Q: If they know who an “authentic user” is, why don’t they simply not show ads to them?

A: They knowingly show ads to users who aren’t “authentic” thereby willfully defrauding the advertisers.

Here's 38 straight minutes of CEO Linda squirming, explaining how 2 + 2 = 5, and ad and user numbers are just great, thank you very much, and feeling uncomfortable about the surprise guest right before her, Yoel Roth, former Head of Trust and Safety at Twitter.

Linda is such a pathetic meat puppet.

How sad to need those millions of dollars so badly.

#X traffic and monthly active users are in decline

Despite proclamations from X CEO Linda that usage of the social network was at an all-time high this summer, a new report is throwing cold water

"Although the U.S. accounts for roughly a quarter of X’s web traffic, other countries also saw declines in web traffic, including the U.K. (-11.6%), France (-13.4%), Germany (-17.9%) and Australia (-17.5%)."

X MARKS THE FLOP

X CEO Abandons WSJ Tech Conference Following Disastrous Appearance at Code

After a poorly received interview at Code Conference less than two weeks ago, Linda Yaccarino is taking a break from live speaking engagements.

That interview is something.

From what sounded like a small small cheers squad for through, " X is a new company building a foundation based on freedom of expression and freedom of speech", and " was ... creeping down the road of censorship. It's a new day ... ".

Study to see saying their droppings don't stink.

We'll be hearing a lot more of this as climate change continues to be excused by govs and corporations.

One thing I think is hampering a lot of effort in weeding out conservative BS is the US ’s self-congratulatory smugness. 🤨

I’ve been hearing so many people laughing about Linda ’s disastorous at Code. Yeah, she was really caught pants down a couple of times there.

But does it matter? In my opinion, no. What mattered was that she was very succesful in painting a picture of media was villain, Elon Musk the hero.

U rly think your smugness isnt playing against you?

As the company formerly known as Twitter unmasks itself under Elon Musk as "a wholly antisemitic entity," "a magnet for every Jew-hater in the world," and
"place they can call home" and "safe space" for antisemites, Claire Berlinski asks Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X,

"Do you really want to be associated with the most vile public outpouring of antisemitism in American history?"

"Linda Yaccarino celebrates her first public victory as X CEO by reviving an advertising council Elon Musk disbanded"

When you have no accomplishments in a new job, anything will look like a victory.

You know what? I think it won't be a victory, but I'm ready to be proved wrong. Calling this a victory now, however, is quite premature.

So far I've been proved right that Yaccarino has made no difference to the way Twitter is run. It was a dumpster fire before her, and it still is.

"By all objective metrics X is a much healthier and safer platform than it was a year ago."
-Linda Yaccarino, CEO of the Company Formerly Known as Twitter

She didn't even crack a hint of a smile. Just... said this like it was real.

Babe, I hope you are getting your pay upfront for this gig because it might be hard to find work after telling lies like this with a dead-serious face.

Twitter CEO: We're almost at break-even!

Yeah, Ms. Yaccarino, that's kinda easy to do when

  • You don't pay rent on your office space
  • You don't pay $500 million in severance owed to fired employees
  • You don't account for future liability from employee mass layoffs and violating the WARN Act
  • and other shady business practices

Pet peeve: I don’t like when media outlets do this. CNBC KNOWINGLY messaged a defunct email address at Twitter that they KNOW is programmed to respond with this emoji (and has been for 8 months).

Just email Musk directly for comment. We all have his contact info. It’s such a farce to email a dead email acct you KNOW will return this emoji then act like it’s some sacrilege and write it up in this way.

Who are these people (from NBCUniversal) that look at current state of and the type of filth that is increasingly elevating over there and say "yeah, I want to be part of that. I am excited to help build Twitter 2.0"?

I guess it makes sense since we have already seen shades of Linda 's bigotry.

Figures that Linda would bring other like-minded colleagues over.

Musk appoints ad exec Yaccarino as new Twitter CEO. // Since Musk will still head everything related to product per se, this is clearly a desperate attempt to win back advertisers to his continuing hellscape. - https://www.gearrice.com/update/elon-musk-is-going-to-make-this-woman-twitter-ceo-know-4-facts-about-linda-yaccarino/

adamjcook,

@lauren really seems to subscribe to Musk’s political beliefs… including some deeply conspiratorial/harmful ones.

I think that, in combination with almost certainly not going to relinquish “editorial control” of a platform that serves as his Pravda (a long sought Musk goal), is going to still be a hard sell to advertisers.

We shall see.

adamjcook,

@kkeller @ike @lauren I am somewhat “surprised” by that, frankly.

fits right into that group by endorsing harmful conspiracies and being basically a clone of politically.

Yes, Yaccarino chairs a WEF group, but Musk’s cadre is certainly capable of inventing a conspiracy such that Yaccarino is an agent, working for them, to take down the WEF from the inside.

Of course, on the other hand, there is the misogyny within Musk’s cadre and inside Musk himself…
