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.

I do not want to agree at all with an assertion like this but it’s hard for me to argue against because I don’t see any evidence that even one single finger was lifted to improve ads or ad experience in any way

was looking at the tweet you shared -- pretty clear that the issue goes beyond politics -- if you're not getting results, why would pay for ads there? seems like that's going to be the end of any legal action they try to take

Exactly. They are trying to spin this as retaliation and politics and I don’t know how more clearly I can say it is NOT. It’s just junky!!!
