given the number of (far) right figureheads she follows[1], appealing to advertisers that care about these kinds of optics doesn't seem to be part of the plan

That doesn't seem a useful metric, as surely that isn't an exhaustive list, and following someone on twitter is not a useful signal that you share their philosophy. Lot's of "hate" following on twitter.


As a future CEO of Twitter trying to get advertisers back on board, I'd sure as hell curate my follows. It's not like she's a random user.


But I don't think advertisers GAF about her personal beliefs or philosophy, as long as their ads don't show up next to beheadings or nazis. She is already an advertising executive


Nah dude, the huge companies that use record profits to buy back stock instead of giving raises to their employees struggling to afford their cost of living and who routinely pull shit like laying off and rehiring people to new positions so they have a reason not to give them raises and closing down stores that even discuss the idea of unionizing would totally draw the line at advertising at a company that has a CEO that follows rightoids instead of leftists.

If there’s one thing that massive for profit corporations can’t stand it’s capitalism.


If "follow" would be replaced with "observe", I might observe some peoples activities.

But actually following any of them? No thanks.

Language is important and I think lots of it, like "facebook friends" was not choosen well.


I think most famous people, unless they are known for their Twitter handle, farm out the Twitter account to the interns
