If there's one thing advertisers love, it's sites voluntarily giving their users a way to avoid seeing ads, especially if they loudly advertise this option and double especially if the sites charge for it and don't give the advertisers a large cut

Surely this will in no way backfire on him and further alienate important advertisers

There's still a lot on inertia behind twitter, with many journalist still posting to it, mostly I think as at the moment there still doesn't seem to be any clear alternative (a few alternatives are starting to get more popular but I don't think any of them are larger than niche use numbers yet). But yeah you go to any news related D&D thread and a lot of posts will have related tweets from journalists in them.

With the pay to read thing coming though, I think that will be the final blow for it, as one of the reasons tweeter got so popular as it was just really easy to share and embed tweets. Once that stops than it becomes useless.

YouTube, I have a YouTube Premium subscription and honestly don't mind paying for it, there are like two dozen accounts that I regularly watch that really do produce quality content that I am interest in, I don't mind compensating them for it.

Also I don't think advertisers really care anyways, they pay by impression, so they aren't really losing anything if their ad isn't served. Although I absolutely would not trust that X is correctly reporting impressions.

Still loving lolling a week later Musk posting out about New Vegas' 'Hegelian dialectic' relationship as if he had any loving idea the significance of what he said. He's crafted himself as the idiot's idea of a wise man.

Full Mask Off Elon has been pretty wild I have to say. I didn't think he'd completely and utterly lose his poo poo like this in front of the whole world. Just sort of like stumble and bumble like he mostly has with twitter, but like at least keep the mask on and some degree of separation from the full blown ultra-MAGA far right racist crowd so that he didn't alienate everyone in the world besides the MAGA crowd. Even Tesla Investors seem tired of the guy after the Tesla earning call and unless there's some turnaround with reputation AND money at stake I can't see any logical reason to take the plunge off the cliff with Elon. How many key Tesla investors are ultra-MAGA versus just trying to make money off of their investment even? Like it seems to me Elon now prioritizes being a far right shithead over doing the things that make the money's for his companies.

Imagine not realizing this is a complete scam. Like, I don't even care if you actually genuinely like the MLM makeup, which might actually be good eye shadow, this is a scam...







edit:

$100 less a month "After Probable Savings", rolling 27% of the car's cost into a feature that literally doesn't exist and may never exist upfront.

Look, I am sure The Pampered Chef makes very decent pans, but a scam is a scam. If you buy a Tesla, you are a sucker, paying for FSD or not.

AI video looks that way right now. They are both correct and wrong all at the same time and I find them fascinating. In a year or so, AI video will be boring, mundane and everything will look normal.
