- Comment on X rolls out new ad format that can't be reported, blocked 1 year ago:
I’ve already filtered them out from searches. Might as well do this as well.
- Comment on US ad revenue at Musk's X declined each month since takeover -data 1 year ago:
Now I’ve only had to use Twitter sparingly since Musk took it over, but before he took it over I want getting harassed or death threats from randoms for merely posting a picture. Site is beyond disgusting and disrepair at this point. Nazi content is also getting pushed to the fore. Something is definitely up since he took over and fucked with the algorithm and other things.
- Comment on X drops headlines from articles, as new report details its bleeding ad revenue 1 year ago:
They’ve gone and Dugg themselves a whole that will never come out of while Musk is there.
- Comment on The Moral Case for No Longer Engaging With Elon Musk’s X 1 year ago:
Better real time engagement. Think of it like your own personal news ticker or curated radio station with updates. I used it to get updates from sporting events when I didn’t necessarily have access to a radio/tv and couldn’t watch/ listen to a game, etc. because I was indisposed, at a function, movie, etc.I had a whole host of journalists, personalities, and people that would basically/ practically give me play by play and keep me informed of what was going on. It was actually truly great. Twitter isn’t even close to what it once was.
- Comment on The Moral Case for No Longer Engaging With Elon Musk’s X 1 year ago:
A couple people I know dumped their teslas because they didn’t want to support the nazi.

You forgot one major thing: the porn has left in droves.
- Comment on Twitter / X is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it. 1 year ago:
Even the porn is leaving. Multiple porn users/ accounts have stopped posting as well. I have an alt on Twitter just for porn and that has begun to dry up. You can see when the last time they logged on/ tweeted and it’s been weeks. It really isn’t hard to see that Twitter is a sinking ship.
- Comment on Losing subscribers, Disney+ starts fighting password sharing, too 1 year ago:
They have too many garbage shows and too much shitty content. There are way more things I hated than I can say I liked. Secret invasion, book of boba fett, obi wan - all terrible, etc.
- Comment on Linda Yaccarino’s wild interview at the Code Conference 1 year ago:
I’ve seen weekend at Bernie’s. She’s a glorified sock puppet. I’m amazed they even let her out to speak.

This is where the fun begins…
- Comment on “Yeah, they’re gone”: Musk confirms cuts to X’s election integrity team — “‘Election Integrity’ Team.. was undermining election integrity,” Musk writes 1 year ago:
You mean the person hired to wear the mascot costume? What does she actually do there? It’s still just Elon. Elon should’ve just worn a wig. Would’ve been the same end result and he could save Twitter even more money.
- Comment on **THE CREATOR Discussion Megapost** 2023-09-29 👶🔫 1 year ago:
Convoluted and a mess of a movie. Felt super disconnected from the characters. Amazing world, special and visual effects. Wanted more of that. An absolute treat for the eyes and imagination but just that everything else was generic, lackluster, disappointing, nonsensical, not properly explained or the movie just jumps around willy Nilly and can be confusing to say the least. I really wanted to like it because I live sci fi and we don’t get enough of this sort of thing, but the end result isn’t greater than the off its parts. Perhaps a director’s cut is required/ necessary, as it really seemed like good chunks of the movie were missing.
- Comment on Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube Music 1 year ago:
I’m totally on board them getting investigated for antitrust and monopolistic practices. Google has really turned to shit the last 4-5 years.
- Comment on Uber: EU rules will see us pull out of “hundreds” of European cities — Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc 1 year ago:
I’m sorry but taxis were never as bad as Uber. Taxis had actual rules and regulations that they would abide by. I never saw a taxi driver run an endless shift like they would as an uber that jeopardizes the health/safety of the driver/passenger. Also, taxis actually followed proper maintenance of their vehicle. I’ve seen one too many uber’s that looked like the driver didn’t give a shit.

Fuck uber.
- Comment on Ransomware Hackers Steal Millions From Vegas Casinos 1 year ago:
It would be hilarious if they hit their AP database and removed all the people that were unfairly entered because they “were too good.”
Seriously, nobody is shedding a tear on these parasitic casinos that provide no societal benefit.
- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Might Put X/Twitter Behind A Paywall 1 year ago:
He fundamentally doesn’t understand what Twitter is/was or does. That’s why this is like watching someone enter a race but keep tripping on their own shoelaces.
- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Might Put X/Twitter Behind A Paywall 1 year ago:
I believe he’s only good at wasting money and destroying livelihoods. With 200 billion he should’ve fucked off somewhere as he’s clearly not useful for anything. Even Zuckerberg and Bezos have their value.
- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Might Put X/Twitter Behind A Paywall 1 year ago:
He could’ve spent money building his own Twitter and leave us be but instead he had to go and waste 44+billion to cause harm and damage and destroy a company with employees making a living. It goes without saying he is just such a shit, vile and evil person.
- Comment on Unity apologises. 1 year ago:
Unity should be cast into the dust bin of history and obsolescence. Fuck off unity. The world is moving forward to a better future without you.
- Comment on Elon Musk Stormed Into the Tesla Office Furious That Autopilot Tried to Kill Him 1 year ago:
The world was a better place when Tesla wasn’t around.
- Comment on Two Vegas casinos fell victim to cyberattacks, shattering the image of impenetrable casino security 1 year ago:
They don’t operate in good faith and take advantage of people. Fuck them. Good on the hackers/thieves. Nobody is crying that casinos lost money.
- Comment on Developers fight back against Unity’s new pricing model 1 year ago:
We’ll definitely be seeing more variety in output, hopefully, going forward.
- Comment on Developers fight back against Unity’s new pricing model 1 year ago:
I’m actively avoiding unity games and unity development, so there’s that. Can’t put that genie back in the bottle. They massively fucked up.
- Comment on Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz 1 year ago:
This is mafia/mob-like like behavior from unity. It’s a shake down, pure and simple.
- Comment on Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz 1 year ago:
Lose your business now or lose it later, what’s the difference? Unity is basically behaving like the mafia. The installation fee is protection money. Fuck 'em.
- Comment on Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz 1 year ago:
This isn’t a normal scenario/ situation. This is an all hands on deck emergency, worst case situation. You cannot continue with unity under any circumstances. This is a pivot moment with unity endangering your whole existence, as well as showing their obsolescence. Anybody that sticks with unity now is setting themselves up for failure. This installation charge isn’t just bad for developers/ businesses, but consumers as well and consumers will need to avoid unity games. Unless you’re a dev or really into gaming, most people probably couldn’t even tell you what a game engine is or what their favorite games’ are built in. This will now force them to be conscience of unity games and to avoid them.
- Comment on Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz 1 year ago:
Rip the band aid now. Stop all development in unity. Unity has shown that it’s obsolete.

I don’t want another attack vector for some hacker on my computer. That phone home code will be the second coming of the Sony rootkit.

They already are. They’re being yanked all over.
