This is pure bullshit. "By one estimate". I could also claim: Twitter is now on track to become massively profitable, by one estimate. Can you dispute it? Is it not an absolute fact that by some estimate Twitter will be massively profitable? Depends on who's estimating doesn't it? This is why legacy media is not trust worthy. How can such obvious bullshit fly right over your head?

Musk says Twitter "has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May". That's an actual quote[1]. [1] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604626103326253056 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604626103326253056

  Yes and it seems he's very concerned about Twitter's profitability. It's probably why he tried to ban links to sites he saw as competitors. This is very different from the take in this and similar articles. Twitter might have a lot of problems, and it's probably made several mistakes. Musks's firing of half the employees and reinstating accounts banned for political reasons are not of them.

I agree with measuring. That is at least a good outcome of all of this. That it becomes more and more visible for normal users, that news have just become entertainment. And with having news in aggregated/dense form for everyone, one can see also the mechanism, how things get distributed and re-used in channels. For me a big eye opener was something, that happened a long time ago, when i was working for a company, that became news itself, and i was doing the exact work, that accidentally became news. What i was reading then was just made up fluff and had no overlap with my own experienced reality. And i think many have the same experience, that when they read articles, that one has expertise of, that it is mostly wrong and sloppy, while, when we read articles about other topics, i just tolerate it and hope and pray, that it is correctly reported. :-)

Please reflect on whether you're being unreasonable and too emotional on this response (i.e. you're not considering the evidence that is given and you're not giving evidence of your own). This is why you're getting downvoted. You can come up with a reason why we're downvoting you, but maybe it's because you need to reflect a bit more on what you're saying and be more open with different opinions/facts? The poster above you gave you a quote of an estimate. This can be challenged if you quote another estimate or you find some deep methodological flaws on the estimate. Your argument, as it stands, is nonsensical
