Tumblr made fun of Twitter's purchasing blue checkmarks thing by allowing users to buy TWO checkmarks, and you can even buy multiple pairs and stack them to have a ridiculous amount of checks
It’s the funniest shit, hilarious. Like they’re actively profiting from their biggest competitor lmao

Nobody cares about Tumblr
People who buy verification on any platform are losers.
@@alvarorubenvera5915 twitter instead no matter who owns it? pfffttt!
Elon's "genius move" of pulling teams from Tesla, SpaceX and the Boring Co. to work on Twitter, sounds like the setup for a joke: "So an EV engineer, a rocket engineer, and a tunneling engineer walk into Twitter HQ..."
Hah, well yeah, they certainly seem like odd choices. Keep in mind though: Basically every complex industry employs software engineers these days. I think there might well be more overlap between making a car regulate it's own driving and making a software platform regulate it's own content, than one might immediately assume.
@@davidschaftenaar6530
That's what you think pal. It isn't. Nice try though. No, not every complex industry employs software engineers. Nice try though. Most don't. They might buy some software or use some services from other companies but that's another issue. Musk had serious issues with employee retention at Tesla. If they ever hired any software engineers, those were some of the main culprits. They also had problems hiring. Software engineers get involved for the money, they aren't like aerospace engineers that dream of working in the field.
Bingo. Ignore David. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Let that sink in.
What’s the punchline
11:06 at best I believe you meant to say 420 thousand verified users.
Twitter has roughly 450 million active users, and for sure 420 million of them cannot be verified. Less than 1% of twitter users are verified.
The webs are full of statistics that it is near impossible to verify. 220M to 450M in 2022 seems to be the range of estimations.
Who cares dude 420 dude 🤙
Well, how many of those "users" are bots or sock accounts? I kinda doubt Twitter has half a billion active users, that's 1/16 of everyone on Earth. And while it's not exactly evidence, I don't personally know anyone that uses Twitter, or even likes the platform. So those numbers seem rather inflated. I mean, Twitter is essentially the internet version of gossip magazines, but at least in my experience of reality there aren't that many people that care about what William Shatner or some Kardashian is upset about this week. Maybe I just live a sheltered life, but I find this really hard to believe.
Twitter as a top news source doesn't fill me with confidence.
It reminds me that Facebook held that title, and had so little reality that it's almost a sad RPG.
There’s just more somebody’s on Twitter. Reporters, politicians, celebrities. You get their direct drivel straight into your eyeballs. But it’s also filled to hell snd back with bots so it’s easily manufacturer consent to many topics
Is there any news source that fills you with confidence? What news source isn't biased or agenda pushing? That's just the nature of the business.
Quick question, why is the FBI and CIA so minor in this video? You've revealed insane scandals and misconceptions
The rantings of a rich person would seem to be secondary to a government in association with our media, in my opinion
Yeah, the governments involvement in social media is appalling. It worries me that people care so little about it. Either saying it doesn't affect them, or assigning it to a political argument... This is the US government silencing legal and protected speech... Both white house's took part in it too.
He's a liberal.
When did they step in, your comment implies they had some action in this deal. While at best they were bystanders (in this court case)
also he said insane hours of work meanwhile only 40 hours was mentioned. So they cant work for 8 hours a day 5 days a week to get around 100 grand, the entitlement is whats insane
@@rockfire1669 Cold Fusion himself said the FBI and CIA working with Twitter is not surprising.
Talk to him about the court case, I'm only replying to his thoughts on why the FBI and CIA involvement is so minor in this video
I'm no virtuoso or financial expert, yet when I previously caught wind of Elon purchasing and running Twitter, it was a senseless move for some and a lamentable move for other people. It turns out there is. Incredible video. You reliably convey the best happy, are generally insightful, seldom critical, and profoundly important.
...
This is especially true for those who have retired or are about to retire. My condolences to everyone retiring in this crisis. Years of work just loses everything in a crisis you didn't create.
''''Early retirement at age 50. Where we are all headed, in all aspects of finances in this breath, I am really worried about the future. floating way. Thinking about investing in the capital markets for the first time, how can you do all this when the markets are in turmoil all year round?''''
....It's an incredible opportunity to get into the market as stock is diminishing, yet it is prescribed to get a coach or trained professional.
l haveIost large chunk of change, I'm simply attempting to recuperate, I truly need assistance, who is this speculation counselor who guides you until the end of time! This all occurred in under a year after KIMBERLY JEAN HEAVNER guided me. I began with under $100,000, and presently I'm about $17,000 shy of a fourth of 1,000,000.
Jean seems, by all accnts, to-be knowledgeable and all around read. I just ran a Google look for her name and ran over her site; thank you for sharing.
I am not an American too. Well, the surveillance/intelligence services in every country wanted to have a means to know what people are thinking and doing without spying. Social Media has been one of their tools. . .
Try 1980s, Yuri Bezemov explained thoroughly.
