@dangillmor One good thing about #Twitter was big brands had accounts. If you had a big following & complained about their product or service & they'd respond.
Right now I can't find any #Sodastream #Dietcola online. Their own website is out, as is #Amazon & #Target. I'm thinking this is because of a marketing deal with #Pepsi.
Twitter is no longer Brand safe.
But #Facebook #Instagram #Threads is.
So I'll complain on #Threads & tag consumer goods reporters to see if I get a response.
