Loge Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 As somebody else stated further above, Twitter has never been a success as a social network. It is a useful source of news, though. Wouldn't know where else to go for info on the war in Ukraine. Certainly not the big media outlets. Wade1865 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I get most of what I want on the Ukraine war from a couple of Youtube channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure social media has been a net benefit to the world in the forms it has been served to us so far. Has anyone tried to quantify the benefit vs harm social media has facilitated and come up with an answer to the question: has it been worth it? Does Westeros count as social media?

The Anti-Targ Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I call it the Game of Thrones forum to most people even though that's semi-sacrilege. Most people have no clue what ASOIAF means, even when said in full, and it's too much of a mouthful to say. LinkedIn is my only social media too, though for me it's more like anti-social media.

DMC Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Yeah, the reason I post on forums - and have since 1998 when I was 13, albeit not this one - is precisely to avoid social media as much as possible. They're not the same to me at all. Madame deVenoge, Lady Anna, Poobah and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave the remaining unsaid. Twitter will be a wasteland by 2023. Enron doesn't have enough other businesses to prop up the ad budget (SpaceX made a large, for Twitter, ad buy to market Starlink) Eta- Failed dunking that @Varysblackfyre321 posted is another leadership fail too.

The amount of detraction (especially its petty, hysterical, and vitriolic nature) that Elon faces is inspiring to me and, no doubt, motivating to him. Twitter continues to serve my needs and those of over a quarter billion others. If it fails, I’ll remain more than satisfied with the good experiences and other things it provided thus far. By the way, I just looked up catturd2; apparently, he’s verified, hahaha. His handle is catturd2 … I love Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
