All these news about X going to shit feels like that gif of the truck driving towards the pole but constantly cutting before the impact
This one?
I watched two ads just to get rickrolled.
This comment made my Internet today. 🏆
Get Sync for Lemmy. Never get rickrolled again!
Sync is nice but I’m on ios. Currently using Avelon and it shows link previews, but only for the site.
It still shocks me every time I encounter people browsing the internet without an ad blocker. Just why?

Imagine getting Rick rolled by a fucking bot.
And somehow you’re scoring downvotes.
Are the bots offended and downvoting now?
How dare you. No, this one. (Really, though. It’s been a while and I wanted to see it again, happy to be of service.)

Exactly! That’s exactly how it feels!
Musk has continued to place his personal proclivity for right-wing content and influencers over brand – and really overall user – safety. For example, last month, Musk personally intervened to restore a right-wing influencer’s account after they were suspended for posting photos of child exploitation.
Tells you everything you need to know.
- Buy unprofitable application
- Make a series of incredibly shit business decisions
- It’s now less profitable than before.
- ???

- Profit
Hold on, maybe I’ve figured it out. Endless magical profits, here I come!
Step 4. Be ultra-wealthy. (Bonus for not paying taxes.) Step 5. Do anything. (Bonus for pretending it’s profitable.)

Can’t see any company, let alone something family friendly being remotely okay with any of this. Who wants to pay to be right next to Nazi content besides maybe MyPillow?
It’s amazing there are still so many brands and social media strategists who seem in denial about what’s happening even as they watch their customer engagement on Twitter/X evaporate before their very eyes.
shouldn’t have fired the brand safety team
I mean, in all reality, this could be why he fired the brand safety team. He’s had aspirations of burying himself with X for decades.
Yea see… they (corporations) prefer their money is made next to white supremacy less loudly. That’s all.
That’s why they just suspended ads, not terminated ad buying.
wow everything is a nazi now including hitler

Furthermore, one organization that had ads placed on this content claimed that it wasn’t an X advertiser at all. In a statement provided to CNN, University of Maryland’s associate athletic director told the outlet that Maryland Football hasn’t run a paid ad campaign on X since 2021.
Interesting snippet. It would be very interesting to know how and why that happened.
If a small portion of ads keep repeating, it’d show the shallow pool of advertisers left on the website.
That or there’s no one at the helm for advertising.
Either way, looks incredibly shabby.
Are there legal implications for this? Is X guilty of misrepresentation or any such related case.
No idea. It is a kind of defamation but I think you’d struggle to prove it. You could, however, get shedloads of free publicity by banging on about it for clickbait.
Is this news to anyone? Elon Musk is a literal Nazi. Every dollar going there supports fascism. I don’t get how you can have such a high profile person who is like “Hey, I’m a Nazi, and I sell Nazi shit!” and still be surprised.
I mean, I get that he’s a dick, but a nazi? Seriously?
Yes. The Nazis are back
What has he done or said that makes him a “nazi”, in your view?
He’s not a Nazi, just someone who allows Nazis on his website, reposts and agrees with their beliefs.
So, because he’s not actively censoring their views, that means he agrees with them?
Hmm.

The glory of instances. If enough people dont like it, they can just block it!
Then block the ukronazi instances, FFS.
User calls for far-right content to be removed whilst using far-right terminology. The cognitive dissonance must be excruciating.
It’s bizarre to see isn’t it? Trying to insult people by accusing them or being… you.
But they can’t see it. The entire depth of thought seems to be “Nazis are bad and I am good therefore I can’t be a Nazi”.
It doesn’t matter that their list of undesirables is virtually identical, or that their violent solutions are virtually identical, or that the guy standing next to them has a SS tattoo.
They don’t want to be a Nazi, so as far as they’re concerned, they’re not.
Word, ukronazi
And no one but Musk is the least bit surprised by the catastrophic failure of Twitter.