Knowing what people are thinking is just the start, what they really want is to control what people are thinking. And that's fairly easy if you can pick and choose what gets buried and what should be trending. Throw some bots in there to stir the pot and you basically got a recipe for social engineering on a mass scale. All you need now is mainstream media to use it as a source and give it legitimacy for the cherry on top.
Either.
No -> either
Yes -> as well/too
Not too looks really fucking stupid.
Yeah and Elon has been complying more with the FBI than the former twitter did
Remember 3 years ago when the media and so many on social media fawned over Elon Musk?
The world basically flipped on him instantly as soon as he become technically the world's richest person.
@@SuperNovaJinckUFO Nah, they flipped on him the moment he exposed himself as a fraud who fell in love with the far right.
@@SuperNovaJinckUFO
oh I see, it isn't that he sucks, its that we've all 'betrayed' him, haha
Including cold fusion.
@@blurkkies Including biden..
it sure has been unreal watching this drama of twitter play out on twitter 🍿🍿
Tbh I dont hear anything about Twitter since the news all spontaneously agreed that the president is bad for having files not properly secured. Kind of suspicious that the news which covered for him for so long is now flipping the script imo. But then again, the only social media I use is YT, and here I am on a video talking about Twitter...that I'm not goong to listen to and only read the comments.
Oddly, I don't go on Twitter to watch anything? I CBF trying to read so many threads that fork off into some other spot fire digital drama over here; and a little sprinkling of poo poo over there......
"And little the sands through an hour glass! These are the...."
Fuck off 🖕
I literally PMSL hearing about something on Twitter making it's way into the mainstream to go double viral over a pathetic topic.....the levels to which human dialogue can just spiral out of control like slipping arse up in a slippery wet dog turd at the top of the stairs to the subway!
The fact that they send police to someone's house over something that's hurt some unknown person's feelings on the internet?
Well that's a bit like waving red flag to a bull!
I'm glad I don't live in Brittain, where I've seen clips showing this kind of stuff not just 'going on' but quite literally filling every exposed orifice of society like an infection!
Watching videos of police being at someone's front door in less than 20min after posting something to Facebook? They will arrest and hand cuff you, humiliate you with a public spectacle as if you're a hardened criminal? They trump up fines, distort what is policy, deprive you of your civil rights? Lie, manipulates, fabricate data, fabricate anything they want? They can make false threats, tack on extra counts to your charges and the list is never ending?
Yet there's violent home invasion in the same street and the Ambulance gets sick of waiting for the police to even turn up to take statements? Police don't turn up anyway what so ever? They contact next day when everything just seems so much less important? They make you travel down to the station? Information is given but you know.,.... it's just doesn't seem all that stressful? The demeanor of the victim is blunted with 24 hours to calm down, giving the false impression of what occurred 'seeming not all that bad?' and subsequent assigned importance value of 3 when it could have been a 7 the day prior when the victim was laying unresponsive in a pool of blood with hundreds of onlookers in hysteria blah blah blah don't care ....TLDL (too long didn't listen)
Pretty much in Australia you've got a chance that close to 'almost impossible' and 'not a fucking chance' of getting police to do work that requires effor, when it's just easier and more profitable to write up tickets and fines for insert *accused non-compliance violation*-> here .... .... .... ....
Please check the box gamble with police to use your word to play an interactive game called hang man. 3 games highest number of wins is the champion opt in to play second chance game with double or nothing odds!

**Spoken in GTA radio advertising voice**
He works with rockets and several companies. I'm sure this isnt any harder. People are just drama queens and babies. They pay more attention to Twitter instead of far more important topics. Elon has done several great things that help the US and they pay more attention to this? Ignorance
If the work force doesn't have your back or doesn't believe you or want you. Why wouldn't you fire them all I'd they're just going to stab you in the back
creating that situation in the first place was not on the work force
like twitter wasn't a circus before
Now it's a world-class circus
who actually takes twitter seriously, its high school level pettiness
Same circus, different ringmaster
Now it's the world's biggest circus.
We never had the owner being a laughing stock on the twitter timeline, spaces and verified massive impersonations due to his decision with an obvious outcome he was warned against by everyone etc. Also exposing shady dealings at twitter
Honestly, I currently avoid Twitter as much as I can. Opening that page/app is almost equivalent to an intravenous shot of anger and frustration. I don't need to start my day pissed off at some stranger in the internet being an asshole.
I think I created a Twitter account years ago, can’t access it and that’s fine by me..
That's the opposite for me. I get posts from tech companies, bike twitter and urbanist twitter. The odd time I see some drama but I will get that anywhere.
Oh poor dear. Can't stand the marketplace of ideas that don't support your belief system.
I've managed to mostly solve this problem by muting the accounts of every single annoying tweet that shows up in my feed.
@@lfischer8380you seem intelligent.
