Muskrat gunning to be the next CEO of EA or Unity? He’s on the right track
Honestly? This is actually a “smart” move… given the current husk that twitter is.
The Man Who Used An Emerald Mine To Finance His Hairplugs has made it pretty clear that the goal is to make twitter an Everything site and that people should trust them as an online bank. And the users have made it clear that you can have a frontpage that is nothing but animal abuse, misinformation, and musk posts (kind of redundant but…) and people will still stick around because a celebrity posted a meme.
So get people to pay “less than nothing” to get their payment info into the system to pre-seed future efforts and “offerings”. More or less the same with every instagram account becoming a threads account.
I don’t think this will make more money than the ad revenue back when twitter was a functional site (and that was already not enough) but… companies don’t want to pump ad money into a site that will post their brand next to a neo-nazi talking about how the latest school shooting was a false flag operation.
Whelp, Twitter had a good run.
Mastodon has been the superior service for awhile now.
I moved to Mastodon and love it. Seems like a lot of others have too.
new users?
Some stories say new, others say all.
My understanding is that it’s for new users, but my comment as a question was mostly expressing being baffled at X having new legitimate users in general.
