Basically this - when threads go off topic and get reported then it gets dealt with. I've allowed the posts to stay because there was some context to twitter, I'm just trying to prevent a segue without being heavy handed.

@montymint how is Tesla off topic? Its been discussed numerous times in this thread?
I can't see anything about civil arrest in the news?
Only thing related is a tweet on twitter moaning about it?

Who would have predicted that advertiser's would flee in their droves?
Oh yeah, most people!

Oh no there's plenty of top advertisers coming on board
Boner pill ads always a sign you are on a reputable high quality web site
I remember when you actively fought to not be the site or service that relied on drugs, gambling and generic Cialis adverts for funding.
IIRC they're also usually some of the worst paying and most likely to be dodgy, and require the most care in how and where you allow them to be shown, especially in the US where the laws vary by state.
They're also the sort of adverts that drive away even more of the better paying, safer advertising companies.

I remember post after post after post of dowie blaming the activists
My Pillow will be next, and trump trading cards.
now the CEO will be off the the big advertisers, the likes of BMW, and asking them to come back and then telling them that they will be also be advertiser viagra pills.
at first i was shocked to see it was only 60% decrease in advertising revenue, but then i realised it's being propped up by those weed and gambling sites. i wonder how much lower the true number is of the decent advertisers that have gone.
Imagine to be a fresh out of uni tech person, ready to get started in a blue chip tech company. Do you think any of them are dreaming of twitter right now? I don't think so. The best will surely go else where.

What makes me laugh is when sites like YT have a head fit about firearms content and related advertising concerns... often in the name of protecting people "firearms destroy families" and stuff like that - but are (or were) quite happy to ram any amount of stuff like gambling ads down the viewer's throat with little responsibility.
Because that's how the internet has functioned for most of it's life and regardless of certain persons hoping for some big uptake of subscriptions even YouTube can't get more than a thimble through the door with their premium service. To add subscriptions to a service that millions of people had for free for no added benefit is an upsell only zealots could stomach.
YouTube could significantly up paid subscribers, though whether at a cost which would be profitable I dunno. They just don't have an appealing offering for the money or the right price point for the average consumer.
For £11.99/m you'd at least expect built in search features more advanced than what looks like the product of someone learning to program in 1995... and having to hold back what should be basic features just to have some perk points for premium is hysterical and sad.

I hate how much gambling advertising there is on UK TV. Its a drug that destroys people but they keep ramming it down their throats.

We all have our crosses to bear, I hate all the multiculturalism on TV and in the media that surreptitiously destroys a nations identity. But they keep ramming it down people's throats.
At least with the advertisers leaving Twitter I can research those that want to dissasociate themselves on a political basis and in turn avoid their products.

You going for gold simp of the year or something?
That's the funniest thing Chris. Thanks for that. If there was ever any doubt about your character, it's cleared right up.

No, because of WHY they deemed such a platform unsuitable for advertising their services or products. Nothing to do with the personality of Musk, all to do with the political and idealogical alignment of some ex, or claimed to be forthcoming ex, advertisers.
Like many condemn The Daily Mail, or The Sun or The Daily Express for their political alignment or whatever <insert perceived bias>, I condemn some advertisers for theirs and buy accordingly.
