Nah pretty much everyone was in agreement that the new logo was worse, what do you me-

a sample of 52,000 posts made on X

Ah yes, the defunct site that is mostly bots so that Muskrat can continue to earn ad revenue NaziBucks

similar conversations were happening on the alt-tech platforms like Donald Trump’s Truth Social, Twitter knock-offs Gettr and Gab

Ah yes, the sites that use amplification bots to keep their users riled up and strengthen the echo chamber

Right? I'm definitely not right wing in any way shape or form, but I enjoy Cracker Barrel and the atmosphere once in a while. The logo doesn't need to be updated to the bland bullshit modern marketers want to force just so they can make millions in bullshit consulting fees. There is no way in hell the new logo was better than the old one to represent the company, but someone got paid a ton of money to convince them that it was a good decision clearly without any market research to back it up. A blind idiot could tell that logo was a worse choice objectively without any politics involved.

Were there bots? Oh, for sure. But they weren't the reason for the backlash, the shit decision was the reason it was a thing at all.
