Calling it "facts are facts" without any source does not make it true.

  You’re right. I had something to say but didn’t take the time to support it. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/02/10/tech/twitter-top-advertiser-decline/index.html https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/02/10/tech/twitter-top-advertis...

    TBH, that is the definition of media narrative. I don't see any dollar value in the report for twitter losses. It could be that the market is flexible and those advertisers were replaced by someone else(not saying that happened, but the article is hardly proof of twitter's losses)

      I think it becomes troublesome when the data is confidential and the company is private. Do we just not talk about anything when we don’t have hard data? On the other hand, they are reporting a study that they may have even paid for and don’t actually share the details of the study. So I certainly see your point. On the other other hand, I think the “soft” signals like Elon asking people to hit the like button for ads, or the various reports of orgs pulling their ad campaigns suggests that there is general distress. Which is what’s on my mind when I think it’s more than a “narrative,” which I tend to interpret as hand wavy “media bias” used to explain away anything that doesn’t support one’s own narrative.
