Gee, who would’ve thought. Maybe buying a company in a domain you know nothing about, firing 80% of the staff who do know how to run it, and antagonizing advertisers that are your main source of revenue isn’t great for business.

I mean you can antagonizing advertisers or users as much as you want as long as your service works. Elon's airplane tracker is on twitter despite elon sueing the guy [1]. Advertisers don't come back to twitter because it's just doesn't have the functionality they want. There are many other large social media platforms out there they can advertise on and when those platforms have better tracking and targeting those are the platforms they use. It's nothing personal; just business.

  > Elon's airplane tracker is on twitter despite elon sueing the guy [1]. When was the last time he posted the jet's location? Seems like it was in 2022.

    I don't use twitter much; it appears that the page is not sorted chronologically but there are tweets from 2024. https://x.com/ElonJetNextDay/status/1764502121901093059 https://x.com/ElonJetNextDay/status/1764502121901093059

      Does anyone know how an X profile page is sorted now? It isn't chronological, nor by likes or views.

  I use twitter and it seems to work but the big brands didn't like things like Musk tweeting 'exactly right' to some comment about 'the jews' pushing anti white racism and similar stuff. I'm not sure there are any large brands left see eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/1896e5u/what_major_advertisers_are_still_with_x/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/1896e5u/what_major... And I'm not sure the recent ploy of suing them for not advertising is going to work great.

  I keep seeing people say this because the site is still running, but here's some very clear examples: * Ron Desantis Campaign Kick-off Twitter Spaces - crashed. * Elon interviews DJT in Twitter Spaces - crashed. * No more moderator team, not as much effort against bots - advertisers fleeing because they don't want their brands associated with such content.
