Bending the knee
And lifting their a## up, so they are better accessible
It doesn’t work that way with advertising. They need to go where their customers go. Bots don’t buy.
This isn’t advertising, it’s tribute.
It’s sending a sacrificial pawn so the tyrant doesn’t think of their absence.
They don’t need to advertise anywhere.
They’re going to twitter for a reason.“X’s owner now has the ear of the president-elect, a man who has a long history of helping his friends, and punishing his enemies,” said Max Willens, senior analyst, at Emarketer
But Twitter has been bleeding users. And since the election there has been a very public and very large exodus, including a lot of bigger names with tons of followers. So this isn’t about “go where the viewers are.” This is “spend money to stay on the good side of someone who might be even more inordinately powerful with an incredibly powerful and vengeful sidekick.”
“X’s owner now has the ear of the president-elect, a man who has a long history of helping his friends, and punishing his enemies,” said Max Willens, senior analyst, at Emarketer. “Sending at least a trickle of ad spending toward X may be seen as good for business, albeit in an indirect way.”
There’s the article in a nutshell. Give Elmo money or face the wrath of the Diaper-in-Chief.
Terrorists win!
Nuh-uh! Americans can’t be terrorists cuz Americans kill the terrorist, like Malcolm X and Jamal Khashoggi… Wait, are we the bad guys?
Always have been.
…wait, but I wasn’t playing socom…
In reality this is just them playing along, if anyone were to do anything drastic to these companies they would have a very bad time.
IBM helping out the Nazis is pretty par for the course
Still, “under $2,000” for a corporation of that size is a surprisingly low amount, compared to the others. Not even worth the negative publicity. Odd choice.
Ah, a history joke! Don’t forget Coke(Fanta)! Also, the history of Volkswagon is pretty interesting.
The surprising part is, despite everything Henry Ford believed, I don’t remember ever hearing Ford being on that list.
We have Teslawagan and Xoebbels now as well
I get the first one…no idea what the second references. It sounds like if something from transformers were crossed with the matrix, and handled by santa claus.
Which if that existed sounds kind of terrifying.
Goebbels plus X/Twitter. Goebbels was Hitler’s propagandist
When Hitler needed to track the unwanted in his concentration camps, IBM was there.
Today, Trump has selected IBM due to our experience in this field of Fascism.
FYI: while this is not true, I’m sure most Americans will believe it.
When have Comcast, Disney, or IBM ever have been on the wrong side of history? /s
IBM itching to get involved with another genocide. They can track all the undesirables digitally much easier now!
With DB2? Ha! Don’t make me laugh.
Oligarchs get cozy with oligarchs, what a shocker.
It’s time to drop Disney+.
Should have 5 years ago. Mostly cause fuck disney, but I get why you had it.
We’ve dropped it October 2023. Fuck them Zionist shits.
We just did. Only reason it took this long is because it auto-renewed this time last year for a year slightly ahead of when we thought it was gonna do that. Oops.
We finally dropped them after this bullshit. Also Loki S2 was bad.
I almost can’t blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.
A majority of American citizens who voted…that’s an important distinction. Roughly 29% of voting age american citizens and 22% of all american citizens - a sizeable minority but a minority nonetheless - voted for fascism and racism.
Well the ones who didn’t vote obviously weren’t too bothered by fascism and racism either, apparently
Yeah, fair point. Or saw that both sides probably lead to the same end eventually.
Or saw that both sides probably lead to the same end eventually.
Get out of here with that false equivalency bullshit. Trump’s cabinet picks so far are a Russian propaganda parroter for head of CIA, an anti-vax and raw milk advocate for Health and Human Services, a white supremacist tattooed person for Defense secretary and a suspected pedophile that is having their ethics hearing results blocked for Attorney General.
Do you even think for a hot second that Harris would have make such unqualified and toxic choices for her cabinet?
The “almost” in this statement is absolutely crucial. Nicely done.
And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It’s the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It’s always about money.
Horrible timing. Millions are leaving and going to BlueSky.
ads are not allowed on Bluesky. that is the reason.
Death to Comcast, Disney, and IBM.
I mean, that’s been an accurate statement for decades.
I dropped Xitter as soon as it became apparent that Elon was going to buy it and started pirating Disney (and everyone else) shortly after. Couldn’t tell you the last time I bought anything IBM but I’ll have to be more careful about it. I’m switching to a local fiber provider so I’m leaving comcast in a couple of weeks.
Is it bad that for a brief moment when you said you were switching to a local fiber provider, I thought you were talking about making sure you tdke healthy poops?
Haha. I’m working on that too. Finally starting to lose fat.
Local fiber is the 100 mile diet of colon health.
Did anyone read the article? Besides the top 2, these amounts are paltry:
Data by MediaRadar showed that Comcast, which spent less than $1.5 million on X this year, was followed by Warner Bros. Discovery at $1.1 million, whose ads are supporting theatrical releases of movies, and Disney at under $550,000. Lionsgate spent less than $230,000, while IBM allocated under $2,000.
That’s embarrassing.
This is beautiful! It’s like a textbook example for everyone paying attention to draw crisp conclusions for how the system works.
if people haven’t caught that half the shit we read in the headlines is literally means nothing, just slop at this point, i don’t know man… just take me to the fucking farm already, put me out of my misery
Takes sunzu2 to the farm, and hooks them up to the milking machine
…what? I can’t kill you for meat. Nobody eats human meat. But I can milk ya!
in the future, it will be a privilege to die
i am not joking either.
Going after the coveted racist bot market.
They don’t care where the money comes from, and at this point they know there’s no cost to their reputation for doing shit like this either.
People aren’t moving away from it. Of course they come back
