twittybird does not make money. rather surprising that, would have expected a 15 year old company to be profitable by now. this makes Muskrat's buyout offer a little stranger. pay 50b for a company that loses money? be an interesting turn around if he can pull it off. butt Muskrat has a lot of experience with companies that make a lot of money like Tesla. oh wait ...

and just how do you monetize bots? if the bots are internally created by twittybird and it becomes known companies paying for ad's will be pissed and stop buying ad's. they want their ad's on sites with high pages hits if they find out a large number of bots falsely pad those stats they will pull the ad's. if the bots are mostly external from twittybird then twittybird has no control at all over it and again the page traffic is inflated. and one of the things Muskrat said he wants to do is to see a subscription for ad free accounts. as low as 3 dollars i hear. which for a monthly subscription is pretty damn cheap.



it would not surprise me that the current woketard leadership at twittybird has been faking bot data. what could it really be? 10%, 15%, over 20%?


that would be like 20% of posters here on ecky are bots. of course VitaLessMan thinks i'm a bot anyway

He said he didn't care about making money from Twitter! That didn't last long!

Folks like Limbaugh and Hannity have often said that Twitter was, in some ways, not eal or did not represent a reality.

I do recall that Rush had figured out that when a cascade of negative tweets on him hit the 'net, that it was just a small number of operators twittering away and re-tweeting in an echo effect.

So to find that there are far fewer real accounts than the Twitter organization reports is not surprising. Did the Twitter organization know this? I think they may very well have.

Did Musk know it was hollow and the whole "I'll-just-buy-Twitter" thing was his way of exposing the sham and then collapsing Twitter? Yeah, I could believe that too.

10-15% of twitter accounts are bots... less than 10% of the US has a twitter account.

It isn't reality.

Only a stupid person would buy Twitter for that price, and Elon is not a stupid person. Besides, how can the deal go through when he may have illegally bought his shares? Would be very unfair to all of those shareholders, past, present, and future, who got “screwed.” I appreciate the offer, but I will never go back to Twitter. I love TRUTH!

The question isn't just how many bot accounts are on Twitter. I want to know how active they are in taking tweets viral. It's been known for some time that 10% of Twitter accounts generate 80-90% of all tweets. How many of those super-active accounts are bots?

Are bots being used to goose traffic by artificially elevating certain tweets to the "what's trending now?" list?

Thank you. Long, but detailed.


Sizing Up Twitter Users

The Twitter platform provides multiple ways to post and share content, but the top 10% of tweeters are more likely to report using automated methods that allow others to post tweets on their behalf: 25% of highly prolific tweeters have done so, compared with only 15% of Twitter users in the bottom 90%.











Here we go!
It seems to me that Musk, by his actions, is flushing out the sewer.

Musk reminds me a lot of Howard Hugh’s is his ability to be involved in so many diversified
endeavors and make huge amounts of money.

Heck, he might shut Twitter down just for the heck of it.

Remember back when Hugh’s decided to rent the entire top floor of one of the plush Vegas hotels. After a while, the Hotel Management wanted him out. So, he bought the Hotel.

Elon Musk just might be Howard Hugh’s redux without all of the craziness.
