Quote from: rocket surgeon on November 18, 2024, 04:45:00 PMtop advertisers(Disney, comcast, IBM etc) who left X for some odd reason are now returning...weird eyn'a?

Most aren't returning. And observers quoted in articles about those companies you named are merely speculating that the companies might return. And then only to protect their financial interests from the far-too-powerful guy who told them to "go fook themselves" not long ago.

This from Financial Times:

Lou Paskalis, chief executive of marketing consultancy AJL Advisory and a former media executive at Bank of America, said some marketers were likely to reallocate spending back to X as "political leverage", such as if they were seeking government contracts. He added companies would seek to get in the "good graces of Elon" ...

Eh. Viper made an overtly political comment. Can't say he, or anyone else, wasn't warned.

In yet another Twitter failure, searching for someone's username no longer brings up any of their tweets. Only replies to their tweets.

Twitter's functionality gets worse by the day.

Elon tweaking the algorithm to boost his interactions was obvious from day 1 of him taking over.  It's also why they tweaked the block function because he had been blocked by so many folks.

The tweaking to promote a particular political party isn't a surprise either.  It's certainly not the only social site to do that and it happens on both ends of the spectrum.

It's the natural progression of sites like that.  From user friendly to something the complete opposite of that.  It's the users choice to stay or go.  If you stay and complain about what you're seeing, well, hard to have sympathy for you.  It's clear what you're getting.

Remember when Musk claimed that he wanted to solve Twitter's bot problem?

Nice! Very nice.
