In a better world, I might hope for this to be the beginning of the end for social media and online ads. In this one, well…
That doesn’t matter, his current customers are governments and oligarchs who want people to have certain opinion.
You don’t need advertisers when you’ve got the garment in your pocket. Don’t you worry that little deposit he made into the White House coffers won’t let him plenty of sweet cash.
Eh, they’ll come around…
Green Day’s When I Come Around starts playing
Now, can Facebook shut down to the Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of your life)”?
What a coincidence, Trump’s loyalty purge email was titled “A fork in the road” https://www.opm.gov/fork
God damn it these fucking techbro loligarchs and their dipshit nerd humor.
Hurr hurr we’re making a fork of the US government code hurr durr.
What a bunch of juvenile fucking delinquents.
I don’t know. Haven’t been playing that close enough attention. Wake Me Up When September Ends.
I don’t have much faith in advertisers starving Zuckerberg of cash. Unless there’s an exodus of users from Facebook, Instagram, and whatever else Zuckerberg owns then there’s not going to be any pressure on advertisers to abandon those sites.
Other than myself I only know one other person who has quit Facebook over this, so I very much doubt that advertisers will stay away. It took a lot more for them to leave Twitter, even after Elon told them to fuck off and sued them for not advertising on his platform.
Everyone I know that would have left Facebook over this already left years ago during other scares/changes/security issues.
I dropped it cold Turkey about 9yrs ago and never looked back.
I remember back when Elmo took over Twitter and advertisers could be shamed into quitting. But slowly they all crawled back. Hopefully it will stick this time.
Advertisers will go where people are. Unless people are leaving the Zuckerverse, the advertisers will just go along with it.
Who knew, these tech bros would drive consumers and advertisers together to fight a common enemy.
To paraphrase Mayor Quimby: if the winds of change are blowing, never let it be said that Mark Zuckerberg does not also blow.
Elmo has had a toxic influence in the modern world.

How rude am I allowed to be to my friends who have facebook accounts? Cause I want to ask them how different it is from Stromfront.
Seems reasonable. Probably not that different to boot.
