It took me a while to understand it's not yet another Twitter meme

Another reason why that name is so fucking stupid.

Let's throw away a decade of branding that most companies would kill to have, and instead replace it with a symbol that people click on to escape from ads.

And get rid of the algorithm so the “right” content is pushed.

And get rid of the workers that kept everything going.

And get rid of verification so anyone can look like a company statement and affect stock.

It's a muskism.

I hereby define that term as a noun meaning an "impulsive decision you know you'll regret later, but you make it anyway, just to annoy people".

Do you still wake up from nightmares of the horrific actions you have performed? Like nazi guards just following orders

[–] match@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Next question

Why write "Hell" and "Welcome" when you can have "Hellcome"?

They had that before but it kept getting vandalized

"I don't understand, your name isn't here either"

"Of course, I was also the guy who made ads that take you to the app store automatically even if you don't click them"

[Sends them to Ultra hell]

As an adblock user, this one took me a while to get.
