Oligarchs get cozy with oligarchs, what a shocker.
It’s time to drop Disney+.
Should have 5 years ago. Mostly cause fuck disney, but I get why you had it.
I dropped Xitter as soon as it became apparent that Elon was going to buy it and started pirating Disney (and everyone else) shortly after. Couldn’t tell you the last time I bought anything IBM but I’ll have to be more careful about it. I’m switching to a local fiber provider so I’m leaving comcast in a couple of weeks.
Is it bad that for a brief moment when you said you were switching to a local fiber provider, I thought you were talking about making sure you tdke healthy poops?
Death to Comcast, Disney, and IBM.
And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It’s the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It’s always about money.
IBM helping out the Nazis is pretty par for the course
Ah, a history joke! Don’t forget Coke(Fanta)! Also, the history of Volkswagon is pretty interesting.
The surprising part is, despite everything Henry Ford believed, I don’t remember ever hearing Ford being on that list.
We have Teslawagan and Xoebels now as well
“X’s owner now has the ear of the president-elect, a man who has a long history of helping his friends, and punishing his enemies,” said Max Willens, senior analyst, at Emarketer. “Sending at least a trickle of ad spending toward X may be seen as good for business, albeit in an indirect way.”
There’s the article in a nutshell. Give Elmo money or face the wrath of the Diaper-in-Chief.
Terrorists win!
…wait, but I wasn’t playing socom…
Nuh-uh! Americans can’t be terrorists cuz Americans kill the terrorist, like Malcolm X and Jamal Khashoggi… Wait, are we the bad guys?
Always have been.
In reality this is just them playing along, if anyone were to do anything drastic to these companies they would have a very bad time.
This is beautiful! It’s like a textbook example for everyone paying attention to draw crisp conclusions for how the system works.
if people haven’t caught that half the shit we read in the headlines is literally means nothing, just slop at this point, i don’t know man… just take me to the fucking farm already, put me out of my misery
Takes sunzu2 to the farm, and hooks them up to the milking machine
…what? I can’t kill you for meat. Nobody eats human meat. But I can milk ya!
in the future, it i will be a privilege to die
i am not joking either.
Bending the knee
And lifting their a## up, so they are better accessible
It doesn’t work that way with advertising. They need to go where their customers go. Bots don’t buy.
But Twitter has been bleeding users. And since the election there has been a very public and very large exodus, including a lot of bigger names with tons of followers. So this isn’t about “go where the viewers are.” This is “spend money to stay on the good side of someone who might be even more inordinately powerful with an incredibly powerful and vengeful sidekick.”
They don’t need to advertise anywhere.
They’re going to twitter for a reason.“X’s owner now has the ear of the president-elect, a man who has a long history of helping his friends, and punishing his enemies,” said Max Willens, senior analyst, at Emarketer
This isn’t advertising, it’s tribute.
It’s sending a sacrificial pawn so the tyrant doesn’t think of their absence.
When have Comcast, Disney, or IBM ever have been on the wrong side of history? /s
IBM itching to get involved with another genocide. They can track all the undesirables digitally much easier now!
I almost can’t blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.
A majority of American citizens who voted…that’s an important distinction. Roughly 29% of voting age american citizens and 22% of all american citizens - a sizeable minority but a minority nonetheless - voted for fascism and racism.
Well the ones who didn’t vote obviously weren’t too bothered by fascism and racism either, apparently
Yeah, fair point. Or saw that both sides probably lead to the same end eventually.
The “almost” in this statement is absolutely crucial. Nicely done.
They can eat their shit
Horrible timing. Millions are leaving and going to BlueSky.
Going after the coveted racist bot market.
They don’t care where the money comes from, and at this point they know there’s no cost to their reputation for doing shit like this either.
Of course they are they only care about money.
Maybe they dont want to fall out windows. Remember who people voted for.
