Something curious is going on over on Twitter. Megan Morrone is begging individual people to subscribe to the “All Shows” feed.
Presumably, she’s hoping to boost downloads and income for one Leo Gordon Laporte — and Lisa Laporte of course — hopefully saving her job in the process.
Bad news Megan: Leo just booked $800 Bette Midler tickets in NYC and is flying first class to New York City for his birthday to see her. You know what that means.
A few examples from the large list
Tom is fantastic & helped me get my start in this biz, but could I also recommend the All TWiT Shows feed? https://t.co/uoBIWyOng6

Ah Tony! Can we still be part of it? Have you tried the All TWiT Shows feed? https://t.co/uoBIWyOng6

Or subscribe to All TWiT shows. Jason and I will be on lots more of them now. https://t.co/uoBIWz5YEG

Could you switch to coffee and another TWiT Show? https://t.co/uoBIWyOng6

Patrick is running his own scam too, trying to make Tech News Weekly a thing.
I put a little thing in the @TWiT feed generation to get recent @technewstodaytv episodes to appear in the TNW feed for the first few weeks. https://t.co/JLuO29rUj2

Instead of renaming Tech News Today, they made a new channel/show called Tech News Weekly. Weeks later, it has 450 subscribers.
That seems sad, but it’s even more sad that they stole the name from Andrew Zarian, and Zarian’s channel only has 270 subscribers after years in operation.
However, Patrick redirected all the robot downloaders of TNT — which never actually watch — to auto-download episodes of the “new” show Tech News Weekly, committing yet another fraud against PodTrac and the remaining advertisers.
Our @technews_weekly made @iTunes “Hot” list – woot! @twit @InsideTWiT pic.twitter.com/L5HaeXahyv

I wonder how that happened? Could it be that a new podcast appeared with all the subscribers of an existing, long-running one? What a legitimate accomplishment! It’s a fantastic strategy executed by TWiT CeHO Lisa Laporte.
TWiT is circling the drain and the few remaining employees are playing Survivor in real life.
