The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

[Freakbro]

As with anything in life... If you don't like him/it/the website/app... Just don't read into anything about him/don't use the app/website?

That's not how anything in life works though?

Reminds me of the quote from Private Parts, the film about Howard Stern

• Researcher: The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes.
• Pig Vomit: How can that be?
• Researcher: Answer most commonly given? "I want to see what he'll say next."
• Pig Vomit: Okay, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern?
• Researcher: Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day.
• Pig Vomit: But... if they hate him, why do they listen?
• Researcher: Most common answer? "I want to see what he'll say next

I couldn't give a toss about any of it nor do I use social media let alone celeb following junk like twitter

There's your mistake then, you are projecting your feelings about the subject and how you act on to others. For the record I don't use twitter or any social media, except this forum, doesn't mean I don't have an interest in things going on.

Everyone seems to be kicking off as if they own the website/had a part in it, and are now so entitled to moan? Pathetic!
I don't get the mentality on moaning about nonsense like this daily for 700+ pages, seems a lot of people have far too much time to kill? It's very sad really

No sadder than being a train spotter, stamp collector or the million of other activities other people do that you don't understand *shrug*

Musk is facing huge pushback against the block removal policy. Turns out even the right wing 'free speech warrior' nutbags are very keen on blocking people.

So, how does Elon feel about the block feature today?

...ah.

He's a total head case. I blocked him on Twitter soon after he bought it so I didn't see the tripe he was posting.

Wouldn't surprise me if that gets undone and he makes himself unblockable at some point though...

I blame myself for the proposed changes.

You'd think that would be a reasonable stance to take, however if that were the case this thread wouldn't be on 14k posts, with 12k of them being by people who dislike Elon Musk

A person they've never met (nor ever will) nor actually know based on media sold for shock value to moan about on social media/online/in person... How sad.

 

[Removed User 345456]

there's only one thing worse than someone who can't stop adoring and simping for musk, and that is the users who peridocally post stuff like this.

maybe actually what is worse is users who moan about the time/day someone posts. it's a tough call.

I think you mean "periodically" sweetheart. The fact you use terminology like 'simping' says it all though...

How is me laughing at the sad people wasting their time arguing in this thread worse than the fact it exists or their fake opinion on someone they've never met? Ha and you think I'm worse?

It is pretty pathetic though, no? That this has 715 pages now arguing about a bloke they've never met nor ever will, as if a uk pc forum's opinion really matters to someone like Musk? Let alone the fact he'll never read any of this? Waste of time much? This is a PC forum?

It definitely IS sadder than an actual hobby, the fact you're even comparing this playground bs to a hobby is laughable, if you honestly think acting like a kid in a playground on a forum arguing about someone you've never met nor know anything from first hand experience about constitutes as a hobby then you really need to turn the pc off and experience life and get real friends mate. That is pitiful!

Imagine thinking you can't build up an opinion of someone based on multiple years worth of their social media posting.

So we can't make assumptions about Musk based on his thousands of social media posts because we've never met him but you can make assumptions about everyone in this thread based on their posts on the forum even though you've never met them.

Is that right ?

Real big brain stuff

Did you REALLY just say that. So it's true because you've red something someones written online? Hahaha I can't breathe

Are you really that thick/easily led? Do you buy everything you see in adverts and believe their properties too? Are you even an adult?

How am I making assumptions? I just said I find it hilarious this thread exists based on people arguing about something they didn't create/a person they don't know and acting all self entitled. It's pathetic. Simples. Get a life. The end.

You've just contradicted yourself...
You said you make opinions on people based on what you read online on their social media, now you're saying that doesn't apply to forums and only when you specify it? wtf hahaha

Wooooooosh

 

[Removed User 345456]

It's hardly an assumption if it's literally fact that none of you own twitter/know Elon.

It's just sad you're even participating in arguing about him/a website you didn't create/own and yet have such entitlement like some spoilt woke child

And yet here you are.

 

[Removed User 345456]

Wooooooosh

I didn't say I was making an opinion claiming to know you. I just said what people are doing in general is pathetic in terms of this thread and it's topic.

And yet here you are.

And so are you...
Yeah I'm laughing at you mugs for even arguing and copy and pasting/stalking all his tweets and asking why the thread even exists? I saw it in the 'new posts' and thought wtf why is this 714 pages long (at the time) why are these people furiously arguing about something they didn't create/own/person they don't know...

Most of it is stupid posts like this.

 

[Removed User 345456]

And stalking some guy you've never met and posting screenshots of what he's doing/a business you don't own/didn't create etc etc and moaning about it isn't stupid? Okkkk then m9

Anyway I'm bored now, unsubbed. Enjoy your debates on someone you've never met, never will and a business/website you don't own. #datentitlementdoe how woke. You're an npc to me now m9

Maybe you should contact the mods and tell them that they should enforce a rule where no one can criticise anyone unless they have met them personally.