Elon gets America the way so many leftists don’t. He’s seen how human beings can live outside the US and like many legal immigrants to this country, he has a profound appreciation for things like free speech. He came to the US for a reason. If he could have had the same success at Tesla in any other country, he’d have gone there instead.I have been able to amass over $600k worth of tesla shares & i drive a Model S Plaid, i love the company so much.
Roughly $120k in my portfolio are in tech/TSLA stocks, can I get an advice on any other stocks that I can acquire to diversify my reserve across multiple markets while creating a comprehensive portfolio allocation that balances my concerns of risk aversion and returns that meet yearly inflation.
@@MIchaelGuzman737 As with any big financial decision, it’s important to keep your guard up for economic risks. However, smart planning, time management and seeking advice from an investment adviser can help keep you and your money safe.
I concur with you as well. I invested less than $100k when I first started in stocks, and I currently have approximately $17,000 less than half a million. Thanks to "LISA ELLEN SHAW," a CFP licensed by the SEC. If you want to find out more about her, simply Search her up.
@@IAMBETTERTHANYYOU I looked her up out of curiosity, and shockingly, it appears that she is very highly qualified. I admire the fact that she has experience working with reputable brokerage firms like Fidelity Brokerage Services.
fElon enterred America as an illegal migrant having left a "shithole country" (which is a fantastic place, despite fElon and his grifter ancestors moving there and illegally stealing the locals wealth). He then grifted his status in America to legal, thanks to his legacy stolen wealth, then grifted his way to supposed "founder" of Tesla/Paypal, neither of which he founded but which local Americans did and per his forbears in SA, stole the locals wealth bolstering his perceived glory... with his misappropriated wealth he then paid/subjugated even more locals and leveraged their tenacity and smarts to further increase his perceived glory... he later got sooo drunk on his misappropriated wealth and supposed glory that he broke free of his local carers, misappropriated even more local businesses but this time was seen for the grifter liability he really is and unchecked, wrecked the place- and here we are. Locals losing massive wealth, jobs, wellbeing, as fElon increasingly opens up about being a racist/fascist/idiot/grifter scumbag, per his forbears and how he was evidently raised as a self-righteous, self-centred psychopath.
He has recently embodied the absolute worst of america becoming a tech-ponzi-robber barron as comfortable with grift as he is with racism, fascism, conspiracy theorism. fElon is a human cesspit- literally overflowing with thebworst human AND indeed bull shit.
I'm not sure what exactly Elon's game plan is, but I hope he keeps doing what he's doing, because this shit is hilarious.
Your Fucking Government Is Being Ran By Money Laundering Pedophiles&This Shit Is Hilarious?.This World Is A Piece Of Shit Bruh..Mfs Are Blind!
I think he’s just proving that just because you have billions of dollars doesn’t mean you are good at everything. it could also be an example of the Peter Principle in action.
Musk doesn't have a plan. He never does.
Game plan.... 😂😂😂😂
@@JakeInvest yeah, I got onto it since Musk's takeover. Seems like a good app to shitpost.
Reading people complaining about twitter on twitter was super annoying. 99% of the people who threaten to quit twitter never did, and the app still works despite all the claims that it was going to crash because of the layoffs.
Agreed. Nothing really has changed. All of it is hyperbolic.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why it’s back to #1 in news: people reinstalling, partly from realizing Mastodon isn’t so great.
@@SSingh-nr8qz Not a single one of them complained when they were suckling at the teat of Jack Dorsey's hellish reign.
When the same people conveniently decide now is the time to voice those concerns its hard to see it as anything besides the mob getting butthurt they no longer have a total echo-chamber chokehold on the media.

Jack Dorsey wasn't the founder of twitter. He was one of many people at the beginning and later tried to rewrite history to make himself the main guy. He was also a mediocre CEO
I seem to also recall this channel itself doing a video about that a few years ago...
You met him?
@@anon746912 I think I remember that too. Don't know why he called him the founder here

@@Ebolachicken Well, yes, you right, its probably going down sink.

@@Ebolachicken revenue is in the toilet, advertisers have no confidence in this platform anymore. Users are also leaving the platform in the millions.

Disrupt did it first.
I always thought that was the cringiest part of the whole thing
I always watch your vids and realized I never comment on them. Production and editing quality is top tier, keep it up man. Also preemptive congrats on 4M!
I imagine I must be in the tiny minority that fails to understand why Twitter is so popular. It baffles me why celebrities and politicians have Twitter accounts.From so much I've heard, it's sounds like such a toxic platform in terms of public discourse etc and I simply cannot understand its appeal.
Mind you, I have zero interest in social media as a whole, so no Face Book, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Tick Tock ... and I'm happy, and am able to function perfectly fine without any of it.
