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 feel like with social media being such an integral part of sociaty these days, people should watch perfect blue and paranoia agent.

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

Tweet from verified user Alejandra Caraballo that reads: "A single tweet from a verified impersonation account caused Eli Lilly to lose $16 billion in market cap. Tweets and news cycles can move markets. While I don't think anyone will shed a tear for Eli Lilly, this demonstrates how important social media safety is to companies."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
