    Advertisers, unlike Reddit, often think about more than raw numbers. And so do the brands who hire those advertisers. Part of why Twitter is hemorrhaging cash is that a lot of brands really don’t want to see their logo displayed next to a giant swastika, even if it means people are seeing their ad.

      Sure, a swastika on your front page for months at a time is a bad look. When you give people a place to do “free” art and the draw something inappropriate it creates fast controversy and clicks and a good chance for them to rationalize all the shitty changes they have made recently.

        Wrong way around, the shitty changes rationalise the graffiti. Or are you oblivious to something called time, it creates this thing called a sequence of events. But you knew that because you’re disingenuous, not stupid, right?

          They aren’t going for time. They are going to run this fucker into the ground and make a ton of fast advertisement money doing it. Lots of people are going to make lots of money from this and all these people think they are winning because place says fuck spez a few times. But sure Ill be the dumb one.
