YouTube 10 years ago: we’re becoming as straight-edged as possible to keep advertisers around

Twitter now: Fuck you (wait we needed you)

[ivanafterall@lemmy.world]

Let me ask you this: how many ads have you run on Twitter? Does that strike you as fair?

[jeremyhuntqw12@lemmy.world]

Laws introduced to prevent people from boycotting israeli companies allow Musk to sueanyone who won't advertise on X for political reasons.

And no, the first amendment doesn't protect speech for private companies.

He'll win.

It's worse for him if they are kept alive because it's a public reminder how much they hate him. Nestle starting shipping his kids the good food reserved for the lizard people only

Yeah any judge should have just waited for a paternity test.

[malek061@lemmy.world]

No he won't.

[andros_rex@lemmy.world]

The legal system is essentially purchased at this point (remember everyone gloating about how the Onion bought InfoWars?)

There’s a chance he might find a toadie judge and get something out of this. Or at least be obnoxious enough that others might preemptively comply with something.

i don't understand how it's a boycott

[wolflink@sh.itjust.works]

Criminal contempt of business model

It's a Good Thing Elon doesn't Own the DOJ!

"The lawsuit isn’t the only place where executives have offered a pessimistic assessment of X’s business. The company’s owner Elon Musk reportedly told employees in January that “user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we’re barely breaking even.”"

He's gone crazy from power. People like that are dangerous.

[zerofk@lemm.ee]

Just fire some people, that’ll drive profits up.

[archrecord@lemm.ee]

It's not a boycott, neither is it illegal. He's literally just being a crybaby and believes that anybody not pandering to his business model should be forced by the courts to give him money regardless.

Not if there's fewer there to see ads

But you usually pay per click or impression, not a flat rate. So that alone shouldn't be a reason for them to stop advertising there
