conderoga ( @conderoga@beehaw.org ) English12•2 years agoAdvertisers need to see more articles like this. Pulling the ad dollars away from Twitter is the last lever anyone has to try to change it, and it should have happened long ago at this point.
jeffers00n ( @jeffers00n@lemmy.ml ) English9•2 years agoI don’t understand why journalists continue to call users with the blue check-mark “verified”. There’s no verification of anything but a credit card. Verification is a relic of the past and they need to shift their language to match reality. Maybe call them “paid” users.
burak ( @burak@lemmy.ml ) English1•2 years agoThat’s bogus. It helps millions of people see “verified” idiots.

Oxossi ( @Oxossi@lemmy.ml ) English4•2 years agoTwitter must be held responsible for the kind of Nazi content its allowing on their site.
LostCause ( @LostCause@kbin.social ) 2•2 years agoThat was clear to me when Musk unbanned the Neo-Nazis and there was many articles about it like: https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/02/elon-musk-nazis-kanye-twitter-andrew-anglin/?guccounter=1
So, seeing as even I could predict that 6 months ago, why the fuck are these companies still running ads there? Do they want this?

Apparently they have no issues with nazis, but the moment you mention a minor slur in a youtube video you will be demonetized into oblivion, and don’t even try showing some skin or they will call the FBI.
loki ( @loki@lemmy.ml ) 0•2 years agoI guess ads are more effective on easily brainwashed people, so it’s good for business. they want business not feel-good morals…
Zerush ( @Zerush@lemmy.ml ) English2•2 years agoThey are democratic decisions adjusted to the majority of the current remaining users of Twitter.
Rosriv ( @Rosriv@kbin.social ) 1•2 years agoAt this point, still using Twitter is like being on Reddit, I can’t say which one is worse.
ram ( @ram@lemmy.ca ) 1•2 years agoMuch as I hate jailbait hufflepuffman, twitter’s worse.
S4nvers ( @S4nvers@kbin.social ) 1•2 years agoImagine contacting a company as a journalist for comment and getting a poop emoji as a response
Twitter is almost as big of a shitshow as Reddit is
