This is a win for Twitter. Why allow yourself to be a hostage to advertisers?

90%+ of their revenue comes from ads, how could they not care about advertisers?

You should care, but not become a hostage to them.

Advertisers will need Twitter much more than Twitter will need them, soon.

If I have to ban 5% of shitty accounts to reduce as much hate speech as possible and have some infrastructure to keep out trollbots whilst becoming rich I would have no problem with that. Twitter is a platform, not a government. No one has any right to speech on there other than that which the platform chooses to allow. Musk seems to value racist and bigoted speech on his platform. No one is going to pay for that and no one is going to advertise on it.
