I’d love to know the returns any of these companies are getting on advertising there… it was already pretty bleak before the takeover.

Every company is trying for the most unqualified workforce these days… but at least most of them don’t involve flight.
His proposal with buying Twitter was to “fix the bots” but he probably actually just meant control the tone of them
I’d be more willing to pay Logitech for a subscription to never have to touch their software again.
Trying to make a flagship product and keep it pumped up through subscription sounds a lot like live service games.
And those all fucking suck.
I thought Elon would just tell everyone to drill in some hood pins.
But I guess trying to do it through software(…?) is even cheaper.
Every time I click a Reddit link now it’s just “download the app to verify your age” regardless of what it is
I still don’t understand how the buzzword of AI 10x’d all these valuations, when it’s always either: a) exactly what they’ve been doing before, now with a fancy new name b) deliberately shoehorning AI in, in ways with no practical benefit
That’s crazy they had above 50%, though I guess they were the only EV-only company in North America (I believe?).
I love the idea of useful and improved AI-automations, based on the fact every site currently has a “customer service robot” that have never once helped with a resolution at all.
IMO it can eliminate a huge amount of support queries and leave the important stuff to the actual agent if done right. …with the caveat of yeah fuck AI if it’s fully instead of agents.
I will say, I don’t know what they’ve done but it’s been fucking up my casual circumvention nicely. Now I just get forced into almost 10 minutes of ads every time, and the ad bars shows up underneath videos, the end cards at the wrong time…
I’ve found Google alternatives great for things that are… filtered (copyright etc), but honestly no matter what search engine I use, I swear none just give you the results for your query anymore. I’ve still been finding the Bing-based ones horrible quality for relevancy and defaulting to Google.
The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.
I didn’t read a single thing beyond the title but… yeah that checks out
I want no part to do with them after they got all the Google domains—they’re not a company I would have willingly supported before, so I’m not about to now that I’ve been forced into it.
Oh you thought that was for damage prevention? No it’s actually to make sure it gets wet. I heard the Cybertruck’s trunk department QC’d it.
I thought this meant on top of Premium and I was about to be pissed.
But honestly, Spotify is one of the only companies where I don’t feel like my experience has gotten noticeably worse over my time using it.
That’s the hilarious(ly depressing) thing about buying a digital movie, for example, to me.
If you rent it, you get it for a certain amount of time.
If you ‘buy’ it, you also rent it, just for an undisclosed amount of time that they may or may not retroactively take away from you at any point with no warning or compensation.
Clicking an image on Twitter and it actually being an external link was the last thing I ever did on that platform.
Mine changed back to 8MB from 25MB a few weeks ago and it really does cut the amount of stuff you can send without having to run them through compression or just host externally.
