I want to address an ongoing issue affecting NBA content creators on this app. Recently, the @NBA has started targeting accounts with mass copyright claims on recent posts, which can eventually lead to accounts being suspended. My account was previously suspended because of this, but luckily, I was able to get it back.
At a time when the NBA is becoming less and less accessible, I genuinely don’t understand why the league would go this route. Why make your product even harder to access by taking down accounts that essentially provide free advertising? It makes no sense to me.
The NBA’s play-by-play highlight feature has also been down for weeks now, making it even harder for fans and content creators to access clips through their website.
To make matters worse, the NBA does a terrible job of posting highlights on its own pages. If you check their accounts, you'll see how limited their content is compared to the amount of games being played every night.
So how exactly are NBA fans supposed to keep up with their favorite teams if they can't afford to watch games live? For many fans, it's through the highlight accounts on this app.
Adam Silver once said, “There’s a huge amount of our content that people can essentially consume for free. And this is very much a highlights-based sport.” He said this while responding to concerns about the rising cost of watching NBA games across multiple streaming services.
I find it extremely hypocritical that the same content fans are supposedly able to “consume for free” is now being targeted with copyright claims and taken down.
The league should take notes from the NFL. They consistently post highlights across their platforms and make it easy for fans to keep up with the sport, even without watching every game live.
Highlight accounts help grow the game, keep fans engaged, and give players more exposure. Instead of treating these accounts like a problem, the NBA should recognize the value they bring to the league.

This will backfire horribly
Dumb theory here:
The NBA is trying to double down on monetizing the league through social media a bit more given that the salary cap isn’t rising the 10% year-over-year that many were hoping it would. As a result, controlling revenue through official channels is important.

AIPAC just changed their name to the United Democracy Project (UDP), thinking we wouldn’t notice…
They pulled any continued funding under their prior PAC, in an attempt to disassociate from the hate they receive regularly, and throw us off their track.
You cannot hide.

Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵

Sorry if this comes off as desperate. I know I’m asking for a lot, but anything would genuinely help. I’ve been wanting to play the new GTA so badly, and it would honestly mean the world to me if I got the chance to play it 🙏❤️
