And then right after he sues the people for not advertising
No you're not
Twitter broke barely even
You paid twice it's worth and then within 2 years got it to only 20% of its value, pushing away all power users and advertisers.
You're bleeding money like there is no tomorrow and you'll still be bankrupt or jailed soon enough. If not during Trump's presidency, then most certainly after it
The advertisers are coming back, I swear!
Please come back, But do go fuck yourselves!
Bullshit. No way does Twitter make anywhere near a profit, and that’s NOT taking into account the payments on 44Bn.
At this point if you're still working there knowingly building a powerful fascist gathering platform after so much time available to leave, taking dirty Nazi money as payment for your services...
I dunno man... should I feel bad for the staff, or are the remaining staff complicit enough at this point?
Or maybe take a paycheck and do substandard job introduce bugs etc.
Heck, I'll even do that for a company I like!
Feel bad for the poor bastards stuck there on visas. Feel less bad about anyone looking around that can't quit but can't find another job. Would you hire someone who's still working at Twitter? I probably wouldn't even pull that resume for an interview.
That's a point I had not considered. Twitter is resume poison, at this point.
Do they have employees on H1B? If so, that may be why they haven't jumped ship for less-Nazified pastures. Not excusing anyone, just striving to understand.
Let's not blame fellow workers for doing what they need to survive. Big tech companies are exploitive by nature, espcially H1B visas are basically indebted servitude at this point.
This is about class, not left vs right.
After Twitter already not being profitable. Add all the loss of marketing from businesses and users leaving, then the cost of all the bots and lawsuits.
How come it is "barely breaking even"? Who is paying them? Fascists?
Who is paying them?
Probably all the people paying $8/mo for a checkmark
He's laundering money through it most likely
All the blue checkmarks probably helps, and the premium crap too
If only they had competant management...
Aw geez, what a shame. As if Neo-Goebbels is going to shut his propaganda arm over something as trivial as money.
Stick that seig arm out and well break more,k?
