    Can the platform just die already so I can stop reading about a man-child’s shitty business decisions? Thanks, management.

      It did die, like back in November I think. We’re at the point where the zombie like corpse has fallen over and horsehair worms started emerging. 🤮

      Not to mention, so I can stop seeing pictures of him, pressing his fingertips together in front of his face like he’s some fucking pensive genius. I’m goddamn tired of it

          I like that one from the nineties when he had not gotten all those operations.

          But yeah let’s move on, there is science out there, lore, videogames, books and more!

        He’s just smelling and tasting his fingers, which he just had up his own ass.

        No offense but this is so goddamn stupid. We don’t live in a bubble and unfortunately their actions may have an impact as they ripple through the business and political world.

        Intentionally censoring news because “lol get wrecked Jeff Bezos” is hurting no one but yourself.

      Didn’t the mods create a megathread specifically for this reason?

      No. All these people are terminally attached to the platform and will rather stay on board until the ship sinks.

        All these people are terminally attached to the people they are connected to on the platform. Moving over is easy. Convincing your friends to move along with you is hard. As a creator, convincing your whole follower base to move along with you is nearly impossible.

        The vast majority of these users aren’t paying for subscription, and many advertisers have dropped it. Meanwhile it needs to pay additional debt and interest from the acquisition itself.

        It is on its death bed already. All it takes is for the owner to realize it’s not worth taking losses over it anymore.
