Twitter C/D

more from that advertising $ story

During the September 27 interview, Yaccarino also claimed, “In the last 12 weeks alone, about 1,500 advertisers have returned. So whether it is small business or big brands, right? Like AT&T, Visa, Nissan, all returning.” Of those three companies she specifically mentioned, AT&T is the only one that was a top advertiser pre-Musk, and the company has spent just $781 in the last 12 weeks — 99.96% less than the more than $1.77 million it spent during the 12 weeks before Musk’s acquisition.

Visa and Nissan are similarly spending just a fraction of what they spent pre-Musk. Visa spent just $10, and Nissan spent just $687, in the last 12 weeks — 99.99% and 99.77% less than they respectively spent during the 12 weeks before Musk’s acquisition.

what are they even doing with these tiny buys

targeting the tiny “losers who pay for twitter” market?

what kind of ad do you get for ten bucks? I might get in on this

I wouldn't be surprised if the Visa ads were just displayed on accident and they got invoiced for them

tfw when you target just one specific guy on twitter..... and he scrolls past your ad

that article says it's using data from sensor tower - have no idea what their methodology is or how accurate it is. still, a good article for lols all around

I SEE YOU

what the

did he make that with iMessage

beginning to think he has broken through to some new conceptual level of shitposting

pretty sure i recognize those fire clips from a shareware pack i had 20 years ago

he's just appropriating the Eye of Sauron meme and applying it to X. great messaging there.

best part is how fucked up and off center the x is when its spinning and changing sizes

it’s like a meme you’d see on someone’s laptop in a tv show

definitely was made on a phone

He probably stole someone else's meme.

Yeah, as though he could make even something this shit himself.

Very reminiscent of Trump reposting memes of himself as Rocky and Superman

what’s the eye of Sauron meme

Yeah I’m not familiar w that one tbh

Have you guys not seen Lord of the Rings, just referencing the CUT TO GIANT FLAMING EYE shots of Sauron

right yes but a meme? am unfamilz

I went for months feeling like Twitter was going to basically stay the same for normal users even while Musk kept getting weirder and bitterer but I have to say, in the last few weeks there is really noticeably more right-wing troll content in my "For You" tab, and just plain LESS in my "Following" tab, presumably because a lot of people I follow are no longer posting.

As long as the fascist neo-nazi content is saturating the rest of the platform, but isn’t right on my feed, I’ll keep using it, eh?

i’ll keep drinking that garbage

yea I opened it last night what with Sunday Night Football and a MLB playoff game going at the same time, usually it's pretty active then but I'm getting like 5-6 new "posts" every 10 minutes, nothing like what it used to be

already grinding my teeth at now seeing media using the "..posted on X, formerly known as Twitter"

twxttxr

what a terrible moment for twitter to have decayed so far into a feed of what basically one guy thinks you should see https://t.co/mtsHDwV3xM

one guy who *lowers sunglasses* is also an idiot and a bad person btw

elmo what if there are no objective or accurate words *elmo self destructs like fembot*

can we not refer to Elon Musk as "elmo", as a point of respect to the beloved former ilxor elmo argonaut?

Also it's too fucking easy to find him.

oh that's Waldo

having a harder time finding elmo... can you tell me how to get to sesame street

That's not the way, Mr. Noodle!

yeah idk how elmo is insulting.
you’re either not wanting to say his name, or you’re comparing him to a children’s character that was only publicly reviled when he was made into a popular toy but has otherwise been a beloved, empathetic character for several generations

ok from now on he's x

xlxn mxsk

pxdo guy

El No

Xlon

Nole Skum

Emerald boy

Bad Tesla

fun fact: Tommy Skeoch is the former guitarist for Tesla, and the current guitarist for Bad Marriage

"elmo" is like "drumpf"; funny for one second and then annoying forever

elmo mrumpf
