You got my number on that one. And you’re right about them being cut from the same cloth and part of a bigger problem. I suppose Musk annoys me more because he’s louder.
I can’t argue against being ethical in media consumption being a waste of time in the sense that the tiny percentage of us that choose to boycott any given platform make no difference. But I think having ideals and following them is worthwhile and I will continue to do so.
But I was also sincere in my statement that I don’t think you (or anyone) has to share that concern. Those are my ideals. They don’t have to be yours and I don’t expect that of anyone.
While I know this thread isn’t really for me, since I don’t have a twitter and never have, admittedly I am still exposed to and click on tweets way more often then I’d like. But ultimately, as odious as I find Musk (pun intended), there isn’t really anything he can do that would stop me from laughing at a tweet or whatever. So while you are right that I don’t “have” to, the reality is that with the network effect dictating where I or my friends find those funny tweets, I don’t really have a choice. And besides, every time someone shares a tweet it is literally costing Elon money.
