Media Matters

[Irish#1]

If you're influenced by Twitter posts or any other so called media "influencer" you have some serious issues.

 

[ulukinatme]

So who wrote this garbage? "if you can argue that it was ever really successful." Has Twitter not been more popular than Facebook in the last 5-8 years at least? There may be more people on Facebook, I haven't seen the numbers, but there's a lot more content and engagement on Twitter I would think. Nobody goes on Facebook to see what a celebrity wrote there, Twitter has been the go to for consumption and discussion. Facebook is generally more utilized for family and friends, while Twitter is typically more far reaching. I know there's SnapChat/Instagram which are both also up there in popularity, but who would say Twitter hasn't been successful? Also, how has "deranged" Musk broken it? I see a lot of progressives since the buyout claim that Twitter was doomed, or it was dying, but it sure seems to run today the same as it ever has. If anything it runs better with the additions of Community Notes to combat misinformation.

Do tell.

Paying to use a site that you can’t use anymore

Ryan Broderick. Funny enough, its from his newsletter Garbage Day.

As a user for nearly ten years, my experience is that it is not being run today the same as it ever was. It hasn't been with bullet train speed, but the app is nowhere near as good as it was a few years ago even pre Musk. Post Musk it has generally been crap as far as I'm concerned, though I still use and mostly enjoy it for sports content.

How has it been crap? I've been using the app for just as long, I don't see any latency issues. Why isn't it as good as it was a few years ago? Is it because conservative voices aren't getting silenced as frequently?

I see where this is headed, so I'm just going to leave it at I have not enjoyed the app nearly as much for the purposes of following sports. The For You page is also complete dog shit and I ignore it like it's a troll. More outages, any dickhead Michigan fan gets a blue check mark because they're stupid enough to pay for it, and for someone who went out of my way to clear out news, politics, etc. it hasn't really done the trick.

I actually began using it as a method of outreach for work purposes. Eventually I used it for sports news and gossip only. It's probably just another thing I don't really need to be on as much if at all now.

That's just me.

It's okay. I don't care for the paid liberal propaganda accounts either, but they keep showing up in my feed because they get promoted. I'd block them, but they occasionally write some funny shit and I'd hate to miss it. These are the usual suspects.

Started and going?

 

[ulukinatme]

I haven't worked for Twitter or Facebook, but in my previous and current jobs in the software field I've always had to agree to a no compete clause in my hiring that lasts x months/years. Meta could be in some legal trouble if they're found to be leveraging said assets and/or trade secrets from people that were let go from Twitter.

 

[drayer54]

I've used Twitter for years. I did digital strategy for two campaign cycles for a PAC and was pretty good at advertising. Twitter has never been better. Facebook has never been worse, IMO. Threads is interesting. Instagram is niche.

California became the locus for tech in large part because they do not enforce non-compete clauses. It improves dynamism/reduces barrier to entry.

Insta seems hellbent on destroying itself trying to replicate Tik Tok. They removed the recent tab from all hashtag searches to try and force people off of posting regular posts and use reels. Completely killed all my interest in the platform. How are you ever supposed to build a following or find new creators if they're all completely buried under "top" posts?

Perhaps, but I'd be surprised if Twitter doesn't enforce a non-compete. There was an article posted just 8 days ago about the new CEO being constrained at Twitter due to a non-compete from her previous job at NBCUniversal. New York is another location that doesn't care for non-competes.

New Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino’s Non-Compete Clause Constrains Her First Weeks on the Job (Report)

It's unclear when the company's new leader will be able to engage with the advertisers she was hired to lure back to the platform

If you signed a non compete in a different state, that state can hold you to it. If you were solely in California you're free.

Silicon valley got going when people fled the first chip company in large part because the CEO was controlling/ a bit nuts.

The keyword was "confused". Unwittingly, the media is now acknowledging Biden's mental capacity has a leak in it.

But most of the MSM doesn't favor liberals.

Community notes is amazing. This never would have been fact checked under Jack.

So wait, a liberal gave a completely dishonest account of what actually happened to spin the story so it fit the narrative? The Hell you say! I am just shocked.

I forgot. Everything was applied equally under Jack, so nobody criticized Twitter's impartiality pre-Elon. The censorship of the right and rare fact-checking of the left had a ton to do with Elon wanting to purchase Twitter and prioritize free speech.

They've already forgotten how liberal politicians were working with Twitter behind the scenes to censor conservatives.

My fav community notes are those on Elon’s own tweets debunking shit he’s just said

Yes, applying truth equally is a good thing.

And right on queue, Toronto plays the “but”card rather than acknowledge the idiocy of Sisson’s post.

It could be that left-wing folks don’t get the community note because they think illegally pulling a child from the womb, killing it, and burning it is completely acceptable? I mean, they are fine keeping a delivered baby comfortable on the table and killing it, right?

Annnnnnnd you miss the point entirely lmao.

No, I got your point. Just find it pretty SOP for you to ignore the post and deflect to something else, like in this instance, Dorsey and Musk.
