    Maybe that was the plan all along.

    1. Turn Twitter into a turd soup

    2. Educated people who don’t click ads stop using Twitter

    3. Save unproductive bandwidth

    By quitting twitter I’ve gone along with Musk’s plan. Damn it.

      Musk isnt that smart.

      Besides, a lot of those big advertisers don’t mind advertising to racists/fashies/terrorists, as long as they have the plausible deniability of “Oh, we advertise on twitter, it has a vibrant user base, lets not let the unsavory types ruin it for everyone”.

      A deniability that goes away now that its been bought by a fashy white supremacist who is actively purging the site of anyone critical to fashy white supremacism.

      No one but scummy companies like MyPillow and some asshole selling “gold” trump coins (totally legal tender!*) want to advertise to the creme of that crop.
