Lol!

Advertisers are fucking stupid. They've forgotten the whole purpose of advertising.

No they haven't, they know what they're doing.

I know that they know what they're doing. I said that they were fucking idiots and have forgotten the purpose of advertising. They think they can boomer the population with commercial programming. It doesn't work any more. It's failing miserably.

They are down to openly trying to control the internet, now. It won't work.

Well, they wouldn't be advertising to make money because they print money, so I guess they just got sick of the nasty comments in their PR feeds

Elon's crying in his billions I'm sure.

He literally told them "fuck you" on a live show.

It certainly appeared, Sal, that "they" were conspiring to shut it down. Free speech sucks for some of the population. Maybe you support that hewbrewic bullshit. I don't.
