ChiGoose Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 LOL. Can't wait to see what the results of the super secret 3D chess plan are after lighting about $100 billion on fire and hinting about bankruptcy mere weeks into Twitter ownership.
BillsFanNC Posted November 10, 2022 Author Posted November 10, 2022 Something tells me @ChiGoose much preferred the pre Elon twitter when accounts and voices from the right were unquestionably silenced. I wonder why that is?

I wonder why that is? Well, that’s not the reason I think Elon buying Twitter is bad and dumb. I don’t have strong opinions on the twitter content moderation debate. You can curate your Twitter experience and if you find something objectionable, you can block that account. That worked fine for me. The issue I’m pointing out here is that he seems to think that the Checkmark was a product for those who received them. It’s more important as an indication to other users that the person is who they say they are. That is no longer the case. Anyone pay for a checkmark without validating their identity. Brands are small-c conservative with decisions like ad buys. Why would a brand pay money to advertise on a platform where anyone can convincingly impersonate them and harm their reputation? Revamping content moderation is fine. Combining the blue check with twitter blue and removing the validation requirement likely just killed the platform. 1

Lol Looking back at this and I think you could probably make a good chunk of change shorting a company and then creating a fake account on Twitter that posts in ways to harm the brand. Eli Lilly’s stock took a hit right around when this went viral. Edited November 11, 2022 by ChiGoose
ChiGoose Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 I’m going to miss Twitter when it goes down permanently soon, but at least it’s end has been glorious

This will not stand in the long term but if Twitter learns quickly it will be a small bump in the road. 1

ChiGoose Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Omnicom, one of the world’s biggest ad firms, representing brands like McDonald’s, Apple, and PepsiCo, is recommending clients pause spending on Twitter, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. “The memo cites the deep layoffs of Twitter trust and safety teams, the resignations of high-profile executives, and the slew of “verified” impersonation accounts as being key issues for advertisers. There is “evidence that the risk to our clients’ brand safety has risen sharply to a level most would find unacceptable,” the memo reads. “We recommend pausing activity on Twitter in the short term until the platform can prove it has reintroduced safeguards to an acceptable level and has regained control of its environment.” No surprises there. Odd that they didn’t list liberal boycotts as one of the reasons though…

But it's not going anywhere.

BillsFanNC Posted November 12, 2022 Author Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) All you need to prove former liberal activism and censorship on Twitter is one massive, memory holed anecdote. But of course there are thousands more. Brute censoring the NY Post Hunter Biden laptop story. End of story. Advertisers had no problem when Twitter did that. I wonder why?

User activity hit an all time high this past week and he’s beta testing in real time. Personally, i think it’s fascinating. The Twitter blue was an insane disaster though. Can’t have too many more stumbles on that level … ie., stock prices tanking based on fake accounts making false announcements. Twitter will be fine though. I think you may be more wishing for failure (long term) than expecting it.
