They only care when a bunch of idiots pretend that having an ad in the vicinity of something they don’t like

Studies indicate a link between the ad and its emotionally charged context to viewers. [1] [2] I know that Musk claimed that several times, almost verbatim as you said it, but it's not exactly true. And I also know because I've had that visceral reaction to an ad being 'misplaced'. I don't think it's an empty claim at all, and the company has every right to decide where to show their ads and why.

Did you not realise that? Did you really think that it was just a coincidence that all of a sudden it became some giant issue just as elon musk bought Twitter?

Like how Elon made it a huge deal himself by publicly telling companies to 'go fuck yourself' if they didn't like it his way?

you then try to make fun of me for being more educated than you lol. Amazing

Nope, this is not a pissing contest. This is a can-you-piss test because I think your takes don't reflect your level of education. I can count at least two that I find quite baffling, so I had to ask.

Studies can be - and often are - made to show anything. Having family members who work in the research industry I know for a fact, because they would often get approached to do a study to get a particular result. If they refuse, someone who needs the money will gladly do it. It's the same way that any lawyer can find an "expert" to support their desired position in court.

My point was that no one cared about where their ads showed on Twitter until Elon bought it, and then all of a sudden it was this major issue. It was performative and it was being used to try to blackmail them, that's why he said what he said.

It was when you thought you could piss higher and further than me ;). Funny that. I find your takes baffling, so I'm asking - what is your level of education?

If you think there's fraud, then show it. You seem to know your way around.

Elon immediately fired the content moderating team. The racist hash tags showed up and then Elmo defended them and told advertisers to go fuck themselves if they disagreed. Why are you dead-set about blaming the media? Lol

It was when you thought you could piss higher

Bruh. Lol I made my point, and I still don't hear anything reasonable from you to correct that. You sure it's on me to talk that big and walk so small? What was that you said about cisgender again?

I mean, your reasonable takes when, mr doctor? I love how you latched onto the pissing bit instead of matching your statements and priorities to your claimed level of education. If you claim to walk, then walk. You claim to run, so let's see it.

Oh, and I still need evidence of fraud for the studies (not to be confused with how long you claim your dick to be, in case you get fixated on another stupid pissing contest to conveniently divert from the topic).

Reasonable statements worthy of a self-described doctor when?
