Between the Iheartradio fake podcast listeners story, Facebook getting publications to pivot to video with fake data, and now this story about WB HBO max cooking the books… kinda feels like our entire attention economy is built like a ponzi scheme and all this shit is made up— Jacqueline (DJ Horse Jeans) (@Horse_Jeans) September 28, 2022
