jonion"Misinformers" "Bad actors"
Do people actually take these terms seriously?
ReclipseNo. It just means people you disagree with.
dumplesI don't understand how a company that isn't profitable with free content expects to make money by paying people to give content, especially if its any content. It is going to be filled with the stupidest, most cringeworthy content of all time at this point with no advertisers wanting to join. I can't wait to continue to not being on twitter
TrismegistusMxThe value of owning Twitter isn’t the profitability of the company, it’s the ability to control the conversation. It’s the same reason Spez is tanking Reddit. Both platforms were enabling leftist dialogue, and that must be stopped at any cost.
fearoutAnd why does it have to be stopped exactly?
You really need to ask? Leftist discourse is inherently anti-authoritarian. When people form communities and start acting in their own best interest, they begin working against the interests of capitalist slavers.
Oh, I thought you were stating that as your position, so was curious to hear the take. I totally get why that's in their interest though.
Probably not even stupidest or cringeworthy, just something that gets the most views/engagement. And usually that’s the most controversial or hateful stuff, that vile people flock to agree with and others come to defend/voice their disagreements with.
Yeah exactly. Rage bait in all forms. Political, cringe, stupid-food, hate-porn, misinformation, etc.
thingsiplay@stopthatgirl7 I'm not well informed. When I read something about the new revenue program about Twitter, I thought it was sarcasm and a joke. 2023 is a really interesting year.

style99According to advertising data from Sensor Tower, Twitter’s top 5 advertisers in June — Mondelez International, The Wall Street Journal, HBO, Apple, and FinanceBuzz.io (Buzzery, LLC) — spent nearly $17 million on Twitter ads.
I wonder how proud of the Nazi/KKK mouthpieces Apple is. Something tells me that this money isn't going to be sticking around very long.
XeeleeThe system works as designed.
DarnovSo much money to be made from grifting right wingers.
DarkGamerBy monetizing disinformation, Musk has now effectively crowdsourced Russia's Internet Research Agency.
TZUI1hRqLeft wing DNC shill Krassenstein got paid thousands.
Your mere eyeballs on the content posted by these people -- even if just to see what is being said and not because you like it -- is being transformed into direct financial support.
You are the product on Twitter, and that product is being sold to advertisers with the proceeds going to Andrew Tate.
Leave the platform.
Not surprising since that is who bought the verification mostly.
