Clip: Musk Is Trying To Play Both Sides Of the Culture War

[superectojazzmage]

The main reason Musk and what he’s doing to Twitter is so funny to me is that he’s a pathetic, spoiled, narcissistic moron with an unearned ego and no grip on reality, but the countless Twitter users and employees he’s fucking with are EVEN BIGGER pathetic, spoiled, narcissistic morons with unearned egos and no grip on reality.

Musk is the exact sort of narcissistic idiot who preys on OTHER narcissistic idiots, so we now have this situation where he’s spamming out the lamest, most low-tier bait imaginable and the Twitter sphere just keeps walking right into it and then trying desperately to act like they’re not doing something incredibly stupid by feeding the obvious troll and then crying and pissing themselves with rage to start the cycle anew every time Musk alters the policies to be less one-sided in their favor.

And all Musk has to do to keep the spotlight on himself like he wants is keep making dumb bait posts for people to whine about while restructuring and breaking up Twitter itself to make some degree of money off his inane purchase.

So...just floating an idea here.

How much more do we have to tank the value of this site before we can just buy it as a collective and put in all the changes weve wanted for over a decade?

I have some thoughts about the Activision/Blizzard takeover. Well, more about some of the xbox gamers that support it. Year after year since the ps4 launch i had to hear that it "wasn't fair" that PS had some exclusives (which most of them were first party titles or completely new franchises) and microsoft apparently had nothing. And that this deal and the Bethesda takeover is somehow some "devine justice" for being "ridiculed for having nothing". Meanwhile i remember the thirteen years when Microsoft just flopped a bag of cash in front of developers and made twenty seven instalments (that i know off) of multiplatform games (or even playstation mainstays) to make those instalments exclusive on the xbox and xbox 360. Just one generation where the roles are reversed and they feel it is justified that Microsoft just bought a huge chunk of the third party multiplatform ip and make it exclusive to the xbox/gamepass. I have to say it, but what a bunch of hypocrites. Sony plays by microsoft's own rules just a couple of times and Microsoft just flips the board. And these hypocrites praises them for it. I never had a high opinion about Microsoft. I know the company for thirty years now. I remember when they tried to monopolise the OS market. I remember when they tried to monopolise the search engine market I remember when they tried to monopolise PC gaming. I remember the twenty seven games they robbed us PS players off with the xbox. I remember when they tried to increase the price of xbox gold multiple times for no reason. Including two years ago and now they forced gold into gamepass. I remember the xbox one. A DRM filled machine "entertainment system" that made it unable to not only sharing your games with somebody else (let alone sell them) it also had a mandatory spy camera that you couldn't turn off. Oh, and let's not forget about the allways online part. I remember Donald Mattrick repeating that the kinnect, allways online and the drm were "hard coded" into the system and that it was unable to "flip a switch" to remove them. .........Only for a couple of weeks later after well deserved protests from the xbox playerbase to find out they could flip a swith and remove that. And gamepass.......... Gamepass is in my eyes a trojan horse that could destroy gaming as we know it. If it is successfull we will enter an age where we no longer have any rights to our games, that we don't own our games that we payed hard cash for. That they if they wish could just cut our access off, willie nillie. And you couldn't do anything about it. Or just increase the price. They had no reservations to try it multiple times with xbox gold, what will prevent them from doing it with gamepass? And people ask why we Playstation gamers (and probably some pc gamers too if they have the same suspisions i have with gamepass) have reservations with this buy out. This massive change in the gaming landscape. I wonder why people trusts that company still. Now i can understand that Playstation has its flaws. Its cybersecurity is a mess. But they never have tried to screw me over as a gamer. Microsoft/Xbox has.
