Say it ain't so! 😂

Manipulative headline. It's not holding up anything as much as people are trying to make sure they can still feed their families in the face of the insatiable corporate hunger for cost cutting to yield ever more profits.

Message control.

This is why they bought the media in the first place, so what they say is loudest.

I never thought I'd ever see someone argue against helping kids with cancer DIRECTLY when we have excess in the palm our hands, and yet here we are.

I'll never understand spending that money like that instead of helping kids with cancer.

Probably one of the several reasons why I am not rich.

That's great, I suppose less concentration to a single platform is a better direction.

Is there less rage and frothing at the mouth on Bluesky? I would imagine whatever ills plague Twitter would also eventually come to Bluesky, because people are there. And people are people. We don't seem to have a solution to the problem - which is a specific subset of people intent on harm, and allowing them direct and wholesale access to the social fabric.

So easy nowadays to fabricate rage-inducing and follower-generating bait. No time for truth and no plan to really get there. How long before we see someone take a stab at a ministry of truth?

I'm really enjoying Bluesky strangely enough, not normally my thing.

Has there been any movement from those wallets in the years since Satoshi went dark?

We're not going to hit those targets anyway... SO LET'S MAKE IT WAY FUCKING WORSE

I wonder if we'll ever get to the place where people like this unexpectedly meet violent ends. They'll sacrifice any number of lives for their shareholders interests.

Any one want to guess who will really end up paying for the price hike?

It's not AT&T.

Let me try.

By creating a culture that singularly valued money and production over all other concerns, including the well-being of staff, Kotick created and cultivated the conditions needed for abuse to set in.

And Kotick is the kind of sociopath that leads to this when other things are swept under the rug.

Maybe it wasn't a line item on his payslip though.

Yeah, but Kotick was not really the real issue. He's a straw man of sorts, a target dummy, designed to draw fire for unpopular decisions.

It is the board and shareholders who massively incentivized him into that behaviour. CEOs are brought in to act in the interests of shareholders, while also abstracting them away from blame and direct culpability.

The goal of blizzard (and any other publically listed company) is wealth creation for shareholders via share price growth, not making games per se.
