If it provides any solace, it appears Elmo is father of several kids he goes nowhere around
Rough back-of-the-envelope est is ESPN/ABC is locked into ~$4B/yr in sportsball contracts. To make it worse, NBA ratings are down 5% this year. So losing even 700K subscribers is going to leave a mark
I have very low expectations of the GOP, so my criticism is aimed at the Dems. Why aren't they flooding every possible media with the practical realities of Trump2.0? No more limp language. Fed. govt. is one of the largest employers in many red districts. Tell the constituents, "When Elmo is done, your district will be looking at 7% UE." "Shutting USAID will force US farmers into bankruptcy.” “Get ready for grandma to move in when Medicaid cuts close her assisted living facility." And last: "Where are the f**kin' eggs?"
The strongest reason for moderation, as Elmo has discovered, is to protect your advertising revenue.
Brexit was the act of jumping out of a plane, then debating what we should do about a parachute. Tik Tok has many of the same qualities
I've owned media companies. There is always somewhere else. X is still losing ad revenue and Elmo is still losing $$ hand over fist. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be whining about ad "boycotts" https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/x-formerly-twitter-shares-q5-marketing-tips/735593/
Since FB makes nearly all of its money from advertising, how will this be affected? In reality, little may change in FB but if advertisers perceive changes that put their message in a bad environment, or they start getting negative blowback from consumers, will they go running to the doors like they did with Elmo?
For voters to make clear to their state representatives that communities should have as much right to build ISPs as Comcast.
Sorry Elon and Donald, truth is an absolute defense against defamation.
Seeing how pepper spray couldn't stop a fight between the Michigan and Ohio State football players, I'm a little skeptical it would deter a lunatic with an AR-15. ...and another thing: what effect would being accidentaly tasered have on a 7 yr old with a heart condition?
Where were all these laws outlawing companies not advertising when I was selling advertising for a living?
Reminder that the Parents Television Council has been calling for ad boycotts for years. Did Kenny boy investigate that?
Homer had a similar experience when he was booted from the Frying Dutchman All You Can Eat Buffet after management determined the policy applied to humans and Homer was not a human, but a "remorseless eating machine"
Hadn't watched Amazon Prime in a while and when I did it literally started with 6 ads. Now I think of it like warming up the air fryer. Hit watch and know I've got 5 minutes to do something else.
Before the Braves moved to Atlanta, the minor league team was the "Atlanta Crackers"
I called Comcast to get a credit for the time my wifi service was out. Apparently my request had to go to all the way to the C-level in Phily, because it took a long time for the rep to get approval. When she did return, the offer was for a credit for Xfinity Mobile. I asked her why — considering I'm calling to complain about your wifi — would I possibly want your mobile service? I'm sure at the risk of losing her job, she had to admit I had a point.
I asked myself how much more schadenfreude could a single, short post provide? And the answer is none, none more schadenfreude.
"Privitize the profits, socialize the losses" should be printed on US currency
A cursory review of online search results would suggest banning youth pastors would be more effective in protecting students than banning library books.
Those darn books...
And, by chance, if any SD HS grads are literate, they will make a beeline out-of-state for college.
