2021 Steph Curry ridiculous shotmaking

Joe Lim estimates that 90 percent of what you see on the internet is advertising in disguise, and he should know. For three years, Lim ran a company called Floodify, which at its peak operated 65,000 dummy social-media accounts used to drum up attention on behalf of paying clients. The point of this kind of marketing is that nobody is supposed to notice it. But lately, the machinery has started to show. In April, Justin Bieber headlined two consecutive weekends at Coachella. Coachella is the biggest stage in pop music save only for the Super Bowl, the kind of event that in theory generates its own attention. And yet on both weekends, a Discord server writer Lane Brown had been monitoring hosted paid campaigns for Bieber’s Coachella performances, offering clippers — people who are hired to turn a song, trailer, interview, stump speech, or whatever into short, social-media-friendly fragments — as much as a dollar per thousand views. “On social media, popular opinion is being formed, measured, and manipulated all at once, and every signal the platforms produce — a trending song, a backlash, a talking point, the feeling that ‘everybody’ is suddenly talking about the same thing — can now be fabricated by unseen actors with hidden agendas,” writes Brown. “Everybody is doing this now,” Lim says. “And if you’re not, you’re behind.” Brown reports on how the same techniques are now being used to fool people on every app they go to in order to find out what other people think, not just in music but across entertainment, politics, consumer products, and celebrity gossip: nymag.visitlink.me/w6Bu9N

Dybantsa a whole inch taller than LeBron

WE'RE PICKING SECOND IN THE 2026 NHL DRAFT! 👏

Mozzy tries pizza in Rome, says it isn’t messing with Mountain Mike’s 😂

The last valid NBA champion according to recent Nikola Jokic redirect online: ❌2025 - OKC won title without beating a team with over 50 wins ❌2024 - Boston won title without beating a team with over 50 wins ❌2023 - Denver won title without beating a team with over 50 wins ✅2022 - GSW won title beating 3 teams with over 50 wins

The record of each opponent Nikola Jokic faced in his NBA finals run: First round: 42 win team Second round: 45 win team Conference Finals: 43 win team NBA finals: 44 win team He has NEVER beaten a 50+ win team in the postseason 🤯

I can’t believe the Niners passed on Caleb Lomu

Yeah I'm done with John Lynch.

Jokic is like a psyop or something one day the media just randomly decided this guy is the goat and he has never backed it up and they all just keep ignoring how shit he is every year in the playoffs

Tragic. If they make the playoffs I’m gonna lose my mind.

This app is the worst. Why am I not seeing updated tweets about one of the best games of all time? It’s all slop from 4 hours ago.

This is from 2023, but still remains GOATED. Don't let anyone lie to you about who the face of the NBA has been for the last decade. It's Steph Curry.

Let’s update that to top 15

Cam Boozer looks like a more well rounded Blake Griffin without the athleticism

Isaiah Evans 6-6 7 foot wingspan looking like a mini Naz Reed from 3. Why is he not a top 20 picks?

Thank you, Coach Bennett! #GaelsRise
