      I give my brother shit because he’s far left progressive but still spends all day on Xitter. His excuse is that Xitter isnt making a profit so he’s hurting Musk a tiny bit every time he uses it…Yeah, I didnt buy it either.

        Forget profit, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that choosing to stay on twitter only legitimizes it.

        Have a counterargument to give him. He’s the product, and his service is giving fascist trolls someone to argue with, and fellow “leftists” someone to come to X to see. He’s encouraging other people to use the site, and they’re watching ads and buying checkmarks.

        Also he’s encouraging governments and politicians to stay, and letting the media be controlled by a fascist.

        It would be a lot less profitable if the site was only bots. He’s subsidizing the bots.