I mainly use Twitter to see if the bus have delays, net or cell phone outage, power outage and to make complain to company after I try contacting them but they would not respond bad. Twitter is good at that as it provide real time on these issues
It’s good for learning real time happenings and getting perspectives from both well known and everyday people. The bots are toxic though
It is popular because it is the only mainstream free speech platform on the internet. All others are echo chambers or just good for posting pics (Instagram) or for keeping in touch with family/friends and buying/selling items (Facebook).
I think Twitter's appeal to celebrities, is it allows them to speak to a lot of people at the same time, especially if they have millions of followers.
Much agreed Steve!
The most shocking part about this is that Apple categorizes Twitter as "US News". It can only be #1 in the category because they put it there. How does it rank in social apps?
Because it is news, Twitter isn't Instagram or Facebook they are more news based then anything else
@@matty2309 Every time I've gone on there, they appear to be more toxicity than anything else.
Hope people don’t actually consider twitter news looolz what people just go there to troll and bs
@@matty2309 no it isnt. Its a cesspool. Get a grip
Circle jerk is now considered "news"
Well done documentary. One thing I'm sad you omitted was the whole Mastodon affair when Twitter execs got worried about the swaths of users migrating to the Fediverse and enacted a ban on all links and handles to other social media alongside link aggregators, also banning the official Mastodon account. But it makes sense that you didn't include everything, else this video would be at least twice as long.
to be fair i think its weird people get so upset over it. no one would find it strange that i cant walk into a toyota store and start shouting about how great fords are. people would find it perfectly reasonable that id be kicked out, after all ford has no right to advertise itself inside of a toyota store.
in the same sense it is weird to me that we expect to be allowed to advertise competing services when using online services. i know this is the standard, the expectation people have, but i think it is a weird expectation. ive seen people complain about getting temporary bans on steam game forums because they were shit talking the game in question while telling people to play another game. i mean really? is it so surprising you cant use a companies resources to advertise a competitor?
i really dont think people who reacted so strongly over that are reasonable people capable of sane thought. they're just dramahogs.
@@opposed2logic if one were to see a global platform used for public communications of all kinds as a public good, that kind of policy is really a net negative for everyone.
Besides that though, it's just kinda sad, arbitrary, and seemingly an Elon-direct thing
@@opposed2logic
"i really dont think people who reacted so strongly over that are reasonable people capable of sane thought. they're just dramahogs."
Or perhaps they just took seriously Musk's initial claim that speech would be "freed" on Twitter, that is, only illegal content would be banned?
That evolved pretty quickly to speech that hurt Musk's feelings being banned, and of course links to other social media being banned. Just a part of new owner's show of world-class petulance.
@@opposed2logic people talk about and link to other platforms on social media all the time. How many people link to twitter and Instagram etc on their UA-cam About page? Or literally any other platform? using social media isn't like selling or buying a car. Mastodon is a much competition to Twitter as it is to Tumblr, yet Tumblr doesn't ban links to it.
Yeah he probably didn’t want to promote a pedosite so that’s good he left it out of the vid
Elon: we don't need that many employees.

@@wooloosus6866
Are you being serious or joking with that?
The problem with Twitter as a business (and as a social media platform at all) is that it was never something more than a place to say anything in the shortest way possible, the attempt of capitalizing on it became its downfall, Elon just made it more evident.
twitter is something that can work on a non profit open source way like mastodon. you cannot profit from twitter without changing it drastically.
Even then you would have to bet on twitter users to get onboard with every change.
there is a sizeable graveyard of earstwhile great social media companies, I hope this does not become twitter's hubris which leads to their downfall.
What downfall?
@@la_sn3ak3r19 Watch the video you're currently commenting on, lmao.
Thing is, they could actually make it profitable, they jus tried to do it the stupidest way possible, it was stupid monetizing the checkmarks, they could make a premium tier where users could post longer tweets, a curated news feed with reliable sources, etc. I guess Elon realized he was left holding the bag and wanted to recoup his losses quickly by putting the checkmark behind a paywall that nobody really wants to pay for.
Exactly. It's not some futuristic a
amazing technology. Its literally a poster board.
The ONLY WAY to make enough money to keep it valuable is ads.
Ad companies are sketchy about who they do business with.
Elon should know this. And screaming about the "woke mind virus" is his attempt to blame cancel culture.
Thought he was smarter than that. You always have to cater to the ones who pay your bills. There's no way around it, even if you're a billionaire
It looks like building up a sleekly organized company from the ground is "easier" than trimming an existing one down to become whatever you want.
Logically, very much so. When building you gain knowledge, and the knowledge gained per person is more. When you trim, knowledge is lost per definition.
That is not Elons way. He never build anything from ground up.
Specially if you do the trimming with a chainsaw...
Blindfolded.
@@mdjey2 BS, he built PayPal, SpaceX and many Tesla subsidiaries from the ground up.

BUT NOW? damn it's the funnest it's ever been 🔥
It was....
Thank you for discussing the illegal government use of Twitter. I think this is far more important and interesting than any other aspect of the story, though it has been quite interesting altogether.
Absolutely!
