    I don’t understand why journalists continue to call users with the blue check-mark “verified”. There’s no verification of anything but a credit card. Verification is a relic of the past and they need to shift their language to match reality. Maybe call them “paid” users.

      there’s a tweet post containing neo-nazi video, and the ads for big company appears alongside that tweet

    Someone should take screenshots and put them on the internet. It will scare Microsoft and others into not running ads on Twitter.

      Exactly. I don’t get the mentality of not running ads in a YouTube video where someone said „fuck“ but being completely fine with running your ads on twitter.

      I mean just checking the feed these days is incredibly toxic. Seems like only people of a certain mindset kept sticking around.

      Do they want this?

      Apparently they have no issues with nazis, but the moment you mention a minor slur in a youtube video you will be demonetized into oblivion, and don’t even try showing some skin or they will call the FBI.

        They demonetize the slightest thing because that way they don’t need to pay anyone for the money they make…

    At this point, still using Twitter is like being on Reddit, I can’t say which one is worse.
