In ordinary times the entire C-suite of these firms would be replaced, but now losing money is chic. Not to be Dr Doomer (a real doctor, by the way), but if Biden gets into office expect a giant BAILOUT for all the companies who went broke going woke

The politicians will reward them with something else, indeed.
whats that in wayfair cabinets ?
Biden will also bail out woke states like NY. NY is completely broke and all new construction projects are on hold because there are no funds to allocate.
This was one of my biggest fears about losing Trump
Not good enough. As soon as and if GAB ever gets up and running . If your on twitter your a Traitor and will be isolated
Its not money. Jack and crew are sailing on the idea that these companies are the best tools for communication in the social media age. That they are cool, free and fun so something like Twitter is meaningful beyond its stock value. Only way to kill it is to kill that idea. Myspace them. You have to walk away. Let them dwindle. If people are logging on, even once a day, they live.
Keep SELLING their Stocks and don't use their shit!
Add Amazon STOP using their shit... especially turn off the spy Alexa
These are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.

= It will cause a MASSIVE increase in their server load = running costs
2 .Then leave FB with a final single post, where you explain that FB controls you, your thinking and attention (time is most precious) and that you don't consent.
= This will encourage others to do the same.
= This will cost them more in loss of advertising revenue / impressions and user numbers.
this should be its own post
No, it shouldn't. This isn't practical whatsoever if you're trying to cause them to lose revenue.
Nice try handshake account
Yeah because I'm sure you know how a network infrastructure works. And I'm sure that you didn't fall for Facebook's nonsense and you haven't been a user for like 10 years. Try to poke holes in my argument, if you understood what they've taken from you and the fact that you're just giving it away for nothing, scratch that you giving it away to argue politics and to give away all your browsing data, you know that there's basically nothing you can do to cause them any problems for financial hardship unless you went and took down one of their server farms yourself. And even then, they'd have it back up and running in no time while there other locations carry the burden. So it might take 10 extra seconds to get back into your account, but it's really nothing that can't be resolved almost instantly. You're just pushing this information, that has no grounds in how their system works and peddling it because it sounds smart. It doesn't sound smart. It sounds like the same thing they say every time that somebody goes against the grain and a social media platform is the cause. "Let's take him down by leaving the platform!" Is always the first reaction as if that's going to have some kind of perfect. Let it go, fella. You lost and you're following terrible information. In more ways than one.
Right, that's why they lost 51B in value.
That's 51 billion in market value, that's stock price. That's nothing. Billion dollar companies do this all the time. Look at their 10y stock chart. They're exactly where they were a year ago. A year ago! This would have happened either way. Or even three years ago, what was the catalyst for losing the amount of cash they did then? Was Trump? Was it all the Trump supporters leaving Twitter? No it was common market factors like rumors. What about the fact that they've never been as valuable as they were in their first year of business? Was that also because of Trump or Trump supporters? Because it's never been so high oh, so it must have been because of a specific factor that you picked. People are just selling on the bad PR and as soon as that goes away it's going to get right back up To where it was, similar to the peaks and valleys of years before. In fact it would probably be a good time to buy oh, because this discount is going to be nice in a month or two when it goes back. The amount of trump supporters that are leaving Twitter are not enough to have a significant and long-term negative effect on their market value. It's only the rumors. It's awesome that you can repeat headlines that you heard and feel responsible for though! Take down Tesla next would you, I sold at 640 and I should have held on! Now it's over 800! I wish I would have hung on! Quick go! Do your magic!
Yawn
I keep seeing posts about people pushing the agenda to leave Facebook and other large companies and where I don't disagree with leaving those platforms most of the people that are pushing this think that these platforms are going to lose a substantial amount of money from people leaving or you're going to cost them a substantial amount of money from doing so is a serious over estimate of your status on a social media platform.
Barely. Downloading your content is basically the equivalent of refreshing a couple pages. Most of your posts, if you make any posts are majority text. Oh wow, look out for a server load of text. But what about the pictures you ask? Well the majority of the pictures that you upload are compressed into a smaller file size. That means you're large, maybe estimating something like a 12 megapixel image is cut down to a small manageable PNG/JPEG file that is maybe a tenth of what your original upload was? And that's being generous. You're not going to be causing that much stress, thousands of people doing this all at once on top of the data that they send everywhere all over the world from all their data centers at the same time, you're not doing anything to increase their server load. Whoever made up this information on the spot or has cherry picked it from other sources and hasn't done their due diligence regarding networking. A handful of Trump supporters at the same time is just not going to affect it whatsoever.
And continue the stereotype that nobody leaves social media without explaining to everybody that they're leaving social media. The fact that you don't consent now is basically like buying a meal, eating everything, tipping really good, but now saying in your social circle that you didn't really enjoy it. The damage is done, the feedback was already useful, it's past the point of you doing any actual financial damage. Especially if you're in one of the main demographics, if you given them a main demographic in terms of your 18-35 life, they're already buying and selling this information constantly and this is literally the best information they can get. You've already consent to giving them every bit of your information, including where you are, who your friends are, your browsing information, your other app information from your phone, browsing information if your on desktop, and what you're doing in all these situations. Basically you blown it, they have everything. If you don't consent now, and you're trying to pretend that you don't consent now, congratulations you're a total hypocrite because you gave away the farm, and now you're trying to claim that you never did. If you want to go out with a bang, say that you were stupid to have given away your information in the first place and that everyone should do their research before letting new people onto social media platforms.. Because that's the only people you're ever going to save from consenting. By the way, consider the people you're speaking to, you know everyone else who's reading your message has already given away the farm. You're not doing anything positive. You're trying to make a statement after it's all said and done, no impact. If you really want to do damage, you would mess with the information that they're gathering like uploading bogus information and nonsense that they can't do anything with or if they do it's just a one-off and invaluable to their research.
