Whats ironic is without twitter he's a 50 something thrice divorced former postman with nothing going for him. He incorporated catturd after he gained twitter notoriety and now has a podcast, and sells crap to republicans, gets interviewed by right wingers, etc. All because of being a right wing entitled, whiny little bitch on twitter

Exactly. If he doesn't want to be monetized, he can just stop posting. Why doesn't he, if he feels like he's being exploited?

At least "content creators" on YouTube and even Tik Tok get some kick back from their ads. If Twitter values his presence as a vehicle to sell ads, instead of paying for this blue check mark, they should be paying him.

This is also what makes no fucking sense about Elon's approach to Twitter.

He apparently had some crackpot idea about making it an influencer marketplace like YT or TikTok, but approached it from a nonsensical standpoint of making the creators PAY twitter, rather than have easy options for monetization.

Who is caturd? I’m not on twitter so I’m kinda out of this particular loop.

Wtf, he got a hand written note from Trump when he was in the hospital.

Dude is absolutely correct but missed the part about how he is in a codependent relationship with Twitter me Elmo

And how him "warning people about potential violence" was just him basically calling for violence against LGBTQ people

"They banned my account for warning for potential violence"

Let me guess, he tried to drum up right wing fears that the trans community was coming for everyone and Elon smacked him down with a 24 hour ban?

He think Elon cares that he paid for the account? That's cute when he probably was immediately celebrating watching Elon ban hundreds on the first week of paid blue checks. Now not so cute when it's him. Always GOP mindset, rules for thee, but not for me.

Exactly that, something about pushing a 'trans day of vengeance' story

Twitter is far from perfect, but it was pretty cool for a while. Fast access to info and communication in a new way was really neat.

I met one of my BFFs on Twitter.

I spent an evening DM’ing with Norm McDonald on Twitter.

I met one of my favorite celebrities IRL because of Twitter.

I won a contest from the creator of my favorite show through Twitter and got almost $300 of swag because of Twitter.

But holy shit, Musk has driven it into the ground.

The only reason I haven’t left completely is bc if they take TT, I still want access to that in the moment organizing and sharing of info that you can’t get the same way through Reddit. (And I stay away from Meta for the most part because fuck them.)

So I remain on Twitter, but I’m not paying for shit.

He doesn’t look like a cat turd. He looks more like something the cat caught and dropped at your feet.

Cat turd is pretty scummy anyway, also inconsistent as fuck.

Ok I didn't know who this was and was confused because I thought he made a very valid point about advertisers and didn't get why people where hating. I was missing the important context of this dude being a right wing shitheel

Minus the followers, this is basically how I feel about Reddit too
