They always miss the actual point. We don't need healthy competition in ad tech. We need to ban ad tech.

@dansup
You wrote they were banned for other reasons. I was just pointing out the other reasons weren’t even necessary. I was mocking them not you.

@dansup
Well if Christian nationalists aren’t being blocked you should correct that.

@selzero
It's awesome even without a graphic... They've lost $800 BILLION in value.

Also love that if you take away all of the company's false promises about full self driving and the degree to which their stock valuation is dependent on Elon's hype, analysts place the company's real value at about 1/10 of where they are.

@WarnerCrocker
This asshole has the nerve to text me this shit now…

@dansup
Digg was one of the first enshittified sites.

“It is also a particularly American disease to confuse wealth with intelligence and corporations with those who own them. In most of the world the conversation we are having would seem utterly preposterous, as again there is no evidence of Musk having *intellectual* achievements.”

I voted for Biden 2.0 (Harris) as well. But we're long past the point where we should be scolding voters for the Democratic Party's failures and betrayals. We need drastic measures to break up that corrupt gerontocracy or replace it with a real people's movement, and there's no place in that movement for DNC apologists, certainly not in any leadership roles.

@tinydoctor @dalias @aral @n8chz
Perhaps you should redirect your hatred to the party that did everything in their power to alienate those voters.

@dansup
Fuck VCs. All of them and their fascist CEOs.

@Gargron
They're all cowards and traitors.

@dansup
I’m not sure “inventing an app to help incels stalk college girls” truly qualifies as “believing in its potential to make the internet better”.

I happily pay for content when it’s offered at a fair price and accessible in a convenient and distraction-free format.

Apple TV+ is already dancing on the edge of that value proposition (I get it for free with TMobile) with their UX that is 90% ads for its own content. The slightest tweak of their enshittification dial and I will drop them as I’ve done all the others. 🏴☠️

@kurtseifried @dalias @briankrebs
I’ve developed a zero tolerance for ads. I deleted Facebook ages ago and today I refuse to use Betflix and Prime Video—even for free—because of their forced ads.

If there were any content in those sights I considered “must watch” (there aren’t), I’d just pirate the fuck out of them.

@inquiline @pluralistic
The whole “inadvertently” part seems to clash with the “private conversations were sold to third parties for targeted ads.”

@Eternal_Light @rasterweb
Bullshit.

@eff @davidgreene @AlJazeera
He wants to save TikTok the way Elon saved Twitter.

@danielpunkass
Not nearly as bad as Bezos, but still cringeworthy.
