The elephant in the room: Elon Musk
He doesn’t seem to understand that companies don’t want to advertise on platforms filled with hate speech, especially when those platforms don’t seem like they want to moderate that hate speech. Plus, the most influential voices on Twitter will follow the money. Twitter is what it is because of content creators, not the other way around. Elon seems to think that the brand itself is the draw, but if everyone worth following goes somewhere else, the masses will follow. Elon, being the self-centered moron that he is, doesn’t understand that no one is so attached to Twitter that they won’t jump ship the second it’s more convenient to use a different app. Many of us have already deleted our accounts and I’m sure more will follow with each Elon tweet. Edit: It’s time we start talking about Elon Musk and stop ignoring him.
> companies don’t want to advertise on platforms filled with hate speech that’s true but companies don’t intrinsically care. if hate speech made money they’d have ads plastered. just want to clarify that advertisers aren’t good and elon bad. you didn’t imply that but i’m putting it out there anyway. advertising and companies just follows mass culture trend. it used to be ok (welcomed) to be racist, misogynistic, whatever. if the mainstream culture suddenly did enjoy hate speech twitter would do well to foment it. maybe in other countries it could work better. korea for example is pretty racist although i guess it’s getting better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_South_Korea that is actually interesting in that instead of english as lingua franca if racist or culturally medieval countries use twitter primarily in their own language then their particular flavor of culture (gradation of hate, say) would mostly be self contained and do what they will. like black twitter on steroids if i understand black twitter properly that is. we are all so “USA is the world “ here a few jobs ago i learned that in consumer business, to seriously take off with localization you have to have boots on the ground. just translating the web site and menus doesn’t cut it. that’s what i’m talking about with korean twitter, catalan twitter, fee fi fo fum twitter but yeah for USA twitter he certainly seems to be screwing the pooch
agree. thanks for giving it a serious read

This advertiser thing is so made up, youtube literally shows almost porn ads
Porn ads don't care where they advertise and their brand perception? Isn't it obvious? What do you smoke bro?
Normal ads are there along with soft porn ads and it's the same site
Nice propaganda you got there
"hate speech" is defined how? left seems to think all opposing views are hate speech, what is your definition?
Not respecting pronouns, supporting neo nazis like de Santis or drumpf, spreading false information when it has already been fact checked by Snopes, booster deniers.
Calling random people pedophile. "stand back and stand by". If republicans lose due to voter fraud the arms go up. Mexicans are criminals and rapists. Calling people communist groomer.
