Maybe they’ll buy ads. See Elon. Threads launching isn’t as bad as you think it will be.
According to Elon, their ad revenue should be on par with YouTube.
What a glowing review!
Free speech Elon does...
“Twitter has two important advantages over other social media platforms,” Haqqani said in an English post on Twitter. “The first privilege is the freedom of speech. The second privilege is the public nature & credibility of Twitter. Twitter doesn't have an intolerant policy like Meta. Other platforms cannot replace it.”
I.. am out of words...
Pure comedy. Twitter vs threads has been extremely entertaining
I'm not their fan but I hope facebook can leverage this on their marketing.
"I can't believe Meta would do this to us! Is it wrong for us to be a patriarchial homophobic anti-Christian, anti-Jewish group online without having someone tell us we can't be our true authentic selves? How dare Mark Zuckerberg do this to us! At least Elon will let us be who we are. Now if you excuse me, I have to to let the leopards at the Kabul Zoo eat my face." --Taliban Senior Leader
😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
What a fucking glowing recommendation and endorsement from an absolutely reputable organization. /s
On the other hand, I feel for those engineers at Twitter. Yeah they are choosing to stay, but one, for those of them who really believe in Twitter as a tool, it's not so easy to leave it behind all because corporate leadership is acting dumb, and two, even though Twitter still looks great on a resume, switching jobs is not as easy as stopping to go work for one place on one day and starting in another the next.
I have a feeling almost everyone left is on an H-1B visa so if they quit, they'll be deported
Am i wrong to think this sounds similar to slavery?
That is highly possible. I have a few coworkers on my job (software QA) that are on an H-1B. They have to be very calculated about both their professional and even personal life decisions because it all hinges on having/keeping a job.
"The Taliban prefers Twitter over Threads. So I've got that going for me, which is nice." - Elon Musk, probably.
