Roles are made redundant, not people. Companies can lay off entire chunks of the org, but they still need to hire in growth areas.
The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

I wouldn't mind a black list too, on ublockO, to have any embed tweets/purile jokes from Musk ignored,
perhaps reintroduce ability to dislike such tweets, as regretted time - w/o that can ironically/subversively use like.
If Musk tweets attract the least renumerative ads , shouldn't he ban himself.

Incoming Jovial post that isn't to be taken too seriously...
Where's that gif of a thousand facepalms when you need it.
Roar literally called Vincent angry for making a Jovial post, and then told Vincent, the person who just made a Jovial post, to not take himself too seriously!

Never seen a thread where one poster so willingly humiliates themselves on a daily basis, it’s quite remarkable.

Calling people having fun immature looool
Haters be like: He doesn't have a pride flag as his background and he's making immature jokes
Nice BBC.

But Facebook is also laying off a load of staff?
I'm amazed a poster can bend over backwards to, as imtoooldforthis says, humiliate themselves this much for a billionaire. Have you no self respect man?
The BBC didn't cite any sources for users being disenchanted though, they simply made a statement without any evidence. Are users also disenchanted with Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Youtube? Unclear.

Don't ever change @Roar87.
Not likely is it?
You've shown a frankly outstanding imperviousness to evidence\new information so no, not really.
Commissario
The source for the users being disenchanted is the response those users have had.
The BBC also doesn't give a source for saying it's raining, when you can see people walking past the reporters getting soaked by water falling from the sky.
You only have to spend a few minutes on twitter, or look at the non paid for accounts under Musk's posts to start to see that a lot of users on twitter are quite unhappy, and they're often quite clear why they're unhappy.
You only have to follow a few of the "big" names on twitter to see that users with millions of followers are very unhappy with Musks changes and the way twitter is going, as are many of their followers.
Also what source would you accept for Twitters users being unhappy? I mean it's pretty glaringly obvious that a lot of twitters users are very unhappy with what musk has done and is doing, and you seem to discount any source that tries to point out problems with twitter now as being "biased" or "hating musk" or "not knowing what they're talking about".
Perhaps the BBC could do a study of social media users and rank their happiness with the platform, perhaps what they like and dislike about each one, and then they'd have something to reference. That would require some actual journalism though rather than reporting that Elon Musk is changing the colour of the tick someone has next to their profile.
Commissario
I don't even know at this point why I attempt to respond to you.
"the colour of the tick" yes, yes that was what upset people it was the colour of the tick changing...
Not that he removed verification and turned it into nothing more than a sign you had access to a working credit card number...not that he removed any way to prove that an account was actually what it perported to be, not that it had the instant and completely predictable result of huge numbers of scam and fake accounts pretending to various previously easily ID'd people and companies..
Yes it was all because he changed the colour of a tick...
Which you seem to have forgotten wasn't what he'd planned to do at all, the extra colours of tick came AFTER he'd messed up so badly that he had to make changes to try and fix the mess he'd made and thus you ended up with
Forced blue ticks - a number of accounts that used to be verified and now he's applied the "i'm a chump, I paid for this" status to them when they actively told him to get lost and refused to pay, but he realised he needed them (and their "endorsement")*
The "I'm a chump or a scammer, so paying for a tick is worthwhile" blue ticks.
The Silver "this is an institution or company I really can't afford to annoy" tick for the likes of some government officials.
etc etc.
He's now at what is it, 4 different ticks and most of them are utterly worthless as any sort of indicator that the account is real.
*I've seen a few of those who change their display name slightly daily to get rid of it, it usually does for a few hours.

Pah! Who do you believe, people answering an Ipsos poll or Elon?

He had that 5 minutes after finding out he shouldn't have ignored his lawyers on doing due diligence before signing a contract to buy Twitter for $44b
The BBC does give a source for it's weather. Because that's how news sources are meant to work, unless it's opinion piece and not factual of course.

I activated my Threads account today. Seems good so far, a lot less toxic comments.
