‘Horny couch’ from Jeremy Allen White’s Clavin Klein commercial up for grabs online— and it’s free

Yes, chef, we would.One lucky buyer could be the proud owner of the infamous red corduroy couch as seen in the internet-breaking Calvin Klein ad featuring a nearly-naked White. (Although swooners were likely more interested in the buff actor’s washboard abs than the mundane piece of furniture.)The best part? It will cost an avid superfan $0.The Facebook Marketplace listing, posted by Kate Krupa, boasted the prized possession, deemed in “fair” condition, as the “hottest seat in town,” and insinuated, in not-so-many words, that the couch was allegedly the very same that appeared in the steamy undergarments advert.“Long story short, my husband (who works for an agency that works with Facebook) asked me ‘Why don’t you list it on Facebook Marketplace?’ So here it is!” the New York City vendor wrote.

Netflix’s ad tier hits 15M subscribers one year after launch
ad-supported tier had reached 15 million active users per month, a year after the streaming giant launched the cheaper plan to revive subscriber growth and revenue following a slowdown.The company had five million monthly ad-tier users in May and has been hiking prices on its ad-free options in an effort to nudge more subscribers to the other tier, where commercials help bring in more revenue per user.Netflix increased subscription prices for some streaming plans in the United States, Britain, and France last month, after its third-quarter subscriber additions of 9 million shattered Wall Street expectations of 6 million.After resisting commercials for years, Netflix had a change of heart in April 2022 after it lost subscribers in the first quarter of the year.A month after Netflix’s ad-plan launch last year, rival Disney+ also rolled out its ad version in an attempt to push its streaming business into profitability.Streaming services such as HBO Max, Paramount+ and Peacock also offer ad-supported versions of their services, emulating the business model that has long supported the television business.Amazon’s Prime Video will next year join its streaming rivals in rolling out ads and introducing a higher-priced ad-free tier.Netflix said during its third-quarter results that the adoption of its ads plan, which costs $6.99 per month in the US, continued to grow with membership up almost 70% sequentially.

TikTok Monitored Users Who Watched LGBT Content
An investigation by The Wall Street Journal finds that the popular video-streaming app TikTok compiled a list of users who were being monitored after watching gay-themed content on the app.According to former company employees in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, TikTok compiled a list of users who watched clips tagged as “LGBT” and stored it on a dashboard.Lists were also compiled for users who perused videos dealing with other topics, but the employees didn’t believe that those lists raised the same level of concern for users’ safety and privacy.The former employees, who objected to the policy, were worried that the users’ information would be shared with outside parties or could be potentially used to blackmail users.They brought their concerns to top executives at the company in 2020 and 2021.Typically, many social media companies compile data on users based on their online behavior, with the intention of using it to select content or advertisements that a user might be interested in seeing while using the app.But best practices among social media companies generally discourage tracking traits such as sexuality, especially in parts of the world where homosexuality is criminalized or where LGBTQ people can be harassed or assaulted for their identities. Last year, the LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD urged tech companies to take greater steps to safeguard user data and privacy, including stopping targeted surveillance advertising, over concerns that such information could harm LGBTQ people if it fell into the wrong hands.According to the former TikTok employees, the app organizes all the videos its users post into a web of clusters, sorted by topic.The clusters are labeled with identifiers, including ones
