Shouldn’t that be X-forming?
That Husky must be miserable in Australia.
Hey, don’t deadname the planet X by calling it Mars!
Wait, I thought Earth was blocking Planet X’s view of Mars.
Don’t you mean Persephone (Wiki link)?
Oh, thank god, Elmo is finally going to fix Twitter.
“On Tuesday, Tesla is expected to report a 40% plunge in operating profit and its first revenue decline in four years. Musk has ordered up the company’s biggest layoffs ever and staked its future on a next-generation, self-driving vehicle concept called the robotaxi. People familiar with his directives, who asked not to be identified discussing internal deliberations, are unsettled by the changes the CEO wants to push through.”
Whatever he’s high on right now, the comedown is gonna be brutal.
He’s going to fucking sink a viable electric car company, isn’t he.
Can someone explain what engagement farming is?
After beta-testing the process on Xitter, he’s ready to go into full-scale production.
Posting controversial, annoying, or baity content that other users (or bots) engage with.
Can be used to build credible accounts for other purposes.
Here’s an article explaining what engagement farming is, why it’s used, some examples of it, and the problems it causes.
T-t-t-tell it, it to Earth.
Oh thanks, very informative.
Thanks to you too steronz.
The reason I saw Musks tweet was that it was accompanied with a screenshot of Musk engaging with someone who was clearly engagement farming.
However, I didn’t check if it was real. But it does fit stuff we’ve seen him reply to before. But, to be fair, it sounds like he just now learned about it, maybe from the other platforms’ attempts to reduce it.
Shut up and let the masses give you money and prop up your stock value way out of line with your revenue.
OR
Take a bunch of ketamine and spout some insane, racist, and/or stupid bullshit for months on end and reduce your net worth by more than the GDP of a small nation.
Apparently, that’s a tough choice for some.
“Don’t Feed the Engagement Farmer” just doesn’t roll off the tongue.
Well, that’s the best part. It’s whatever Elmo decides it is. One could even describe most of Elmo’s Twits as engagement farming.
He has enough money to satisfy any material desire he could ever articulate.
But adulation from his fanbois, disgust from his enemies, that sweet, sweet attention…ah, now that’s a drug to make heroin look like aspirin.
Rather than just his fanbois, he seems to want the adulation of the masses. And he’s not getting it.
For some reason he doesn’t understand why spouting a bunch of wannabe edgelord bullshit doesn’t work.
Probably some mix of the ketamine and the fact that his vast wealth means nobody in his immediate circle ever calls him on his bullshit to his face so he thinks everybody actually agrees with his clearly profound ideas and the detractors are crisis actors or some such (note some people have said pretty much this - that he’s so insulated from regular people that it boggles his mind when he encounters a person who absolutely does not give a shit what he says).
It’s just so hard not really being a deeply bigoted, unpleasant dudebro but somebody who is always right about everything and just tells it like it is.