What I find very fascinating is that very few of the main stream media reported on the twitter files. They dumped all over Elon Musk himself almost to a man/woman, but nothing of the biggest story in recent decades. THAT is the main story here, as far as I'm concerned.
Twitter files has been a nothingburger so far.
Mainstream media = Establishment. They protect their own.
I think that's mostly about there not being a lot that's newsworthy in those files.
That's what you find interesting? Not Elon showing how clueless he really is? How thin skinned? How tyrannical over speech? How ignorant to how Twitter worked?
There was nothing of importance in those files except that some people get shadowbanned. Not exactly news worthy
Having worked as a jr seng at a small tech company with multiple services, I imagine some of the manpower loss resulted in byzantine systems becoming near impossible to work with due to the unavailability of SMEs for knowledge transfer.
Imagine entire teams gone for infra or dev-ops or some core auth service with existing lacklustre documentation. It might take a competent senior weeks to just make sense of the damn thing if they had no prior experience with the system, if they are even the right person to be taking over in the first place.
So I guess that just means some systems, services or features just get abandoned entirely. And nobody even looks at it until it becomes a problem in the future.
I don't understand any of this comment lol

@@wentoneisendon6502 basically if there's no one there to show you the ropes of how a system works, you'll flounder for quite a bit until you learn what's going on.
It's actually a big problem in tech, so much stuff was programmed decades ago and not a lot of experience is passed down, so new hires have to figure out how people used to code. People program differently now than they used to.
Twitter is only so influential because a lot of reporters are on it and in turn media often talks about tweets
I think governing Twitter showed Elon Musk's real face. Forcing his newly acquired employees to work insane hours in the office instead of working from home as they used to ... and the American car traffic (jam) is bad and working distances in the US are insane. Does Elon really care about the environment when he forces his employees to drive every day for doing the same job which can be done from home? Firing half of the workforce, which resulted in almost crippling the company. Elon is a genius!!!
He is a visionary. X22AZ is a long hold
You're right. He's a visionary. He visions his employees bringing their own toilet paper to work...Oh wait, that's not a vision. That's reality.
@@SnoopyDoofie that's not a real comment, it's a bot promoting a scam

@@StellarAudyssey agreed. It was a fantastic troll. I appreciate Elons sense of humour. I think he needs it to handle all the pressure
Dagogo could narrate a nuclear war and make it soothing and reassuring.
Twitter was a circus before Elon
lol
We need a new word After Elon took over.
Twitter files showed a lot of communications between government and twitter staff about censorship
Dickriding is crazy
True, but now, everyone has a front row seat to this three ring shitshow.
Twitter really in a worst condition now. Bots spam are always there , even commenting in something bans me for days for no reason
Wait you make your own music?! Wtf this guy is multi-talented
Probably one of my favorite channels to ever exist. Keep doing what you're doing - you are doing amazing work. 👏
He posted on twitter, that his channel will be deleted in 2 weeks, due to copyright issues. He's trying to sort it.
Some employees were "almost" forced to sleep at the office? What does that even mean?
I took it as they got pushed right to the tipping point of having to stay at the office in order to meet their hours
Means simply that the circumstances/environment pushed you to work such amount that for get proper sleep you would need to sleep in the office temporally obviously is not like going to live there.
The sentence is simple forced would be if someone or something (like a door locked for example, not an alien xd) physically gave no other option other than sleep at sleep at the office.
If it says almost forced is understand es that was not forced but maybe required if you didn’t want to lose the job that day or simply was the only viable way to meet a deadline was sleeping there.
I mean I made this comment quite big for explaining it as simple as possible.
But is as simple as what almost means.
In this context is clear that means that circumstances strongly push you to take a decision like that.
Just watch the UA-cam video on the rollout of tne first iPhone. Those engineers worked crazy hours and divorces followed. So, folks needing to sleep in their offices to keep up with their twitter duties is nothing new. Guess it only depends on who owns the company, right?
Man this channel has absolutely exploded lately. Almost 4 million? Holy cow.. Good job man
I'm just here to laugh at all the fbi agents in the comments hating on musk exposing them
One of my friends said he went from Papa Elon to Musky Grandpa, I couldn't stop laughing
Just finished making breakfast. This should be good. Thanks Dagogo.
You say "it was claimed" -- how about "it was shown" since the disclosed Twitter corporate emails make said 'claims' unambiguously clear.
you know when someone introduces you to a person that is so wealthy that they live in a different reality, an entirely different sense of proportion, and after a minute or two they realise you are irrelevent in their universe?
Lovely to hear that you've been having a good time being creative and making music! I dig your political videos, but having a healthy outlet that gives you pleasure is pretty important too!
I invite you to Islam, it is the religion of all the prophets and it is the one that leads you to heaven. Finally, it is your decision so make your choice well 🌹🌷🌸
What if we let Twitter die? Imagine how many people would start to mentality mature and heal! We don't need Twitter! Just let it die
Kill it if you have to.
