Yep, Reddit, Twitch, and YouTube all in one day. Surprised Twitter hasn’t joined them. Still a few hours left in the day though.

This is the real story. Everyone bashing the tech companies has it wrong.

The techs have been walking a fine line, leaving as much stuff out there as possible while still appeasing the advertisers. Now, in the last week, there's been a huge wave of advertisers saying they're going to boycott social media until they clean up "hate speech".

The advertisers have always been driving this bus, not the social media companies, and now they're on the warpath.

People who've wanted to regulate the techs are going to be wishing for the good old days because the advertisers are going to crush debate.
