@AdContrarian Missing the key point: Ad industry is not entitled to your data! There was no trade here. Arguing this pays for content/services is BS. Traditional TV, print, radio made billions off contextual. Just because we could do it (and got away with it till now) doesn’t make it right!

@angryasian I got into CT / veloclub to support your work. Nerd Podcast was my entry point, then articles, then your Twitter. Then I started digging your colleagues. Can’t imagine your days / stress rn. For whatever it is worth, I’m in to support you wherever you are. Veloclub = James 2 me.

- got $100 million for his women’s fund
- got patents from China
- got $6.35 million in PPP loans
Oh wait, that was Jared & Ivanka.

In the 14 days you’ve been “chief twit” you’ve severely damaged @twitter, some think irrevocably. I hope that’s not true, but, increasingly, I fear it is. It’s clear that leading Twitter is not among your many talents. I would like to offer five suggestions: 🧵
I don’t know what to say tonight to the many wonderful, talented and dedicated people who worked to make @Twitter a special, unique uplifting culture and attracted the love and admiration of senior advertising industry leaders in the process. There will never be another Twitter.
1/ There is some pretty substantial context about Twitter's 2023 revenue and advertisers that I think partly help explains why Musk is really losing it...
And it involves upfront ad sales. Let me explain...
