ever notice how Reddit mods don't censor posts until they start getting traction, & the reason is usually a very ill-defined rule that's completely subjective??

And if U call them out on it, U never once hear back🤔
#reddit #socialmedia #health #medtwitter @Reddit
To @Twitter & @facebook credit they do give a reason (often a bullcrap one) why Ur post got removed

Reddit doesn't have to do that, sometimes the only thing you did wrong is that Ur post was popular & that's enough

#reddit #socialmedia #freespeech
Sometimes a rule gets cited for a removal
but sometimes there's nothing at all🤷‍♂️
tbf to the Mods of Reddit,

mods U will likely communicate w/ & blame are often only the first line of defense & these decisions are made higher up in the chain of command,

As I personally got to observe in a report I did last year
thefederalist.com/2022/06/28/red…
You might notice this if you are a longtime reader of a specific sub & will notice a mod disclaimer at the top:

"sorry guys we don't want to censor people but the Reddit admin says if we don't play along they will shut us down"
so it's not completely fair to always blame the mods of whatever sub you like to use/read,

Sometimes this censorship is out of the mods hands,

some feel I softball Adam Sessler here in this article,

that I wasn't harsh enough or that I was burying the story: that Adam Sessler hates gamers

here is why that is wrong
clownfishtv.com/adam-sessler-s… #adamsessler #g4tv #videogames #gamers #gaming
When I cover a story about something a subject says, I try to not only cover the story factually but I also try to keep to the spirit of the issue

From the subject's point of view, what are they trying to say here? Not only what are the comments, but what do they mean.
e.g
yes, Adam Sessler says he hates gamers,

but if U listen to when he clarifies, he says he means people that identify w/ the hobby not everyone that plays games

Yes, for most it's a meaningless distinction, but it's a distinction nonetheless & not reporting it isn't truthful

So let's make this fun & do some inside baseball,

For example, how did the Daily Wire get so big,

Besides the quality of content, what did they do that others failed to
This is common practice btw, I'm just using Daily Wire as an example, I like the outlet fine

But in our modern world of news, it's not enough to just have your outlet post articles on your website

popular.info/p/facebook-all…
What Daily Wire understood early on was that to make it big in news, U must make it big in social media,

U must go where the folks actually are so you must strongly emphasize & push into sites like Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, etc

it's been how many years since the Affordable Health Care Act was passed & then got hollowed out

So why in the world are there still eligibility periods for applying for insurance🤦
If almost can get an excuse to waive away the insurance enrollment period requirement, why is it still there???

why hasn't congress at least made that one tiny change🤔
And why push millions of people to apply for insurance on healthcare.org

and worse, benefits when applicants cannot afford any of the options & there was never a chance of benefits, to begin with

Why have we allowed this farce to go on for over a decade??

The stuff with Adam Sessler was incredibly interesting imo
Ended up overnighting this one,

That interview was so chock full of new info categorizing the information so putting together the write up took considerably more effort than I anticipated 😅

Totally worth it
It's interesting the G4TV reboot has legs some almost 5 months since it shut down

Comcast really failed to understand how attached people were to that brand

interview w/ Adam Sessler @TheBPITU is solid,

masterful in how they got Sessler to open up about topics he wasn't comfortable talking about

At times Sessler was a riot
a funny guy w/ a starring affability.

Too bad he's become so cynical,
Seems like a waste of talent😨 ImageImage
Watching @italianpepsiman & @dickmasterson bring out that old Sessler shine reminds us why we loved him on X-play,

back in the day, he really was good at his job
#gamers #gaming #g4tv #adamsessler
The saddest part for me of all this,

is that Adam cannot see genuine admiration or kindness from people who actually do like him & wish him well.

There's no friendly way to put this:

The new CDC Opioids Guidelines are a farce when it comes to saving patients' lives.

usatoday.com/story/opinion/… #chronicpain #opioids #opioidcrisis #fentanyl #lawenforcement #drugs #politics #health #disability #disabled #cancer #addiction #pain
The CDC 2022 update is not meant to reform the guidelines

It's meant to absolve the CDC of guilt & wash its hands of an opioid prohibition & crisis it helped create

usatoday.com/story/opinion/… @elizableu @yashar @chadfelixg @conor64 @lhfang @stillgray @joerogan @TaylorLorenz
Christopher Jones, acting director of CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention & Control

Said the guideline is about "improving the lives of patients living with pain.”

Then why did the CDC push further & deeper restrictions against patients?
