Big names like Apple, IBM, Walmart, and Disney pulled their ads from X, formerly Twitter, after Elon Musk backed antisemitic views on the platform.

    Elon can make money through ads because he has collected loads of user data and know your interests. I’d be happy to see him take a hit in this regard. Why not use decentralized social media? They don’t collect any data and there won’t be any targeted ads.

      due to the semi anonymous nature of Twitter its metrics are the worst CDN/ADN anyway, buying it was a stupid decision even if you were The Best and Trying To Do Good Things with the platform.
