This just sounds like a desperate attempt to try and turn a profit before Twitter/X finally shits the bed cuz it ran out of money

“Eat it”

-advertisers, probably

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The mainstream ones yeah. But that void will get filled with shady advertisers. It's gonna look like the daily mail on there lol

[–] aStonedSanta@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Yeah it’s gonna be all scams. Quickest way to ruin an internet website is fill it with scams lol

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

The only thing that's being "verified" is the credit card number.

What the fuck is this X thing? Sounds like a shitty version of Twitter, like the one that Trump is always ranting on.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It literally is twitter. It re-branded this week.

[–] KuchiKopi@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But Twitter is one of the best known brands on the internet. It would be mind-bogglingly stupid to just throw that away.

[–] MammyWhammy@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

It's comically stupid

[–] db2@lemmy.one 13 points 2 years ago

X.. Elon.. X Elon.. XElon.. XYlon.. I figured it out guys, he's an evil robot whose creator forgot the I part of AI.

[–] housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com 9 points 2 years ago

Why do I have the feeling that this is going to go over like a lead balloon?

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Need some sarcastic quotes around "X".

[–] mecha_pope@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah, gotta figure something out. Can't really do the sarcastic UpPeR cAsE lOWeR cAsE thing with a single letter.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Advertise to who exactly?! It's a barren wasteland there now.

What's the purpose of the megathread? I'm so confused what's going on with this community...