Kill it with fire!
Great content and video, as always, much appreciated Dagogo
Dude I love your videos but have to say you are sugar coating how bad the cess pool at Twitter is...
FYI the stock drop was not because of the tweet. Other similar companies had a similar drop that day
Yes. Microsoft is doing terrible right now and nothing in the media about that!
Tbf, if a product suddenly became free and readily available why would you purchase it at a premium from another company? If the tweet came out before the dip I could see it affecting the entire industry.
@@philipramirez5406 Twitter doesnt force u to pay for it. It's ur choice and all the features are still available as a free user. So it won't affect the overall industry. It's not like EA where it's pay to win.
@@TheCoolOwen because Bill Gates said all the talking points they want to hear
It was likely influenced by EM selling 20 billion dollars worth of TSLA stock.
"In February of 2023, it was also announced..."
I knew it! Australia is in the FUTURE!!! 🤯
You mean the country that locked people up for their Covid violation?
was an early twitter user, almost from day one but stopped using it once I saw the damage being done by Trump and the like. Wouldn't own a Tesla if you paid me.
Imagine criticizing Elon while the guy is making Twitter the most successful (financially) social media company in the world 🤦🏻♂️
Just like Snowden, everyone heard the story, saw the proof, and buried their heads in the sand yet again. We deserve everything that happens to us for doing nothing at this point.
The amount of Elon fanboys in this comment section laughably comparing a multimillionaire born into apartheid diamond mine wealth with a silver spoon in his mouth to fucking Ed Snowden is hilarious. Please actually educate yourself on the risks Snowden took to release the information he did, because newsflash, comparing diaperboy Elon to him is a joke and only goes to show how deep the billionaire celebrity worship goes with psuedointellectual Westerners.
Some people are young and don't know any better, will grow up in a controlled world (similar to how it is now) and it wont be their fault
I disagree with what we deserve , based on the level of power inequality. Individually we are powerless in this scenario. In a group we would be treated as terrorists . Even if we were allowed to protest freely as protected speech, it's only speech and doesn't slow down power in the slightest. Best wishes though.
@@drjswizzle8235 You're right. I'm being black pilled and defeatist because of said power inequality. But what is to be said when someone who is capable of revealing the truth does so and instead of rallying behind it the public throws stones in their direction?
Nice to see the updates integrated into the video. Good work.
The music is so good isnt it
If the work force doesn't have your back or doesn't believe you or want you. Why wouldn't you fire them all I'd they're just going to stab you in the back
@@EternalResonance Firing top employees is never a good thing. They will get picked up by the competition.
A friend of mine has a son who buys social media ads for his company. He was telling me that they’ve stopped buying Twitter ads not because of political bantering but because of porn. I said “porn?, there’s no porn on Twitter”. He responded, “try searching #sex on Twitter and see what you get”. Oh my god, I can now see how a publicly traded company would be very concerned about being associated with the website.
This should be renamed to twenty minutes of no new information about Twitter.
But I guess that's not newsworthy right?
0:25 "Insane hours"?? You mean the 40 hour work week that almost every American is expected to perform? If that's too much for a person to handle...I think the problem lies with laziness and the unwillingness to actually work.
Twitter remind me of a news paper that you can react with.
We need to bring global awareness to the true scope of social media manipulation.
big companies should be jailed for spreading propaganda behind an agenda from personal views.
Disney is crashing right now i hope they really crash hard, they and many other dont deserve the attention of masses like they do.
Yawn
we did already a decade ago. nobody did anything.
I actually agree with both of you. For us it's old news, but new users in developing countries need to know.
The TRUE scope is that social media has altered the course of Western civilization through lies and manipulation. "Yawn" indeed.
I think the biggest missed thing with the Wechat comparison, is that the Chinese Citizens dont have a choice to go anywhere else
They use Wechat because there isnt alternatives
Good job on mentioning the stock down by 70% while mentioning macroeconomics, many clickbait coverage on all the tech companies really enjoy neglecting to mention this fact, next small improvement would be to distinguish between an individual's networth going down versus "losing money" when the stock market moves, as most of these billionaires' networth are tied to their companies, they don't lose money the same way they never truly gained money when their networth went up (unless they sell, which rarely happens, and when they do it's generally public knowledge by law). I don't expect other channels to make this point but given your track record of trying to be as accurate and fair as possible, it's a good outlet to educate the viewers about these fine nuances.
I didn‘t even know he said he would be able to quadruple revenue by 2028. That‘s some on-brand promise à la humans on mars this decade, Tesla Roadster or Cyber Truck lol
Same modus operandi, same BS... And the same idiots swallowing it all hook, line, sinker and stonks.
He's the great scammer and there is a sucker born every minute.
