Yup. I blame Twitter too. They are too greedy. Just when their platform was receiving flak for not being profitable, trump comes on and they let him on because it was good business.
Now that he is out of power, revenue from his enabling dwindles fast and criticism increases, so the business decision is to ban him.
- sk5t 6y agoThis is a very naive take. Millions of Trumpers still want to engage with him on Twitter. The business equation hasn't changed.
- kumarvvr 6y agoMillions of trumpers engaging with him brings a lot less revenue than hundreds of millions of view of his one tweet. It's all about advertising revenue and profits.
- scrollaway 6y agoI don't think that's fair. Twitter was not in an enviable position from the get go. Trump had been on there for years before he ran for president, and banning the president IS a big deal no matter how you spin it. There is some grey area that was definitely crossed the last few years where banning him from twitter would have been the right thing to do. It was long before Jan 6th but i don't think it was so early in his term either. What's done is done, I'm just glad it's over now tbh.
