The numbers are catastrophically bad, according to leaks from those that have seen them (debt holders). I don't doubt it, but I just haven't seen articles saying that not only are they losing former advertisers, but they aren't gaining any either.Â

All the brands are leaving within the same timeframe for the same reason. It's not like they'd lose Ford, and then Chevy is gonna swoop in with a big money media buy.  Major brands don't want to attach their reputations to the chaos, and Twitter isn't important enough advertising-wise to justify the risk.  Is that what you were looking for? Like, they'd lose KFC, but gain Popeyes?  They all have the same mindset...avoid unnecessary drama.

Â They all have the same mindset...avoid unnecessary drama. no, i wasnt thinking that linearly. surely not all companies think the same and where some leave, some must arrive. im just curious about what the numbers are for that, and not just seeing how many old adverts they lost.Â

April 1, 20232 yr He has two options now, pathetically attempt to publicly shame celebrities and notable figures for not paying, or admit it's a really dumb policy and reverse course by saying certain accounts don't have to pay after all.

The whole point in buying Twitter was for Elon to try and resurrect X.com. His end goal is to try and make WeChat for the US market. There is a lot more money in financial transaction fees then there ever is in advertising.

I am in favor of banning any public figure with a large following who consistently uses the platform to push flagrant lies as truth, push wild, inaccurate conspiracy theories, and whose words are used to cause harm against another. It didn't matter if they were a conservative, democrat, purple, penguin, or anything else. There is a difference between sharing your views versus spreading blatant and harmful lies. The issue is that too many people now believe those lies are true, so they confuse "views" with lies made to divide. Twitter should have shut all that garbage down a lot sooner, but here we are.

I'm in favor of rules and consequences. Like now, I am sure you wailed like a widow when Marjorie Greene was kicked off Twitter by liberals, and yet, here we are with her being kicked off by conservatives. Â You should be happy.

April 3, 20232 yr I see a .01% chance that this is Elon killing Twitter as a public service. Â Probably not that high a chance, really.
