TotalLossBrain posted:Who do you think got wrecked worse by his idiotic Twitter buy? Definitely twitter, there were already clues that Elmo was a huge moron and the truth would come out sooner or later but twitter could have been a solid business eventually and he’s pretty much wrecked it completely Or to put it another way, I liked twitter before he got his hands on it. I already didn’t like ol musky

TotalLossBrain posted:Who do you think got wrecked worse by his idiotic Twitter buy? Twitter might have been doomed already, it was never profitable until around 2018-2019 and became stagnant again shortly after. It's a popular site but not one that has any direct mechanism for generating revenue outside of advertising, Musk flailing and trying to implement them with his own dumbass ideas certainly isn't going to turn things around.

What's funny is that he could've done everything he wanted to do, fire everyone, loosen rules and add nonsense but he decided to flame out so publicly instead of quietly taking steps to prove his business acumen. It was probably very possible to make Twitter profitable but Elon did the exact opposite of anything anyone would advise and it'd be really quite amusing if he weren't so goddamned cringey.

Jelly posted:Has anyone explained why Musk is so cucked by non-American pedophile catturd2? I can't begin to understand it. He has no value as a human being. There is nothing to gain and plenty to lose. I understand Musk is an absolute moron who doesn't do things that make sense but you can almost always have some understanding of why he thinks it makes sense. I'm drawing a blank here. Despite admitted inaccuracies I think can answer why Musk likes Catturd so much It's because Musk's sense of humour is so profoundly baseline and undeveloped that Catturd's incredibly lame and godawful posting resonates with him hard. He's a rightwing posting icon because he's a gigantic loving boomer, and Musk is literally incapable of articulating himself beyond the most basic of basic "thing bad, people mad!" poo poo the right calls hard hitting jokes. Actual well crafted humour generally requires some level of thought on the side of the observer to be worth it, I'm not exactly talking brain busting neural activity but the ability to read a layup and wait for a payoff and Musk simply fails at this entirely. He is profoundly stupid and for this reason Catturd might as well be Oscar fuckin Wilde

Catturd is like the archetype of all the sad zeros that he wants to be popular with. He's like a middle school bully where they sometimes seek the approval and companionship of other broken assholes. Musk sees himself in Catturd.

This is why Musk will never hire a writer. He wants all the adoration to be based on what he perceives as his own merit, but he lacks any imagination so he just yes ands or rips off other people uncredited. If he had someone to ghost write for him he'd quickly get jealous and fire them

shyduck posted:https://twitter.com/carlquintanilla/status/1644101851439136769?t=n58ZVzzE-_vvkuKiDIfJlA&s=19 This isn't good. Nothing is certain and everything right now is just weird and hosed so maybe I'm talking out of my rear end but the article has people openly talking about how much Musk sucks, however they are willing to let him plead his case. Which... why? At this point it's clear he's a loving idiot and after how badly his idiot decisions have burned some brands why would anyone think they aren't next? It just makes me think they are really looking for any excuse to bring their advertising back to Twitter, and it only takes a few major ones to potentially give advertisers confidence in Twitter again. Musk also seems to have the ability to never get fact checked when he's speaking in person or get any amount of push back. I think this is mainly because Neo Libs NEED Musk to be who he claims to be, because if he isn't then what the gently caress are they? He's a con man but so to are the rest of them, when it comes to it.

thin blue whine posted:It just makes me think they are really looking for any excuse to bring their advertising back to Twitter, and it only takes a few major ones to potentially give advertisers confidence in Twitter again. I've long suspected (as I'm sure many do) that the vast majority of people either don't care or won't change their habits regarding brands who advertise next to lovely content. The only saving grace was that corporations didn't want to risk harming their brands and this in turn provided an incentive for a lot of platforms to at least make a minimal effort to moderate in order to appease advertisers. At least to boot mask of nazis and what not. I have a very bad feeling that the big corps are going to come back to Twitter and then everyone is going to realize that it actually doesn't really matter much at all where you advertise and how vile the content next to your ad might be vs not advertising at all, and the Internet will get a whole lot worse once social media companies realize that moderation has no effect on their bottom line.

Elon Musk doesn't yes-and. Yes-and implies building on what he agreed with to develop it more as his own spin or extension of the original statement. All Elon can ever do is parrot back the original statement and try to hope people believe he came up with it first because he's a talentless idiot. Mr Scumbag posted:I've long suspected (as I'm sure many do) that the vast majority of people either don't care or won't change their habits regarding brands who advertise next to lovely content.

There's no money in the company, Elon's buried in scandal after scandal, and the userbase has been decreasing since the takeover. It's just a plain bad investment.

All it really does is make Musk/Twitter more desperate and puts advertisers in a better position to haggle down their price which I can imagine is possibly enticement enough to come back for at least some of them. At the end of the day it's all about getting as many eyes on your product as possible and as diminished as Twitter is, it still has millions of users. It feels a little like advertisers didn't so much jump ship, but temporarily withdrew to see which way the wind would blow. All of this is presupposing, as mentioned before, that they decide to say "gently caress it" and chance advertising next to vile poo poo. I think at least some of the big boys will probably chance it. But I hope you're right.

Honestly I think the question just becomes “why risk it”. There are other places to spend your limited advertising dollars, why take the risk on this extremely volatile platform run by an rear end in a top hat you hate.

Remember when Musk got booed by a crowd lame enough to pay to see Dave Chapelle and his knee jerk reaction was to scream “I’m rich, bitch!”? That’s Musk, and, at length, the right wing sphere in a nutshell: net worth equals societal worth.

kazil posted:and that will make Grimes love him again? It is 2029. Elon Musk sets his new AI super-computer to the task of computing an answer to the ultimate question, which is: how do I make Grimes love me again? The supercomputer agrees, but there is a catch: the calculation will take 10,000 years to run. With a heavy heart, Musk agrees, and the computations begin. Ten thousand years later, Robo-Musk, Lord Emperor of the Solar System and Supreme Meme Approver, arrives back on Earth having made the arduous journey from his Jovian pleasure palace. Sitting before the ancient super computer, he awaits its response. Suddenly, the screen flickers to life. The AI speaks, telling Musk it has arrived at an answer and it thinks he's going to like it. Musk eagerly prompts the computer to reveal its answer. "Okay", says the computer. "Four hundred and twenty." Musk sits in silence for a moment, then speaks. "🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"

There used to be third party clients that can be used to never get ads served but it seems like musk has ordered for them to be blocked. I was using one with no rt or qt stats which was really good to avoid looking at how tweets were "performing" to force engagement
