough times in enough places that everybody hears it.
Running an ad once won't work not enough people see it. So, you need to run it many times.
That's what Ben did...
7/
He is tweeting and RTing ugly Rogan clips over and over and over because he knows people are on twitter at different times (and the algorithm can be unpredictable) and he wants to achieve saturation and make sure everyone who might see his tweets will see an ugly Rogan clip...
8/
Thebfeeds of Jordy and Brett, and also the @MeidasTouch account are filled with tweets and RT's of ugly Rogan clips.
All 3 of meidastouch owners have more than 140k followers and the meidas touch account has more than 700k
Thats more than a Million people.
Get the point?
9/
The Meidastouch crew did not create the video, but they worked with @patriottakes to amplify and boost the signal of the video so it would get traction and go viral.
They were manufacturing virality, and they knew precisely what they were doing because they are professionals.
10/
4. At 33:08 Ben says Meidastouch never called for Rogan to be terminated.
This is nonsense.
What they did is amplify a tweet from @patriottakes that demanded Spotify terminate Joe Rogan. and they followed that tweet up with a fundraising plea for @patriottakes...
11/
So yes, they were calling for Rogan to be fired.
And just to be clear, an RT may not be an endorsement, but if you QT a demand for Rogan to be fired and in that QT congratulate the people making the demand, and then fund-raise off that work...then yes that is an endorsement.
12/
5. At 35:30 Ben from Meidastouch says I claimed he was part of a cabal.
I never claimed this.
6. At 37:30 Jordy from Meidastouch said @stoolpresidente "can't have a conversation with Wokal like you're having with us."
That's false. I'd love to chat with @stoolpresidente
13/
I stand by what I wrote.
The current heat on Joe Rogan is a result of a well organized social media campaign carried out by professionals and the resulting outrage is about as organic as a gummy bear, and we need to stop pretending otherwise.