Tesla Roadster was produce 2008 to 12 2nd gen due in 2023 .. Cyber Truck due also in 2023 ... SpaceX NOW has landed real people on the international space station and with Starlink is a vital component of the Wests Ukraine war effort, so why lol about Mars it was not promised yet .. you can Hate Musk but thinking his companies don't deliver is asinine, the world in case you have not noticed has been hit by Covid and Russia/ Ukraine war lots of stuff got thrown of track as supply chains imploded.
hyper hype is the name of the game in this day n age with the help of an army of social media influencers of cos
@@bananaempijama Except that great scammers don't usually lose money, let alone losing 200bn. He's a scammer alright, but great?
If you earned a million a day, including weekends, it would take you over 120 years to earn enough to buy twitter
plus you'll have to keep pouring money in to keep it going. twitter is not worth that much
@@willi1978 considering it would maybe only take about 100k to make it, or free if you know how to full-stack, then yeah lol
what a waste of 120 years. if you could buy Tesla stock every week throughout those 120 years, you would be in a better position to buy something as big.
@fizzinsode then why dont people make one? Because acquiring user is the main component of social media.
Elon leaking the twitter files alone makes me respect him.
0:59 wait is this piece of paper legit? No way!!! 😂😂😂
honestly, get payed a boat load to leave Twitter, move to a company that will give you the hours you would like and the environment you desire, and still get payed a lot because you can show you have the expertise to work at Twitter, so you’d do well at the new company-sounds like they weren’t wrong for taking the severance packages
Yeah, leaving Twitter basically would mean you didn't want to work hard or just had no value to the company. I doubt a new company would be too excited about such employee.
Have you seen the "One day in the life of twitter employee" video? I doubt any company wants individuals like that.
@@AlexanderMichelson did conduct twitter hr audit or something?
@@alex_lll I don't know what you mean.
@@AlexanderMichelson However staying even when harsh conditions are imposed might imply that you have no other option.
I just love that what could have been a multi year slow fall of twitter, yet musk is speed running to see if he can get that down to a couple months.
It's honestly the best way, and he's always used this method. Fail fast and improve fast. If it doesn't work out, better to find out ASAP and move to something that will.
@@Ehralur Just stop. Elon is a selected oligarch who's true clown like capabilities are now being exposed.
@@Ehralur hide your fanboy
@@DF-et4gs I'm and entrepreneur. I'd be a fool not to be a fan of Musk's methods.
@@DF-et4gs Elon is successful for a reason, you'd be an idiot not to take a few lessons out of his book
I'm no genius nor economic savant but when I first started hearing about Elon buying and running Twitter I knew it was going to be a stupid move for some and an unfortunate move for the rest. Great video as always you continue to put out the best content, always thoughtful, rarely judgemental, and extremely relevant.
Except it wasn't. The service is now usable by everyone. All I wish is that instead of firing 80% of his useless staff, he would've instead went for 98%.
Unfortunately Elon did not factor in that Twitter had been being used by countries that needed it for communication. Many of those people don't have 8.00 a month. He just doesn't care about the bigger picture. Shoving the poor to the back and not giving them the same rights on Twitter is NOT FREEDOM of speech. At least before they only banned violent overly aggressive people.
@@JessieJane. But you don't need to pay to use it. It's completely usable for free, there are no inherent advantages to your social reach if you pay. What are you talking about?
@@endlessstrata6988 sure you can use it at the back of the tweets that with trolls and bots as Elon said or set it up to work like that. As soon as he took over I lost my followers , it is obvious he doesn't believe in freedom of speech. He's anti liberal. He lies to everyone recently saying Twitter was liberal but never mentioned that they completely were aware of all the hate speech coming from Trump and anyone planning Jan 6 stop the steal insurrection . Twitter told everyone to let it go and refused to report or try to stop the coup. The FBI had people working with Twitter so either The FBI is pro insurrection or TWITTER hid it? Now the new owner that I know is lying by saying that BIDEN was protected when he had nothing to protect.its Elons new confusion game he likes to play between the left and right while he sits in his power position. Our republicans have sided with Elon and Putin because they all get paid by him and Saudi Arabia. Right now Trump's outdoor golf is owned by Saudi Arabia and pays millions and millions to him constantly. They pay our pro golfers more moneythan we do. So He's running for office paid by the Saudis and his family got 2 billion from them. Don't forget who helped Elon buy Twitter. Our friends the Saudis that Murdered our journalist and never had to worry when if you pay the right people it's ok according to what I'm seeing. I wish it was t like this but it's working out this way.Elon is showing the anti Democracy people their home is on Twitter and if you challenge his beliefs he bans you. That is so much worse than Twitter banning people for starting hate groups,coups lying about the election, anti semitism, Things that could change the country or hurt people
@@endlessstrata6988 correct. If twitter fails it will only be because of bankruptcy and Elon not wanting to pour more money into a company that's been in the red for the last 8 years out of 10. Twitter won't be failing for technical reasons and staff layoffs. I have a feeling it would still run the same way (if not better) with only 5% of the original staff (pre musk).
