X's scam originated revenue is probably a bigger percent, but 10% is too much... Shame on Meta. edit: wow, some people REALLY don't like getting told they are knowingly contributing negatively to society.

In Argentina it is said, half-jokingly, that 1 week of news cycle in Argentina is 10 years of news cycle in Switzerland. On a similar note, leave Argentina for 2 years and everything is different. Leave for 20, and everything is the same. I
