Luxury? What luxury, twitter is just a feed of memes, short remarks and porn What feature could they possibly have held back???

I know it's easy to just rag on twitter, but I think that everyone needs to remember that a lot of the problems Twitter is facing are also problems that the entire industry is facing.

Ad rates are down across the board. You hear YouTubers talking about it, you here people who run websites talking about it, and that's just the way things are.

Everyone got really pissed off at Elon for the mass layoffs, but everyone seems to forget that every other company also did layoffs just a few months later.

In short, blame them for the stuff that he actually did, not systemic trends that affect everyone.

Advertisers don’t want to advertise on Twitter anymore even after Elon fired all the talent and essentially drove the platform into the ground? Noooooo…

I saw one of his interview where he said he doesnt care about money. May be thats why he spills all that shit on twitter. Does twitter even post their cashflow , I know its publicly traded but never saw cashflow being posted. Idk if Elon cares but We 9-5 plebs do care about money coz we got mortgage and shit , may be that why we hate all billionaires.

Twitter is no longer publicly traded. One of the first changes Musk made upon purchase was pulling it off the market. Ostensibly so he could ruin it faster.

The moment Threads properly implement hashtags and trending topics, Twitter is finished.

Zuckerberg doesn't even need to federate to achieve this. He got well over 100 million signups. He's good.

Oh cool daily Twitter news updates are on Lemmy too. I have never had a Twitter account and I will never have a Twitter account.

While I'm the same and agree, I'm certainly loving the drama and downfall of that toolbag.

More nazis should fix the revenue issues. Advertisers love associating themselves with hated people. Advertisers hate making a profit. Forever Elone, Musk will need to share sucking dick to turn a profit. If you look on twitter you'll notice his lips are chapped.
