My favorite lemmy bubble is the smug woke ( idiot leftists, who think they are smart but aren't) who think Kamala lost because she didn't take a stance on Gaza and people abstained in protest and not because of sexism and racism.
That would be REALLY Corrupt if simply buying Ads on a Website was Enough to allow you to DIRECTLY INFLUENCE the President Of The United States! Fortunately Trump DIDNT put the Owner of X in charge of Important Oversight Decisions!
This is bending the knee
He'll get advertisers just as actual people leave.
IBM helping out the Nazis is pretty par for the course
When Hitler needed to track the unwanted in his concentration camps, IBM was there.
Today, Trump has selected IBM due to our experience in this field of Fascism.
FYI: while this is not true, I'm sure most Americans will believe it.
Still, “under $2,000” for a corporation of that size is a surprisingly low amount, compared to the others. Not even worth the negative publicity. Odd choice.
Ah, a history joke! Don't forget Coke(Fanta)! Also, the history of Volkswagon is pretty interesting.
The surprising part is, despite everything Henry Ford believed, I don't remember ever hearing Ford being on that list.

Oligarchs get cozy with oligarchs, what a shocker.
And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It's the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It's always about money.
It’s time to drop Disney+.
We finally dropped them after this bullshit. Also Loki S2 was bad.
Should have 5 years ago. Mostly cause fuck disney, but I get why you had it.
We've dropped it October 2023. Fuck them Zionist shits.
We just did. Only reason it took this long is because it auto-renewed this time last year for a year slightly ahead of when we thought it was gonna do that. Oops.
People aren't moving away from it. Of course they come back
“X’s owner now has the ear of the president-elect, a man who has a long history of helping his friends, and punishing his enemies,” said Max Willens, senior analyst, at Emarketer. “Sending at least a trickle of ad spending toward X may be seen as good for business, albeit in an indirect way.”
There's the article in a nutshell. Give Elmo money or face the wrath of the Diaper-in-Chief.
Terrorists win!
Nuh-uh! Americans can't be terrorists cuz Americans kill the terrorist, like Malcolm X and Jamal Khashoggi... Wait, are we the bad guys?
Always have been.
......wait, but I wasn't playing socom.....

Did anyone read the article? Besides the top 2, these amounts are paltry:
Data by MediaRadar showed that Comcast, which spent less than $1.5 million on X this year, was followed by Warner Bros. Discovery at $1.1 million, whose ads are supporting theatrical releases of movies, and Disney at under $550,000. Lionsgate spent less than $230,000, while IBM allocated under $2,000.
That's embarrassing.
Bending the knee
And lifting their a## up, so they are better accessible

Death to Comcast, Disney, and IBM.
I mean, that's been an accurate statement for decades.
When have Comcast, Disney, or IBM ever have been on the wrong side of history? /s
IBM itching to get involved with another genocide. They can track all the undesirables digitally much easier now!
With DB2? Ha! Don't make me laugh.
I dropped Xitter as soon as it became apparent that Elon was going to buy it and started pirating Disney (and everyone else) shortly after. Couldn't tell you the last time I bought anything IBM but I'll have to be more careful about it. I'm switching to a local fiber provider so I'm leaving comcast in a couple of weeks.
Is it bad that for a brief moment when you said you were switching to a local fiber provider, I thought you were talking about making sure you tdke healthy poops?
Haha. I'm working on that too. Finally starting to lose fat.

I almost can't blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.
A majority of American citizens who voted...that's an important distinction. Roughly 29% of voting age american citizens and 22% of all american citizens - a sizeable minority but a minority nonetheless - voted for fascism and racism.
Well the ones who didn't vote obviously weren't too bothered by fascism and racism either, apparently

This is beautiful! It's like a textbook example for everyone paying attention to draw crisp conclusions for how the system works.

Horrible timing. Millions are leaving and going to BlueSky.
ads are not allowed on Bluesky. that is the reason.
They can eat their shit
Of course they are they only care about money.
Maybe they dont want to fall out windows. Remember who people voted for.
