Elon Musk disclosed on Twitter Saturday that, due to a 50% drop in advertising revenue and a “heavy debt load,” the platform still has a negative cash flow.
It's the best and worst thing to happen to the internet.
Best because - Twitter is a toxic site, with toxic people and a system that encourages ragebaiting means it breeds it.
Worst because - These negative people need somewhere to go... And it will only force them onto alternatives and fester in new places. Potentially here.
I disagree that the toxic people need somewhere to go. They WANT somewhere to go, but if the internet is built as a place where toxicity is not tolerated, they will have nothing to do but to fume privately, and burn in their little oxygen-less chambers until that flame goes out
