WIRED Exposes Secret $8K Influencer Network. David Pakman Named?

A new WIRED investigation reports that a secret program offered influencers up to $8,000 per month to boost Democratic messaging, with contracts that bar disclosure and impose content limits. The effort is tied to Chorus, described in contracts as a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, and creators were told more than 90 influencers would take part.

WIRED names several creators who were included in communications about the program, including David Pakman. The article says some were included in an onboarding session for those receiving payments, and that most did not respond to requests for comment.
