The thing with "content creators" (besides the obvious) is that they can go to any platform they want. They aren't out of business. This is the way the internet works. Something starts sucking, or get shut down, people move.


How many people are still on Xitter? 12? 15? Anyone with a functioning pre-frontal cortex has gone elsewhere, I'd imagine they'll find a new home soon too. It absolutely shouldn't be a consideration in the discussions. We don't need to go around pretending one specific techno-robber baron is essential to our way of life. We'll be just fine without them.

TikTok gets way too much attention for what it is. A buddy of mine got into it so I tried it out for a couple days...it's dumb even for social media standards. Ever watch "news feeds" on there? Good lord... I don't even mean this as a dig, it literally seems like it's meant for teenagers only.

I deleted it within 48 hours, and I'm one of those dummies still on Twitter (the live sports takes are just too good, all the big sports reporters are still on there).

Some of us 30+ people might think TikTok is stupid, but if people are able to make money on it broadcasting whatever it is they’re doing, I don’t see it differently than a TV station.

It’s like people who crap on “podcasts” in general. You mean RADIO? Doesn’t matter which ones are popular or not or why or what their titles are or who’s hosting them. They are and people are there watching. You either utilize them or you don’t.

We underestimate the difficulty in moving states and countries. I think it’s darn hard, depending on one’s personal situation, family, job.

It’ll be shut down by this administration then Trump will reverse it because that will benefit him.

It will be forced to be sold though to a US based company for the US operations.

Ya, that's why these things are so cruel. You know, like Jesus preached.

Yup. Way too much influence at stake to let it go.
This is why people like Elon will be trying to aquire it. Controlling the minds of young people is one of the greatest assets possible.

Reading about MAGAts complaining they’ve dropped $5,000+ for travel to the inauguration and now they can’t see it except on television. Oops!

So if I understand this correctly - Trump "creates" a cryptocurrency that soars in value because of his position of power to the tune of billions of dollars and this is the new normal. A means of directly enriching the most powerful office in the world.

Also who thinks that this is what Trump looks like?



when an actual image of him look like the decrepit soon to be octogenarian that he is
