YT got nuts with the ads. I had YT Music Premium. Then I let it lapse and it was literally an ad after every song. Instead of re-upping it made me annoyed and now I give my $10/month to Tidal for music. Happy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a political issue that doesn’t belong on a football fan site. No one brought up politics besides you 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciond Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The whining over $8 is epic.. Lets see who is a bot. The celebs etc who have had can pay it it is a business last I checked and revenue is important. Twitter employees were selling them for a lot of money on the side so I guess people will pay to feel important..not me 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choon328 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 This dude paid $44 Billion for Twitter while also borrowing $12 billion of it to do so meanwhile Twitter has lost money 2 of the last 3 years. He has to pay $100 million monthly in interest on his loan for a company who is not making money. Now add in the fact that he is losing $4 million in advertising revenue per day over the past 2 weeks after firing Twitters moderation board. No company wants to be associated with a social media company that allows bigotry and hatred to be tolerated. He will sell Twitter for 50% of what he paid for it within a year, mark my words. The Co-Founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, is also starting a new Twitter like company named "Bluesky, advertisers will bail on Twitter and move over there. Musk is a guy who buys companies, like Tesla, from other people and has engineers do the work. He's not a creator or an inventor, he's a financier. He has no idea how to run a company. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, kinda depends on what you use Twitter for I suppose. If I as a Doctor want to tweet something that I feel is say medically relevant or important re: COVID, vaccines or a sports injury on an athlete for example, being verified may lead some more credence to my tweet. But if your just perusing and posting political opinions or whatever, yeah...being 'verified' isn't all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan. He's notoriously petty, and spending 44 billion on twitter fueled in large part by spite just adds to that narrative. The way he's handling the transition, especially with employees is just bad. A huge amount of people strangely orbit him too because he tries to come across as the quirky and relatable billionaire by making bad jokes online and smoking weed. He's leading some great efforts in various fields, but the guy is no hero or extreme genius. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
