Is Chiefsplanet seriously going to outlive Twitter?

[Wisconsin_Chief]

It's pretty funny, because I lurked on this board since way back in the day when the KC Star board went down when I was just a teenager. Didn't register for years and years because I assumed this board would meet the same fate as that one and all the other little ones that sprung up afterwards, yet here it is, still rolling. I don't believe any of the other ones are still even around.

It's a nice place. I mean it's a total cesspool, but it's nice.

It goes both ways though. There was also the spoiled brat that thought he could just light things on fire without a plan. The blue check fiasco was a multi billion dollar disaster. And he’s probably going to get penalized out the wazoo for his total lack of strategy blowing up content moderation in spite of strict European regulations. I am interested in seeing big shakeups at Twitter but this ain’t it. Sell it to someone with similar thinking who actually understands content tech.

lol you dumbass. Elon gave everyone a severance if they wanted to leave.

Sounds pretty cool to me..

DCish but gonna try....

Its By design and lets not pretend anyone has any idea what is going on beind the scense. They were bleeding money. A lot of others in here simply don't like it because the platform isn't ran anymore by one side of the political isle. Before musk,Twitter was completely swinging one way and these people had no qualms about it, defended it. Now it's ran by someone who is not abiding by the same biased political viewpoint Twitter was operating by and it's HES SCUM!!!.

I don't give a **** about musk but it is truly hilarious watching the last few days the utterly hypocrisy from the people who said StArT yOuR oWn pLaTfOrM if you don't like it. This includes politicians who now want to open investigation.

FFS i just wish people weren't so brainwashed and could see this stuff.

Has it always been this way? Are people utterly incapable of seeing things for what they are and not only what their political views have to coincide with? I hate the world today.

1. Twitter had financial problems before Elon.

2. The power social media companies have is disturbing, at least to me. Outside of name and shame, boycott, or start your own, not a lot to be done and certainly not a lot to be discussed outside of DC.

3. I don't see that Elon is playing his cards very well, but I suppose we will have to give the rookie-media-owner more than two weeks to make or break...

Agree with all.

Social media is responsible for a lot of the mental health issues we have today there's plenty of documentaries about it. I think or hope one day a study is done and we will realize the impact the cess pools have had on humans and society. Probably already is but no one cares because the narcissims is addicitng. Selfies, filters, likes, constant contact, so much self worth wrapped up in that shit you see now adays. People out there airing thier dirty laundry. People weren't meant to live their lives like that. What does that do to a society when your self worth is wrapped into your social media timeline?

Abso-****ing-lutely

It is rotting our brains and I think those in charge of these media know it, want to fight it but ultimately can’t bring themselves to do it because they can’t stop themselves from wanting to monetize it. It’s one thing to be addicted but even worse to have algorithms that can specifically manipulate you.

I have worked at my current job for the past 7 years and even though it can be stressful at times, the management is amazing and the owner is so humble and down to earth. That is why I still work where I work. I am treated well and with respect. The company provides workers with full health benefits and daily quality meals. It's why people rarely quit.
Twitter has always provided meals to their hardworking staff. Musk comes in and takes that away. And demands them to work 12 hr shifts. It's insulting and inhumane.

Not everyone has quit. But a large chunk, 1/3 has been reported, seems to have quit, including their entire human resources department.

I hope Elon buys the FBI next.

Elon will keep it running as long as he wants to keep it running. I just worry about what happens if he ever gets bored with it.

I don't know about that. The world might find out that 90% of Twitter employees can quit or be fired and that has no effect on the ability of people to keep on tweeting.

Seriously, how many people do you really need to run Twitter? If I bought it and it had 5000 employees, I'd fire 4500 of them. If a bunch quit during that process.....even better.
