Also the day after he took over the use of the N word went up by over 500%, at which point because of the algorithms that Twitter use to target people for advertisers, this caused issue with said advertisers so there pulled their money. As an example I saw, someone had call someone chicken loving N word, advertising then shows up for chicken sandwiches and the like, which looks to anyone that these companies are condoning the use of said word, not really what companies want.

I suppose he might be now he owns it but he did renege on the deal he previously agreed in April - resulting in Twitter taking him to court in order to force the sale - before agreeeing to go through with it at the agreed pruce after all.

lobbypond Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 fRee sPeeCh guy got incredibly thin skin when people are taking the piss out of him. Who would have though. Last couple of weeks have been entertaining though, I can't lie. Tick subscription appears to have been put in the bin now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted November 14, 2022 Author Site Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2022 I don’t get what people are so fucked off about. He’s paid £44billion for it, if he wants to update the software so that every tweet is in swastikas and wingdings, then he can. Its just an app. Popular, but an app. Every cunt complaining is still using Twitter to complain, the thick wankers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place I was at was free breakfast, subsided food and free bar night on a Thursday. Plus stuff like big gym reductions, flu jabs, on site hairdressing, HIT classes etc It's all to keep you in the building and working. That's nothing compared to Google opposite, free food all the time, work after 7 free takeout, free snacks and drink and insite gym (new place has a pool and running track) It's these benefits that keep a lot of the younger staff on cheaper wages, working stupid hours, living in a rat box in the city and choosing one company over another. It's not just the free grub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
