    Wish Twitter would just stop existing already. Why do people acknowledge the shitty owner of the site at all? Just keep this scum out the news. Easy.

      If Twitter stops existing it will just mean less competition in the social media sphere and help further expand Meta’s share in the market. That’s not a good thing.

        Counterpoint: Twitter failing and Elongated Cuck Musk having to maybe face consequences and figuring out how to actually pay some of the $44 billion he bought it for is a good thing.

        It would also force people stuck on Twitter onto another platform and possibly lead them to another platform other than Meta.

        Competition is good, but poorly run, shitty, unsustainable businesses failing despite the ultra wealthy mongoloids wishing otherwise is also good. It’s very good.

      Most people don’t have any fucks to give over who owns what. If its running and convenient to them, they’ll use it.

      Thing is that most news editors still have to eat and pay rent. They do not run on subsidy and basic income so that they can just do fuck all. Unless this changes, mainstream news will continue to carry content that drives clicks and engagements.
