If you're advertising on Twitter in 2023 and your target audience isn't Nazis, what are you doing? 😅

This comes as no surprise really. I noticed a marked increase in right wing insanity after Elon took over.

Wrestle with pigs, get covered in shit, or something like that.

And no one but Musk is the least bit surprised by the catastrophic failure of Twitter.

He wanted free speech with no censorship. I get it, but he also wants to make a profit. So this is was happens, I hope him and the almighty shareholders are ok with it.

Does anybody else have a feeling like it’s a New Coke situation?

Drive it into the ground, then a year later come back with a shadow CEO and say “We’re back and better than ever”…profit.

[–] TurtleJoe 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's already installed the shadow CEO.

How is that supposed to work?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Nope. I think it's a "billionaire who isn't half as smart as he thinks" situation. It's his shoddily built submarine, ready to fail catastrophically at any moment.

After all, has "New Coke" ever worked for a website? Once those users have found somewhere else, they're never coming back.
