how many bot herders does twitter really need...
I don’t know much about corporate structure since I came from the restaurant industry prior to the arts. But if the owner canned half of the kitchen staff overnight then there probably wouldn’t be any dinner service that evening. So will Twitter still be able to function enough to retain “content creators” or will it go the way of MySpace ?
Corporate Socialists really hate the free market.
At least MySpace guy cashed out and from what I've heard, is living a normal quiet retired lifestyle.
I wouldn't be against Captain Elon going down with the ship.
There is a series of editorials in existence the last few days, written by current and newly former tesla advocates. Basically the shit changleen will be saying 9 months from now.
Poor fellas (all fellas) starting to question whether they want to be 'seen' driving a symbol of douchey right wing propaganda masquerading as virtue just to make a profit off of them. Oh my, can you even imagine...

If you think any of those ideas are novel, @kidwoo, that’s pretty disappointing.
If I think what ideas are novel?
You mind speaking up? I can't quite hear you over the buzz of progress and the pride of north america.
I'm not much of an ends justify the means kind of guy when it comes to people with this much power and influence.

you just need to man the fuck up and sacrifice yourself and your beliefs for the greater good. progress by consumption. the sooner you realize that buying more plastic is the answer to ALL of our problems, the happier you’ll be. you do want to be happy, don’t you?
Just gotta figure out how to tack on an extra
I would enjoy seeing twitter fail and Mr Musk lose his shirt. I realize that as an OG I'm not the intended user but I never have felt the need to have a twitter account or follow anyone on any social media platform. I really don't give enough of a shit about other peoples opinions to want to follow them and hang onto their every thought
Twitter is a LinkedIn extension these days, too many people depend on it for their (perceived) career success, which is very unfortunate for the rest of us who don't give a fuck.
Oh man wait till you find out about a thing called youtube.
These conversations of "I don't need" "I don't see the value in" "I'm too cool for" are pretty short sighted.
I didn't need facebook in 2015-2020 either but it almost overthrew our government.
You also know damn well how much on the ground reporting you post from Ukraine that is entirely on these social media platforms. Stuff you will never know about just watching major so-called news reporting.
What egomaniacs do with these platforms matters. Whether you find them or not is irrelevant because in some way shape or form, they will find you.
They're like 29" wheels. Sure you can just say 'I'm going to ride what I like' but the trails start getting sanitized, bikes cost over 10k now, very little rowdy new mtb terrain gets built anymore. Enduro pants are a thing now. The 29er was the evil within that metastasized whether your ignored it or not. Social media is a 29er.

I think we're in an agreement. There's no escaping Twitter, unfortunately. I only have the worst experience with it, beware private companies owning the fabric of our society. Even worse so when in private hands.
Probably relevant.

I suppose this means Brian will start posting in PaWN again.
Russia Reactivates Its Trolls and Bots Ahead of Tuesday’s Midterms (Published 2022)
Researchers have identified a series of Russian information operations to influence American elections and, perhaps, erode support for Ukraine.
I suppose this means Brian will start posting in PaWN again.
Elon Musk destroyed public transportation in California in order to keep people in cars. He did this alongside Koch industries. Notice how he's pretty vocal about not wanting to completely eliminate fossil fuels? He knows they have a future together in parallel propaganda. Now imagine what he can accomplish with complete control over one of the biggest megaphones and 10 million shitlibs lapping up his electric bullshit because they think they're saving something.
Anyone who thinks tesla or anything else this asshole touches is some meaningful step towards a sustainable future is a fucking moron.

Remember when you rode dh bikes and smashed rocks and hit jumps and everyone agreed the spandex, heart rate crowd sucked? Because they did
Let's look at those again.
This is "DH"
These are yoga pants
It's exactly like what social media does to your dad once he retires and gets an iphone with newsmax loaded on it.
Just sucks the soul right out through the nostrils. Logic, decency, shame, dignity....all right out the window.
Few truly realize the devastation that 29ers wrought on this once great sport.

I love it when grampswoo complains about how kids are wearing pants. Back in my day we rode in dungarees with suspenders.
newb
Everything I know about trousers I learned in the humid south. If you can't have a sweaty asscrack without the whole world knowing, that's poor garment design.
so am i doing it right by not wearing the pants? i'm confused. what about goggles? i never wear them. do i need to stop riding dh?
guess I'm lucky in that I still ride a 26er and the trails around here are rocky and rutted.
You're on borrowed time with that handlebar regardless. With you it's more like hospice care. Just make yourself comfortable. It's all we can do.
lol
You know that’s impossible by definition when interacting with him, right? Of course you woo.
I literally liked his post when he made it. Because we agree.
Not to shatter your illusions or anything.
i mean, i am part of the old man no spandex crew i guess, although buddy on the right's got 7 years on me. ain't getting any younger...those elderly people units at snowshoe sure are nice.
If you think thats spandex I have a new hope for humanity
My MTB endeavor began in the early 80s and the only 'baggies' I saw were on the hodads riding loaded bikes. First time in Nelson in the 90s I was the guy with Roach knee/shin pads...with lycra bibs. Got laughed at, good times. Canadian fun and I got to light the PR sometimes for my fashion sense
At entry level pay?
Free speech you say?
www.nbcnews.com
Comedian Kathy Griffin suspended from Twitter after mocking CEO Elon Musk
It wasn't clear whether the suspension was a direct result of her ribbing the billionaire, but Musk warned that impersonator accounts without a "parody" label would be banned.
captain free speech needs his safe space:
Wonder how many companies over the next few years will use this supposed "recession" to lay people off and reset increased salaries they had to pay to attract talent.
I wonder how many other imposter accounts are being nuked?
My bet is the vast vast majority are parodying a single dude from a family soaked in blood.
