What's a dit, and why is it red? I mean, I keep intoning to friends, "If it's free, you're the product." Reddit has just admitted y'all are worth nothing. At least, not enough to keep the lights on. Despite all of the content produced, and hours volunteered for curation. And software developers having professional teams writing software to extend the ecosystem.
Worth. Nothing to them.
Musk with Twitter has demonstrated that having a lying cheapskate fascist encouraging your one real revenue stream (advertisement) to abandon you may be an unwise life choice, and that not paying rent might not be a viable long-term strategy; but this is 🤬 obvious. You don't acquire a thing only to destroy it.
Or you do, and I'll herald Musk as the solution to our world's modern problems if Twitter is just step one, next up: Meta and Facebook. But… he's not actually that rich. Or that altruistic. Or that intelligent. He's just been coasting on the backs of the brilliant people around him. His "solo" ventures are quite literal jokes. Just look at how he dances and trolls and doge's and "Boring company" selling flamethrowers instead of digging tunnels. And how's that hyperloop doing?
Ooh~ too soon? 😘
