Xitter has moved from offering 50% off add purchases of $250k a couple months ago to threatening removal of "gold checks" from companies that don't spend $1k.

That is not the strategy of a healthy advertising-driven company. It isn't even a strategy, that's flop-sweat.

This isn't Tesla - its Twitter or X.

You might as well jabber on about tulip bulbs.
