Does the woke like being broke or having their way?

Funny the abc article mentions Tesla stock falling 16% this week but failed to mention the pre-market chaos of the reality of the real value of Twitter outside of the takeover.


Shares of the social media company fell 17.7% to $37.10 in premarket trading, their lowest level since Musk disclosed his stake in the company in early April and subsequently made a "best and final" offer to take it private for $54.20 per share.

If you knew you would soon be able to sell shares at $54.20 why would you sell for $35.09? Clearly the market doesn't trust Musk to come through. Make no mistake, money talks so this is no social statement. Musk being Musk, it is possible that he is using the 'hold' to manipulate the price and then come back with an excuse like the fake accounts percentage for having to make a lower offer...or to bow out. Of course, posting comments to manipulate stock prices is a good way to attract federal attention.

The test sample size was 100 ?!?

That is a freaking joke. No wonder he stopped the deal.



Elon Musk on Saturday tweeted that Twitter Inc's legal team accused him of violating a nondisclosure agreement by revealing that the sample size for the social media platform's checks on automated users was 100.
"Twitter legal just called to complain that I violated their NDA by revealing the bot check sample size is 100!" tweeted Musk, chief executive of electric car maker Tesla Inc.

Musk on Friday tweeted that his $44-billion cash deal to take the company private was "temporarily on hold" while he awaited data on the proportion of its fake accounts.

He said his team would test "a random sample of 100 followers" on Twitter to identify the bots. His response to a question prompted Twitter's accusation.

When a user asked Musk to "elaborate on process of filtering bot accounts," he replied: "I picked 100 as the sample size number, because that is what Twitter uses to calculate <5% fake/spam/duplicate."

Musk tweeted during the early hours of Sunday that he is yet to see "any" analysis that shows that the social media company has fake accounts less than 5%.

He later said that "There is some chance it might be over 90% of daily active users

I saw a headline from sky news that said Musk wants a discount on his offer based on the percentage of fake accounts. 25% fake accounts, 25% discount on the offer price.

I now think that he's just screwing with Twitter and liberals just to see their reaction. It's more entertaining than the stock market lately!

they have been doing this for years.

back when r/the_donald was still a thing, reddit went thru SEVERAL alterations of their algo in order to suppress JUST HOW POPULAR that subreddit was.

basically, they changed the "voting" algorithm in combination with the submission algo in order to prevent new posts that get IMMEDIATE upvotes from being pushed onto the front page. this stopped the entirety of the front page being all trump posts.

then, i'll have to look for it; but i remember there was an e-mail leaked from spez that addressed how many ACTUAL, UNIQUE visitors to reddit there were. it was somewhere in the lines of just a few million, straight up like 10 million TOTAL USERS ON THE WHOLE SITE.

but yet, when you go to a subreddit like r/politics (which we KNOW was literally PURCHASED by david brock and shareblue prior to 2016 because hildawg was PISSED that reddit was nothing but bernie and trump posting), it says there are over 8,000,000 subscribed users.

using the daily unique log ins and daily comment data (most reddits don't submit, more comment), it was obvious that the_donald was BY FAR the most popular subreddit. and even spez had to admit this in his e-mail.... but long story short, if his numbers were correct it meant at one point like 80% of reddit's daily traffic involving REAL users were all going to the_donald. like straight up, the_donald was getting like 6,000,000 of the 10,000,000 users on the site; literally MORE THAN HALF OF REDDIT WAS USING THE_DONALD.

this was exposed YEARS ago, and not long after that subreddit was shut down for "violent threats against police", which is a joke now that BLM literally burned several police stations to the ground and "f 12" and ACAB and all that trash.

HOLY CRAP I FOUND A RANDOM FOX NEWS AFTER GOOGLING FOR LIKE AN HOUR. THERE IS ***NOTHING*** ON REDDIT ABOUT THIS ANYMORE; THIS IS HOW DIGITAL CONSPIRACY IS SO SIMPLE TO ENFORCE; IF A SCHIZO LIKE ME DOESN'T REMEMBER THIS STUFF AND *KNOW* THAT IT EXISTED; IT WILL BE "GONE" WITHOUT A TRACE AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW. THEY COUNT ON THIS.

from the article:

>Reddit.com has a live counter available to the public that says the pro-Trump section of the site has 385,000 subscribers. Reddit users closely follow such counters to gauge popularity. But between Thursday and Friday afternoon, if a user went to Reddit's advertising platform, ads.reddit.com, and expressed interest in advertising in the Trump subreddit, the user was shown a dramatically higher number of subscribers: more than 6 million.

>Users also said that Reddit could be guilty of advertising fraud if it were to turn out that the 385,000 number were correct and the 6 million number were wrong.

>Prior to the fix, other sections of the site also had apparent discrepancies between the advertising count and the normal count, but not nearly as big as for the Trump section. Reddit's politics section, for example, was listed as having 6.3 million subscribers to advertisers and 3.3 million to the general public.

>Other sections actually had advertising counts that are lower than the public counts: The Reddit Science section was shown to advertisers as having 10 million users while the general public saw 16 million.

so basically, they lied about the_donald, said it only had ~380,000 subscribers when in reality IT HAD OVER 6,000,000.
while at the same time, they said r/science had 16,000,000 users while it only had 10,000,000.

this is how "big tech" makes you think it's so big.
this is also how "big tech" makes you think your ideas aren't popular.
