Reply to comment by Morat20 in Twitter faces legal complaint in Germany over anti-Semitic content by davetowers646

The funny part being that him doing that is contributing massively to the advertisers leaving in the first place.

He really has no idea what he's doing, and he cannot tolerate the idea that he made a mistake. So he just keeps doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on it

He's got a combination of "being in the news is good advertising, no matter why!" thinking combined with the usual hype man bullshit of "I can spin this/sell this".

Last time he tried to spin it to advertisers they were literally canceling ad buys on the call with him and he's actively gone downhill since.

It's desperate flailing.

He is abjectly refusing to listen to the companies that have ended advertising on Twitter when they tell him that "the content is the reason" and insists that it is only because of "activists" forcing them to stop advertising.

He also has not, despite this being the entire way social media and especially Twitter works, not figure out that Twitter's users are it's commodity and that the advertisers are Twitter's customers.

He's still literally trying to charge people for the privilege of making content he sells to advertisers.

That’s right. You monetize the content the platform generates not the platform

I wonder if he fails to comply would he even be allowed into Germany?
