The definition of mob is a large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence.

Hounding is to harass, persecute, or pursue relentlessly.

please point me to the mobs hounding advertisers or some evidence of. I wouldn't class a couple of workshops as a mob hounding advertisers.

So why were you going on about twitter HQ?

Yes all those furious mobs everywhere, looking at a couple of current Twitter advertisers HQs in NYC right now and it's a sea of green and purple haired androgynous they thems

It seems you're applying some double standards too - you're free with figures of speech in your later description above but simultaneously want to autistically interpret my use and then get it wrong anyway and imagine a mob at Twitter HQ.

I didn't say Twitter HQ, I said twitters advertisers HQs as that who they would be hounding. Probably poor wording on my part there.

I'll try again without being autistic

Twitter still has advertisers so some are clearly ignoring the activists which according to you would have seen them cancelled by the "mob" but I haven't seen any strong cancel campaigns against them so I don't think the lower ad spend can be attributed to activist work

Also this is against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, marketing budgets have been slashed across the board so Twitter was competing for a smaller portion of the pie as well so it's a not a surprise the ad spend is down massively.

Which is also why several other companies that rely on ad revenue have been shedding staff but obviously in much lower proportion to Twitter. It's not just a Twitter issue but Twitter right now is the clear choice when your looking to cut ad spending
