    “Pause”: we can’t risk being associated with this so we have to make a statement, let it blow over and silently begin advertising again sometime later.

    They’re the only proper company that I see on there. All the rest of the advertisers are shitty Chinese gadgets.

    It’s hard to tell they were even advertising in the first place.

    80% of the ads on Twitter now are self-promo’s, crypto scams, and start ups.

    It’s no wonder the company is sinking in debt

    My my my… if isn’t the consequences of his actions coming back to haunt him, again and again and again. What is Twitter worth now? $10b?

    This is ironic considering that Tim Cook has met with China’s dictator before. And Apple does business with a country that is against basic human rights.

      Once the US decided to hollow out its manufacturing sector, everyone does business with China at some level. It’s virtually impossible not to.

        It’s virtually impossible not to.

        Apple has more money in the bank than most countries in the world.

        If they wanted to bring manufacturing back the the US, they could.

      It’s not ironic at all, or remotely similar. You’re just too deep inside the rabbit hole to realize.

    It’s strange how one guy just ruined a whole platform for millions of people…but I guess that happens all the time, look at tumblr lol. I used to love going to teavana, then Starbucks bought it and closed all the locations. Nothing last forever I guess, I always think google will be there though lol.
