This is preposterous. And honestly this is what I struggle with. I want to be like, “all in” on tech and rah rah let’s build new institutions together network states let’s gooo I want to be a part and then I see this stuff and I’m like …. Ugh I can’t 😭 I could write an essay as to all the reasons why. I used to work at a media agency. Twitter never was a must buy even in the Jack days. And that’s the tip of the iceberg. The declining product quality, the content moderation deficit (I’m sorry but no one wants an ad next to a beheading or the n word), adjacency to low quality ad inventory, and the fact that Elon told Bob Iger GO FUCK YOURSELF all play a role here. I encourage you if you are a small business owner to try and spend money with Twitter for ads and see how it goes, report back. Heres one experience https://x.com/dennishegstad/status/1786395935800525004 Elon is not trying in the slightest to make the offering good, is openly antagonizing buyers, and then plays victim?

They like free markets -- until they don't. Just like democracy.

lol "prosecutable crime" ayeah, large companies/advertisers boycotting (disney, etc) with budgets to cover distribution elsewhere opened up huge (missed) opportunity for X to lean into optimizing ads for SMBs that could grow into larger companies. sad.

My wife works in paid ads. You should hear her complain for what a complete pile of garbage twitter ads are. Not eve the basic tracking works. Those people above have not run a single campaign in their life like people like dennis (the OP) and my wife.

1. No need to give Elon any more money to prove a point that's already been proven. 2. You can be 'all in' and not have to follow these people's lead. You bring your vision into it and if people like it they'll gravitate towards it. There's also no need to be as loud as these guys to be successful. Plenty of low key people that do well without having to debase themselves.

Google and X have ensured that I will never click an ad in my entire life, no matter how much I want to. I’m sorry but serving up literal malware and phishing links imitating real products with no oversight is unacceptable.

I wonder if Elon doesn't care and the objective was something else or if he's just so reactionary that that's how he is, but yeah i guess telling Bob Iger to F off was needless even if the goal was something else.

I feel the same way. I feel like pursuing an equitable future isn’t the mindset of the majority in tech anymore, if it ever was. It just seems to be about making as much money as possible and everything else be damned. Regarding X, people aren’t obligated to buy your product. If they don’t want it, they don’t buy it. People didn’t “boycott” New Coke. They hated it, didn’t buy it, Coke changed back to how it used to be, and people started buying it again. 🧠

It’s not up to the advertisers to make money for the platform. Capitalism lets them put (or not) money where they want. If X is the best place to put ads up for profit, that’s what they will do.
