Freepers, perhaps you should consider subscribing.
I'm on the Premium+ plan if we all did that it would help.
I agree, they shouldn’t advertise on X where they get billions of views, they should advertise on CNN where they get 700,000 views. Dumb SOBs
The all-woke are out to destroy Elon and anything anti-woke.
I canceled my Walmart+ membership today. I will not support the companies that boycott X.
I’d like a list off all the quit X so I know who to boycott.
When they need something he has they’ll come running back. Like global internet access, or space launches.
Maybe I am just out of touch, but I never heard of these people.
Is this just taking comments from some unknowns that push the narrative, and pretending it is a wide-held belief?
Doubt “X” is dependent on the hypocritical advertisers. Probably turn out to be the other way around.
Disney will be back in a month or so after the hostile takeover concludes and Bob Iger gets kicked to the curb.
They’ll return when the deep-state political campaign against X and Musk is over and the coast is clear for them.
If Musk isn’t worried about this why should anyone else be?
This will get fun as the abandoning advertisers will now find their other ads amplified on Twitter where they won’t be able to respond. Imagine thousands of individuals screenshotting Apple of IBM or Microsoft ads flanked by anti-Semitic, sexist or racist posts. Perhaps even thousands of individuals will create phantom accounts as eneMediaMatters did in order to facilitate those screenshots.
They’ll come crawling back.
This will be an interesting experiment. Will the companies that stop advertising on X see any drop in sales? If not, will they cut back their advertising on social media generally?
I’ve never consciously bought anything because of advertising on social media. I’ve clicked through sometimes to look, but I’ve never bought. Purchases are always done by searching once I’ve decided to buy something.
Maybe most people impulse buy stuff because of social media ads, but I’m skeptical as to how well it works.
I’m not sure of Musk’s plan by telling advertisers to f-off, but if Musk does want Twitter to continue, he certainly has the wealth to keep it alive for decades (providing, of course, that he cashes out of Tesla).
Everything in this post is a demonstration of Alinsky Rule No. 1:
“Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
It’s designed to make people believe that millions of advertisers are fleeing Twitter, and it’s complete BS. (See Alinsky Rule # 1)
IOW, this is deep state propaganda. Dismiss it because millions of advertisers are NOT leaving Twitter.
Deal with it, you fascist corporate suck-ups.
Musk knows this.
Advertising dollars are like water. They will fill every crack and crevice.
Musk just improved his brand (and that of X) big time by taking a stand against those companies trying to intimidate him.
And Disney...who dat?
Well the answer is to boycott the scumbag companies.
Elon is a master at endeavors that can obtain government funds.
Outside of such he’s not able to do much.
The temporary or permanent pause in advertising on X shows the adaptability of businesses in responding to evolving circumstances. In a free market, companies must navigate and adapt to the changing landscape, and the decisions made by advertisers reflect their assessments of risks.
In the end, the market will determine the outcome.
I do not post on X. I do not have an account. I have never seen an advertisment on X. I go there following links about something that interests me. Usually something on FR. Furthermore I could care less who advertises there. What is the big deal? Why boycott someone that doesnt advertise on X. I guess some people just dont have better things to do than to be upset over a business decision.
