Why would they “take it down” when anyone with even a modicum of business knowledge would assume a better replacement would be created and take it’s place. This making the next version of Twitter even harder to control.

Taking it over and controlling the content on it is/was the smart play, especially if you’re going to fork over the $ to buy it outright.

Stop trying to justify Elon’s shit business decisions. He can just be a fucking moron that got lucky with a few strategic purchases.

You’ve mistaken Lemmy for Twitter. That’s where you post made up shit.

Yes. I tend to have a blacked out carry. Then I have an all black carry and lastly, an everything black carry.

I like the variety.

Those aren’t the same customer demographics. The overwhelming majority of mobile phone gamers don’t know the first thing about emulators. Not to mention, other factors like mobile games being designed to tap into addictive triggers in the brain, social engineering, etc.

Out of all the games you listed, I believe King prints the most $ for Activision.

The people who deliver themselves into thinking this was strategic or a “4d chess move” are the same moronic Stans that enabled the emperor has no clothes scenario.

I worked for Musk for longer than I care to admit, well before the world caught on to what an evil snake oil salesman he is and I endorse this post.

Let me just say after my time that the pedophile thing is probably nowhere near the worst thing that man has said or done to others he deems unworthy.

Yep, between fixed mounted TV’s with zero space behind the TV to reach the HDMI ports or the TVs that have the weird cable box software that blocks you from accessing the tv inputs it was doomed from the beginning.

But when will we finally be free of the pages upon pages of job listings for stable boys. Who will care for all the horses?!

You lost all credibility when you said it was “less about the costs”

I recently hired a mid -level manager from McDs strategy team and it’s at least 90% about cost reduction. They’re watching the adoption curve, because older and urban demographics still mostly order at the counter and refuse to use the self ordering lines. That’s why they offer free fries and free upgrades at select locations for using self ordering to force the greater adoption.

Also they’ve started reducing headcount in locations where adoption is higher, but still limit hours to hourly workers.

It’s all right there if you want to believe it, but good luck with the spin.
