GreenFish Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 13 minutes ago, BloodGreen said: It amazes me that people run to Twitter to get reactions to news from faceless people with whom they have no trusting relationships with. The reactions that have value are the people in your life that have earned your trust and respect, not some bot or person that just wants to see the world burn. At least here at JN we are (mostly) likeminded and have a specific purpose and common cause. Twitter will never unite the masses and only serve to create further divide. It’s a swamp! I agree. Bots are a huge issue (by far the biggest issue in my opinion). Bot Sentinel has helped but it’s not enough. Good thing jets fans have JN. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted November 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2022 Do people realize that the richest man on the planet can lose $45 billion dollars and STILL be the richest man on the planet? Do people realize that Elon Musk is having the time of his life owning the fourth most visited site on the planet? This is a pet project that may or may not turn a profit, but based on how much attention he is getting, he is winning this either way. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Elon probably didn't have $45 billion dollars liquid, so if Twitter fails, how much of that purchase price was collateralized with Tesla stock? Curious the ripple affect this could all have. The reality is that today, there isn't a viable alternative to Twitter. But in a year or two? Quite possibly there will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter, Facebook, JetNation, et al... the guys who put up the capital and take the risks make the rules. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think the reason he bought it was because he recognized the dangers to humanity with the direction Twitter was going, which you referred to in an earlier post. If Covid didnt prove that to people, I don't know what will. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaconJet Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 For all the people worried about freedom of speech, Musk just announced the following and that Kathie Griffin, Jordan Peterson and Babylon Bee have been reinstated, and decision on Trump is pending. Granted, trying to define negative/hate tweets is in part what caused this whole thing. Quote New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet. This is pretty fascinating to follow. They'll be using this as a case study in business classes before long, for better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