For the same amount of money Musk could have made a copy of Twitter with all functionality he wants and people would have used it just because it was backed by him.
This was so bias, saddens me to see the channel start to fall.
Keep a close watch Dagogo. Thank you. You the best.
I was amazed to watch J Aubrey’s video on Elon and learn the man is and always has been a conman. Like - he’s never actually had any personal success, he’s just been ruthless and very comfortable lying all his life.
$100k is wildly underestimating the all-in cost of an average engineer. Given they’re mostly SV based id be shocked if most engineers at twitter were were sub-$200k at base, and benefits and other costs would likely push them north of $250k
I think this saga and Facebook becoming Meta will be remembered as the beginning of the end of the social media era.
Not to say social media is going away, but as younger generations start utilizing online platforms, they'll see the inherent issues with the old guard of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. and demand something better *without* all the baggage these companies bring.
I think by the time gen-z will be of parenting age, there will be a mass anti-tech, or, rather, anti-social-media movement.
I hope that happens, social media is a cancer on society
I'm excited to see the development of web 3.0 concepts and services. I think there's a lot of potential there.
@@flytrapYTP Yeah, we've already reached such systemic rot that people are pulling their kids out of school because those institutions too have become infected.

I m confused, or maybe I m dumb
Isn't twitter just running fine with less staff?
It's just, ideas which is killing twitter, not less employees
How come twitter was in a loss for over 8 years, if employees were keeping the company alive?
"who would have thought* "
@@nimish2073 bad ideas where over half the company leaves is slightly different than just firing people to reduce overhead costs.
@@nimish2073 it's not running fine, actually. Bots are rampant, the website is slower, features randomly break, comments randomly shadowbanned
The only thing working for Elon is his hair transplant.
Love the music, love the vids. You’re very hardworking
Twitter will go bancrupt, Tesla is in danger. Elon has made his money for the rest of his life. My condolences to the shareholders.
Thank you for being fair and balanced with regards to the Left-Right issue. It's a very rare thing in today's era of hysteria and hyperbole ✌️ also, hello fellow Perthite! 👋
Be very wary of anything that continues to push or encourage a left v right duality. If you are left v right or vica versa they have got you right where they want you.
Define "they"
@@c.n.crowther438 "They". The rich, powerful elite running the world. People like Musk. People in charge at social media giants live off of conflict.
@@c.n.crowther438 sure “they” is the power structure that defines and shapes left or right. If you want to know about who and what organizations and companies makes up that power structure then you ll need to follow the money starting with donors to both political parties and then continuing up the chain to the banks and hedge funds that have a hand and ownership in almost all major Fortune 500 companies. “The Memory hole” here on UA-cam has a great video on who can be said to make up “they” from a former CIA agent and decorated Vietnam veteran by the name of David stockwell.

your comment is so meta, i love it tnx
Nope. ChatGPT says "It is not possible to provide an exact number of people it takes to run Twitter as the company's workforce is constantly evolving. However, as of 2021, Twitter had over 4,000 employees worldwide. Additionally, there are also third-party contractors and developers who contribute to the platform.

He's currently setting up a Pyramid Scheme i.e. Twitter Blue users "can earn revenue" from the ad sense on their tweets
Please! Insane hours? It's a part of having a very well compensated job, for most people. $100K is a very low starting salary - experienced software engineers exceed $250k. Some, like the old Twitter employees who were very highly compensated, but also very unnecessary to running the company. The patients were running the asylum. I worked for 30 years in software development and maintenance. Worked some long hours and sometimes glided along when the demand was slack. I was always there to work the insane hours when required though.
A lot of critical context ignored here, and some inaccuracies (there's more like 400,000 verified users, not 400 million)
*** many inaccuracies
Corrected that for you.
Elon thinks he can solve all the problems in every industry and that's how he got into this big mess right now. Because of Twitter, he is unable to fully focus on Tesla, Spacex, Starklink etc.
True. But what he exposed, all the gaslighting against the public, has been worth it. Massive corruption. I appreciate him for that.
@@JRay2113 am wondering why that major point appears to be missed.
He has also chosen political sides and making progressively more "Trump like" stupid statements, its not going to help with 50% of the population
He never invented anything, never founded anything, he is a rich kid, always been rich all his life, never had to work hard to survive. He did not solve anything, anywhere. Others did, and he bought and paid those companies and people. He is not an engineer, not a scientist, and his visions are copied, e.g. the hyperloop or electric cars or self-driving, none of those are his ideas.
It's been surreal to watch this Twitter drama unfold on Twitter.
lesson? don't play poker with a multi billionaire
Imagine spending $40b on a platform just so you can ban people who make fun of you.
Now if only YT could kick out the crypto bots...
Financial market traders will never let twitter die. It’ll always be around.
Very interesting to see the difference between new and top comments
Elon made it on coldfusion. This does not bode well for him .
