Apple spent ~100 M per year on adds on twitter prior to the EM buyout.
There is no way in hell these grifters will do anything but talk big. The money will never come.
I love how some of the replies are about how “companies just want to control me”… Do you know what advertising is? What an empty complaint.
I'll take "Things That Aren't Financially Possible", for $400, Alex.
They’re conservatives, don’t ask them to math
Conservatism is a mental illness
This reminds me of those statistics that show the how the richest 10% have as much wealth as the other 90% (or whatever the exact numbers were).
And also those statistics that show how Apple is bigger than the entire economies of many countries.
Could be worse. They could be putting that money towards their own fediverse.
Right wing stooges are too dumb to contribute to open source projects. They steal the code and then let it languish.
