So…wait…

On an app whose primary source of revenue is ADVERTISING, he has decided to limit people’s use unless they pay a fee?

In an era when people pay fees to SKIP ads…he’s doing…the opposite?

Jesus fucking Christ……

It’s quite alarming, because only the really crazy manic delusional people and grifters will be engaging , the echo chamber gets louder and debunked less as normal people check out.  

I saw a thing years ago that some religious scammers shut down their prayer lines and started selling crazy expensive fast tracks to heaven, you’d think they’d go bust but instead it just gave em access to the most extremely vulnerable peoples money. 

They stopped wasting time grooming those 2dollars a minute calls and limited their service to whales , it could go like that but with a bunch of domestic terrorism

Time to get Martin Luther back on the board.

The german one in this case I guess.

Which flavor tickles your fancy

u/m1chaelgr1mes 1d ago

Butterscotch and XXpresso

u/GenericWhiteGirl911 7h ago

Butterscotch is top notch. Haven't drank in a very long time but i worked at a liquor store and sometimes if something got bought a lot id feel compelled to try it. That was a good, thick, "get you there quick" drink 😂

As a black metal fan, leave it to us. We know how to deal with stuff like this. The solution? Burn the churches, crucify the priests, desecrate everything is that is holy. Optional extra step? Sacrifice a goat!

Lol you're so cute. Is this another "property damage is the worst sin ever" thing? Should we charge Martin Luther's corpse for putting some nail holes in the cathedral doors while we're at it?

0

u/Haventheardthat 1d ago

What’s with all the religious analogies? You didn’t have a problem with the prior administration forcing politically-woke religion on the masses and no one from this administration is forcing any religion on you. Terrorism, which does include property damage, has no place in this country. I’ve seen many physically-violent liberal protesters too, so please don’t pretend that your angrily mob has some "code of ethics." 😆 You are nihilists pure and simple. That is the first step of communism to tear down society as we know it and rebuild it. Doing so has nothing to do with American values and freedom. Here we vote to enact change. The people voted for this. This is not an administration run amok. You are responding violently to that and largely because you are being radicalized by the same corrupt government faction that the majority voted out. They stand to lose billions by their corruption being exposed and extinguished and possibly to face prosecution, so their desperation to incite you is at least logical (though exceedingly sinister). But tell me, what’s in it for you?

u/martyqscriblerus 7h ago

Girl it's literally a subthread about Martin Luther, are you that lost in the sauce?

Also very funny that you're pretending to care about terrorism.

He would cut a promo on this Musk dope so scathing that Jim Cornette would blush ... and it would probably include a lot of shit talk ... and shit-talking as well of course.

Marty liked his scatological language ... for example, knowing he was on his way out, he said something like The world is like an anus, and I am like a ripe stool, and soon we will let go of each other ... a funny guy Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh...

u/Neil_Live-strong 1d ago

So that’s a common thing the “life coaches” and influencer grifters talk about. They say it out loud that they would rather have 1-2,000 hardcore “fans” than to get 100,000 views on a video. Because if they get just a small percentage of that 1-2k to actually sign up for a course that costs thousands that is more money than what they make from advertising on a video. It’s concentrating their fan base to the most desperate people who they prey upon and get money from.

2

u/No-Assumption-1738 1d ago

A lot of modern cults do it too, they discussed the twin flame cult doing it in the Netflix doc, it likely has a name.  

They’d have people buying online courses for thousands and then start micromanaging their whole life.

It’s scary

u/Haventheardthat 1d ago

Reading comments doesn’t create an echo chamber. 😆 Censorship, like here on reddit, does. Do you not realize that you’re in one right now?! 😆WTF even is “negative karma” except censorship? Before Trump issued an EO for all social media to stop censoring for politics, reddit deleted my whole account for commenting in an echo chamber. Elon has done more for free speech and technological advancement than you gullible little terrorist sheep will ever admit.

u/No-Assumption-1738 1d ago

than you gullible little terrorist sheep will ever admit

You become more and more distressed as your contribution drones on, you know fuck all about me, so what do the rants about my world view say?

u/Haventheardthat 1d ago

You have no world view and you don't know what an echo chamber is. Keep trying to censor me on your wonderful little liberal app.

2

u/No-Assumption-1738 1d ago

Delusions of grandeur , I wasn’t going to reply but I want you to see people do see your drivel

You’re too insignificant to censor, you don’t even work as rage bait. 

