guys we’re not being cringe to keep out the twitter users. we’re being cringe to keep out the ALGORITHMS, the CAPITALISTS, the INFLUENCERS. twitter users are welcome as long as they agree this site is UNMARKETABLE
anyone can join the skeleton war but first you must shed the mortal flesh of marketability
i’ll stop reporting on the twitter dumpster fire when it stops delivering absolutely fucking BONKERS news, but:
can we talk about how a fake-but-verified twitter account for pharma giant eli lilly started a domino effect that tanked their fucking stock by billions of dollars
the stock for their competitors novo nordisk and sanofi is tanking too
again, to reiterate: billions of dollars
elon you stupid, silly cunt
omg
not just ‘billions of dollars’
$16 billion specifically
ALT
imagine getting fucking nuked like this by ONE TWEET
I can’t remember which company it was, but there was a guy who pretended to be a representative and went on the news with a fake apology for the horrible things the company did, which then raised awareness and tanked their stock prices. Anyway, this is that but multiple times over 48 hours.
i am fully invested in the dumpster fire going on with twitter. like holy shit this is fantastic
What if we logged into tumblr one day, and some of us just had blue verification checkmarks next to our urls but nobody knew why and staff was completely silent on the subject
