A victory for the free market

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Too bad MIC doesn't operate on free market.

Do we need a catchy “go Nazi get…____” catchphrase? It was such a g when the right wing did it! They do love a good catchphrase. Easier to remember.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

How about "Go Nazi get shot in the head"

Go fash; lose cash.

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 43 points 6 days ago

Bullshit. No way does Twitter make anywhere near a profit, and that’s NOT taking into account the payments on 44Bn.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 68 points 6 days ago

hm, someone told me it was so easy to cut wasteful spending.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 43 points 6 days ago (3 children)

After Twitter already not being profitable. Add all the loss of marketing from businesses and users leaving, then the cost of all the bots and lawsuits.

How come it is "barely breaking even"? Who is paying them? Fascists?

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

All the blue checkmarks probably helps, and the premium crap too

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

He's laundering money through it most likely

Aw geez, what a shame. As if Neo-Goebbels is going to shut his propaganda arm over something as trivial as money.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 9 points 5 days ago

"Barely breaking even" and yet he keeps getting richer.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days ago

No you're not

Twitter broke barely even

You paid twice it's worth and then within 2 years got it to only 20% of its value, pushing away all power users and advertisers.

You're bleeding money like there is no tomorrow and you'll still be bankrupt or jailed soon enough. If not during Trump's presidency, then most certainly after it

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

If only they had competant management...

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (5 children)

At this point if you're still working there knowingly building a powerful fascist gathering platform after so much time available to leave, taking dirty Nazi money as payment for your services...

I dunno man... should I feel bad for the staff, or are the remaining staff complicit enough at this point?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Feel bad for the poor bastards stuck there on visas. Feel less bad about anyone looking around that can't quit but can't find another job. Would you hire someone who's still working at Twitter? I probably wouldn't even pull that resume for an interview.

Do they have employees on H1B? If so, that may be why they haven't jumped ship for less-Nazified pastures. Not excusing anyone, just striving to understand.

With the site now serving as an outlet for right wing narratives and misinformation that benefits the administration, there will be an incentive to prop it up financially if need be. Banks have been trying unsuccessfully to offload their debt used to finance the acquisition, so it seems investors aren’t as confident in the site’s long term profitability even with its newfound role.

[–] Cool_Name@lemm.ee 17 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Wouldn't barely breaking even actually be exceptionally good in the history of twitter? I though it had been burning money from its conception.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

No, Twitter had started making a profit when he bought it. The last year they had a court case which made the year a loss, but the years before were profitable.

The advertisers are coming back, I swear!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Please come back, But do go fuck yourselves!

[–] youvegotmoxie@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Awww, is the world’s greediest man not making enough money?