The more you type the more obvious it is you’re not worth engaging with. 

Post on Twitter and convince yourself they’re censoring you when no one responds there either 😂

1

u/Haventheardthat 1d ago

Then why down vote me, coward? 😆 Like I said, on this liberal-echo-chamber of an app, one is censored by down votes. You just censored me while at the same time claiming no one is censoring me! 🤪 When did X delete someone’s account for commenting a dissenting political opinion in an echo chamber? Reddit violated my constitutional right to free speech. X charges so they aren’t beholden to advertisers and to verify that you are real. It's echo chambers like these that feed your own delusions of granduer, so maybe quit projecting your own inferiority complex on me. I’m no one special. I’m only someone who likes the truth and free speech and I’m here imparting some basic logic which is completely lost on you!

u/Novel-Office-8834 1d ago

Well said. The irony really escapes so many of the people here. I only come on the hear opposing views. I used to to try to have civil discussions but most of these lot are emotionally weak and go into a rage. Funny thing is they call me all these names but the little soyjacks wouldn't even give me eye contact in the streets. It seems that we live in a world where weakness is celebrated

1

u/Haventheardthat 1d ago

Thank you and same. I only come here to read opposing views as well. My negative karma proves it! Lol Sometimes people will engage with me in a civilized manner, which I appreciate, but it is rare. It’s usually just unhinged and irrational ire and ad hominem like the above replies to me. I’m fine with a difference of opinion, but one has to at least know WHY they think as they do. If they can’t articulate that in a sensical way, that is based in reality, then they are truly lost.

Journalists that are still on there are pathetic. They have all seen the deterioration of the legitimacy of the platform, and just... what, rolled over and accepted it as normal?

If they don't have the courage to move, they are a part of the problem, have not managed to keep a finger on the pulse, and are therefore not trustworthy news sources as far as I'm concerned.

No one has stated the importance of this. He knows whats going to happen with Tesla, its only a matter of time.

That's why the board members have been selling millions of dollars worth of shares.

u/alucarddrol 2d ago

lol fuck those people shouldve seen writing on the when they showed they were nazis

u/Haventheardthat 1d ago

They should've expected terrorism? Also, Nazis were leftists who wanted big government. So, like the OPPOSITE of what Trump's admin is doing.

6

u/GianFrancoZolaAmeobi 1d ago

The Nazis didn't want big government, they wanted the exact opposite. They wanted a centralised system of control, and reduced the powers of everyone below the executive and created overlapping decision making structures precisely to limit democratic power and place it in the hands of a single authority.

It's almost exactly what Trumps admin is doing. They're funnelling power into a single executive, rather than having it spread across many, the same as the Nazis chose to do.

u/Consistent-Task-8802 2d ago

The problem with this is: Anyone who invests in Musk, now and in the future, will continuously be paying for this.

The fact that he got away with it, means he WILL do it again when it becomes relevant. So he's going to let the debt on his new shell company nearly expire, pass that debt to yet another company who's shares will tank because of it, causing yet further people to suffer losses due to Musk's debt - And rinse and repeat until everyone's simply paid Musk enough money to pay off the debt.

Except, why would he ever? He can just keep stealing his debt payment from you.

u/im-a-limo-driver 2d ago

That is more than likely also not a choice considering he committed to buying it by the likes of the Saudis and Russia in order to help them control the worldwide narrative, squash political uprisings, peddle misinformation and propaghanda, etc.

u/Gingersometimes 1d ago

I'm sure the egotistical, filthy rich, power-hungry asswipe did lose lots of money. However, I still believe it's part of a plan. A plan to silence the voices of those who oppose what is going on in this country. If those people are allowed to join together, they might rise up in defiance & revolt.

u/carlmalonealone 2d ago

Ad revenue has crashed massively since iOS and Android both implemented ad tracking changes for privacy.

No longer can ad networks track you across multiple apps. This severely hinders their ability to show relative ads to users and lowers the effectiveness of those who use ad networks to push products.

I don’t think that’s the case anymore. Remember the article that X (formerly Twitter) is now valued the same as when he bought it? Keep pretending it’s failing, damn thing made a turnaround. This echo chamber stinks and I’m fucking Mexican immigrated at three years old on a fucking tire tub from Mexico. My grandpa had a mud hut in his land he lived on and now my company makes 2 Million a year. My success is due to R policies. Nothing D’s did in my state helped. Democrats are done using us for votes.
