Twitter has proven amazingly resilient in the face of its malignant owner. I almost never go there anymore but clearly plenty of people do. My hope is that everyone who isn’t a musk fan will leave, but I’m afraid that hope might never be realized .

The vast majority of Twitter accounts these days are for business, which includes influencers and other self promoters. Between those and bot accounts to pad numbers/harvest data, there isn't much genuine human interest in the platform.

Bless your heart.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/technology/maye-musk-is-a-proud-mom-as-sons-x-platform-scores-a-win-over-mark-zuckerbergs-instagram-and-facebook-elon-musk-says-there-is-still-limited-understanding/ar-BB1qZYOu

Press X to doubt.

Looking at the data on similarweb, which he is citing here, it's obvious that there's data irregularity there. Just look at the traffic numberse for April/May/June -- https://www.similarweb.com/website/x.com -- it does seem like they did some kinda twtter/x merge in May for overall ranking, which makes sense, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's just a ton of duplicate data in there which is what lead to the drastic increase

Web ads suck but how else do you think your favorite websites will stay in business? Are you prepared to pay a subscription to every site? I doubt it…

Ads alone aren't even enough these days (please don't block them here 😢)

I could write a fucking dissertation about how Google has destroyed the internet..

...and now Apple is bringing the nails? 

Running a news site in 2024 is like building a coffin from the inside out. So yeah... kinda 😉

Can someone explain to me why only Apple is getting attacked? Consoles such as the Switch and Playstation don’t allow alternative app stores. In the switch’s Fortnite case VBucks aren’t usable if you got them from outside the switch store/battle pass. In fact I logged into my account on Playstation and I had 4,700 vbucks while My Switch said 700.

This is why: https://data.ai/en/insights/mobile-gaming/2023-gaming-spotlight-report/
