Doctor Mike

where it's gone well for me and not the brawler.

But because I don't clip and do like, you know, Renee owns so and so, it's useless to me.

You mentioned, like we were talking a little bit earlier about people who form the parasocial relationships.

the one area where I think the parasocial relationship really comes in handy though, is when you do get attacked and that fandom is there.

Yeah.

And if you don't have that, you do notice it when the, I miss that mob comes for you.

Yes.

Because that's where it matters when you do find yourself in a situation where somebody clips the, like she got owned or like, you know, um,

political BS that I wound up having to go through with like you know my work getting investigated by Congress or you know I got sued by Stephen Miller and I found out on Twitter that I got sued by Stephen Miller when Breitbart tweeted it at me right

I was like, is this even real?

My Twitter sued.

But when you find out you're getting sued on Twitter, it turns out an entire mob of people is there to gloat about it.

And these are the moments when you're like, where's my power?

I reached out to him after Michael Schellenberger went on his show and said that I was like... So for those who don't know...

There was the Twitter files, right?

And Michael Schellenberger was a Twitter files writer.

And in the Twitter files, which was Elon kind of opening up Twitter's internal files, emails and everything, there was this crazy conspiracy theory that was not supported by the Twitter files.

But this other person, this other kind of right-wing crank, candidly, told Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, another Twitter files writer, that my team had somehow censored 22 million tweets.

during the 2020 election.

What had actually happened was we had after the election written a report and in our report we described data gathering the most viral stories of the 2020 kind of rumor mill and we described that when we added up the number of tweets there were 22 million of them.
