According to the piece, a UK social media manager is behind the account. The whole thing is a little inside baseball to me.

Quote

It appears the mystery behind Twitter’s @SecretTourPro has come to an end.

Michael Double, a social media manager based in the UK, is the name of the man behind the account, per a series of events that transpired during my live broadcast on Twitch, the popular live video game streaming service and foundation for Swingcast, sponsored by SwingBySwing.com. His is the name I had been told days prior by multiple sources.

It's kind of a letdown like when Deep Throat's identity was revealed.

This doesn't come as a surprise to me. I vaguely recall having another thread on the matter and the general consensus was that STP seemed to have several perspectives and some of his photos were just cropped from the internet. Makes sense that it's just a guy piecing together different things from his clients.

I have an irrational annoyance w/this guy. He's often wrong and people keep following him.

In today's news world being right has far less importance that it did before the explosion of social media. Seems he might have figured out the social media thing pretty well. Nobody really cares if its real or right just if its juicy. Sad comment on our society.

And if your wondering, yes, I am an old guy complaining.

Glad I'm not the only one. Also being first more important too.

I agree. This is a real problem now and there is no accountability for being wrong, misleading or outright lying. And I don't like the anonymous part either.

Except for this guy!

Par for the course on social media.  Pun intended.
