    "But Twitter's ad staff thinks that advertisers might still be spooked by shifting Twitter policies leading to more controversial content, like pornography and hate speech, as well as more controversial ads promoting things like gambling and marijuana"

    This seems particularly disingenuous especially considering the Instagram revelations revealed in the WSJ this week.

    Oh no not gambling and marijuana as I drive past the casino and weed store on my way home. What other heinous degeneracy could Twitter devolve into next, maybe unfiltered cigarettes and cheap beer.

    How conveniently melodramatic.

    “Twitter is going to collapse any day now” articles are the climate terror equivalent of the digital world.

    I wonder how many people have become desensitized to this content.
