Ellen PaoI wonder what the engagement and user numbers are for Twitter this month. They must be going up. If the manbaby can keep his shit together enough to hire a team to run and rebuild content moderation and site policies, his site might actually survive for a while
Advertisers bought reddit ads when the site had revenge porn and unauthorized nude photos; they don't care about toxic content that isn't in their face. They accept a fair amount of toxicity, just less than Twitter has now and not if it looks like it's getting much worse. Musk will figure out a plan, say a mea culpa, charm the right people and probably live another day. And then he'll be more incremental about the move to white supremacy and the frog will still boil to death eventually
Ed Sanders@ekp I can’t dispute that advertising will come back if he rights the ship, but there’s absolutely no evidence that he can right the ship.
@ekp Also, the site shrinks day-by-day, just as critical mass can provide a catalyst for growth, critical paucity can provide the catalyst for decline. Right now, Twitter is presenting the equivalent an explosion at the fireworks factory, it’s all very exciting, but when the dust settles don’t bet on anyone sticking around.