Barely. If you believe that you're going to do some kind of damage by leaving your Facebook account now because a couple of your friends did, I've got a bridge to sell you.
They've already done the math that it's going to take years for them to completely run through all of the users and start manageable decline. Not to mention the supposed to be 8 billion new internet users in the next 5 years. How many of those are going to sign up for Facebook or other social media platforms? Yeah, they still have a sizable amount of users to add to their already impressive numbers. If it ever becomes a problem though, they have other means to continue their life span. Before that they will easily sell off assets, server farms, shrink staff and all other appropriate actions that large companies take to salvage the business. They will most likely always exist, but will leverage their investments into other areas so that Facebook never Dies. A hand full of trump supporters leaving on the same day or the same month is not going to have a serious impact on their numbers.
Do whatever you want though, if you want to continue to listen to these posts as if they have done any research into how to cause Facebook trouble, by all means leave and convince yourself that this is something is that you have an effect on. But if you're taking this serious and you actually want to do any damage to Facebook, stay online and screw with your/their data. Do not leave. Deleting your account, or deactivating your account is only forward facing, meaning it deletes or removes your account from the Facebook circles, the inside Facebook circles that are given to the government and research agencies do not go away. You will just become a shadow profile and still exist. You can't do any damage to a company that you have no way to interact with. Because a small group of people leaving is not going to do the damage you think it will. If you're going to leave Facebook, leave it for yourself. Leave it because you value your privacy and the fact you don't need to rely on social media to feel good about yourself. It's important to leave, but do it for yourself and not because you think you're going to be causing someone or something on the other end damaged.
Cute idea though. Take em down, big guy!
Didnt Zuck spend 400m on the eletion? Bad move. He should be removed by the shareholders for mismanagement.
Censoring wrong think would make me pretty pissed as a board member. It's like chevy deciding to ship out bicycles instead of cars in 2021
Jesus imagine if there was a bailout for tech companies.
NOT ENOUGH!
NOT ENOUGH Drive it down more
Social Shitholes
Yet Bitcoin is oddly unaffected.
Twitter is Dying
Interestingly, my Fidelity dashboard has removed the social sentiment graph pertaining to their stock. It was up last week with an extreme negative of -3.3/4.0 range. Same with FB.
Not enough. Keep going!!
That's not enough! That number needs to be yuge!
Doc,. You hit the nail on the head.. you just know the kiddie fiddler and the whore are gonna be dishing bail out cheques at a cost to everyone but themselves.
I don’t think they care, Chy-nah will be paying them back!
Join me in shorting their stock! I'm already up 200 bucks!
Money isn't the motivator for them, never was. Twitter and Facebook are ran by the powers at be with Jack and Zuck as head figures. They're imprisoned.
Pennies to them. Lose it all
a bailout with your tax dollars
75 million Trump Voters pay a lot of taxes
That's a lot of taxation without representation
Facebook and Twitter have lost 51 billion in stock value. No shareholder outrage? No calls to replace leaders?
How can an actual company with a real bottom line compete?
“Go build your own” implies the one they built plays fair.
I've owned FB for a long time so I've made my money. It was a fantastic feeling to sell my shares. Fuck you, Zuckerberg.
A bailout with what? Toilet paper?
Not enough.
MORE
We gotta pump those number up
I hate when people with titles go out of their way to tell everyone. Who gives a fuck if you're a doctor. I don't fucking even know you
https://youtu.be/yB_exnfZc8g
I switched my 401k investments to NON-big tech companies. Let them bleed.
Patient: Doc, my arm hurts when I bend it this way.
Doctor: Don’t bend your arm that way.
Real Doctor or like a Jill Biden "Doctor"?
We got to pump up those numbers! Those are rookie numbers.
Lol at the real doctor, just the way it is shoe-horned in with no need to mention it. Thanks for the Lol. "How do you know if there is a doctor at the party? He will tell you!" Joke works better for Pilots. Updoot. Good news. Kek!
What flavor I’ve cream, Joe?
Yep, and states that threw away their tax money. It’s BS. Trump needs to do something. How can the military watch as normal Americans are attacked by Antifa and Democrats after rallies, but now you are going to let them take the country after the way they acted for 4 years and are breaking our laws and constitution while doing it all. There has to be something happening.
Your post reminded me:
Hi, Bob Vance, Vance Refridgeration.
What kind of work you in, Bob?
I want to know where to put dollars saved. It seems to me that inflation is about to skyrocket. How can I keep savings from being wiped out?
Only our 401k lost. CEOs are better than ever
Then let sue them for another 51M
Did that money ever exist or is it just the hyped up value?
Stop linking to them both forever. We moving on
What about amazon?
No enough. MORE. Edit: Just to clarify. I want them to be so bankrupt that when their business collapses and they need a state handout, the socialist they’ve empowered tell them to go fuck themselves.
