I give my brother shit because he’s far left progressive but still spends all day on Xitter. His excuse is that Xitter isnt making a profit so he’s hurting Musk a tiny bit every time he uses it…Yeah, I didnt buy it either.
Have a counterargument to give him. He’s the product, and his service is giving fascist trolls someone to argue with, and fellow “leftists” someone to come to X to see. He’s encouraging other people to use the site, and they’re watching ads and buying checkmarks.
Also he’s encouraging governments and politicians to stay, and letting the media be controlled by a fascist.
It would be a lot less profitable if the site was only bots. He’s subsidizing the bots.
Xitter isn’t meant to make a profit directly, it’s a loss leader to gain government influence so he can make real money through government contracts via Space X, Starlink, etc

Forget profit, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that choosing to stay on twitter only legitimizes it.

“The local grocery store is run by a neo Nazi, but they’re worried about going out of business so if I shop there I’m costing them money!”
They’re profiting off your data, alright
Tell him he’s dreaming.
