Bending the knee
And lifting their a## up, so they are better accessible
It doesn’t work that way with advertising. They need to go where their customers go. Bots don’t buy.
This isn’t advertising, it’s tribute.
It’s sending a sacrificial pawn so the tyrant doesn’t think of their absence.
with people leaving xhitter en masse, this is really more like bending the knee and licking assholes.
IBM helping out the Nazis is pretty par for the course
When Hitler needed to track the unwanted in his concentration camps, IBM was there.
Today, Trump has selected IBM due to our experience in this field of Fascism.
FYI: while this is not true, I’m sure most Americans will believe it.
Ah, a history joke! Don’t forget Coke(Fanta)! Also, the history of Volkswagon is pretty interesting.
The surprising part is, despite everything Henry Ford believed, I don’t remember ever hearing Ford being on that list.
We have Teslawagan and Xoebbels now as well
I get the first one…no idea what the second references. It sounds like if something from transformers were crossed with the matrix, and handled by santa claus.
Which if that existed sounds kind of terrifying.
Goebbels plus X/Twitter. Goebbels was Hitler’s propagandist
There’s also Hugo Boss.
Good old database arms
Kinda lends itself to the theory that they are part of the Problem
Oligarchs get cozy with oligarchs, what a shocker.
That’s extraordinarily on brand of them
I almost can’t blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.
Horrible timing. Millions are leaving and going to BlueSky.
Good thing everyone is leaving
Doesn’t matter. They’re not doing it to get people to see their ads, they’re doing it to bribe Elon since he has actual political power now. Kind of like how oil companies buy ads on news media, even though you don’t need to be persuaded to buy oil - it’s to buy favorable coverage.
It’s just going to be all brands, nazis and/or bots soon.
Death to Comcast, Disney, and IBM.
I mean, that’s been an accurate statement for decades.
True. But back then they made money on advertising. Now we’re funding them directly.
Do you part - cancel the service.
And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It’s the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It’s always about money.
Did anyone read the article? Besides the top 2, these amounts are paltry:
Data by MediaRadar showed that Comcast, which spent less than $1.5 million on X this year, was followed by Warner Bros. Discovery at $1.1 million, whose ads are supporting theatrical releases of movies, and Disney at under $550,000. Lionsgate spent less than $230,000, while IBM allocated under $2,000.
That’s embarrassing.
This is beautiful! It’s like a textbook example for everyone paying attention to draw crisp conclusions for how the system works.
Going after the coveted racist bot market.
They don’t care where the money comes from, and at this point they know there’s no cost to their reputation for doing shit like this either.
He’ll get advertisers just as actual people leave.
People aren’t moving away from it. Of course they come back
