Is this dumb scam $8 per year or per month? If it's per month, you're shelling out about $100 a year for the possibility of receiving $100 in ad share revenue....if Elon likes like...and isn't lazy enough to forget about paying.

Wikipedia posted:

A pyramid scheme is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products. As recruiting multiplies, recruiting becomes quickly impossible, and most members are unable to profit; as such, pyramid schemes are unsustainable and often illegal.

General reminder that using X at all is funding Elons ability to send money to that guy who thinks long form child sexual abuse is ok to post online.

Don’t use X.

I hope he runs this completely into the ground by end of the year, with actual consequences in his other businesses (or the very least Tesla), due to pissing away 44bn dollars and affecting the collaterals put up for this bullshit. I want to see the ultimate meltdown of him.

Oh so you’re fine being complicit in the fact that every time you embed a tweet instead of screencapping it, Andrew Tate personally kidnaps a Romanian child in a Tesla Cybervan.

Can someone explain to me exactly why embedding tweet links here will benefit Elon or his dumb site in any way above and beyond screenshotting?

If anything I feel like the additional strain on their servers by loading the embeds er uh I mean illegal and illicit website scraping is probably just picking away at that struggling backend even more.

Oh hey actually, does viewing an embedded tweet count toward the number of impressions that the payouts are based on?

Those “impressions” or “view” numbers are either completely fabricated metrics (massively boosted) or personally hand typed by Elon while at his absolute peak Ketamine state.

You know I am not really your father.





pre-elon i use to be certain that part of twitter's analytics was embeds and hits from embeds. i'm sure they still do but i wonder how influential it is..

anyways, i generally try not to link any chuds' twitter account based off that... but also using up twitter's bandwidth when they're trying to nickle and dime their infrastructure is fine by me. i'm assuming they cache most things but also it's very easy to assume that they're one slip up away from loving that up.

it doesn't matter either way imo.. maybe just paste the twitter image embed instead of the direct tweet in case they keep turning on/off tweets for non logged in users. otherwise i'm not sure how consuming these tweets via screenshot absolves any feelings you have that touching anything twitter is somehow CSAM or supports CSAM.

I like this site for quickly turning tweets to images, just select "no background" and it comes out v clean.

We have to post links instead of screenshots. I just got off the phone with Elon Musk and he said screenshots constitute illegal data scraping.

The reason I want screenshots is I keep clicking through on embeds then realising I can’t and it irritates me. So really you should screenshot, for the good of me, sometbing awful forums user Jakabite :)
