Rather than delete the platform as you suggest, I propose Elon dedicate it to videos about seals. It is by far the best application of twitter I can think of.
But then people would just complain about the seals and it would be upsetting. I suggest we dedicate it entirely to terribly wrong conspiracy theories and rename it idiot central. We could make a new, shiny website for the seals. They deserve it.
If we are being meta, then twitter people would go on to become everyday people we see around in the world. They are this vicious only on that app that brings out the worst in all of us.
They would INSTANTLY gather in ANY platform that's available and not too tolerant of any other views than that of the platform refugees. As long as the loudmouths can DRAG and silence anyone else they are OK. Don't worry.
Privatizing would make it where it's more of his "standards" of free speech not having to rely or consult a board for certain issues, take that as you will (by his standards it sounds good with his more law focused stance to me atleast) The subscription service isn't for the site as a whole but is to get verified on the app (you pay and get a blue check and some extra features) the site as a whole will still be free and probably stay the same for 75% of people.
It was already private, genius. A publicly traded corporation is privately owned by its shareholders. In the case of Twitter, according to Jack, it was subject to a hostile takeover by Paul Singers' company, which meant that Twitter would moderate content according to whatever Singer wanted. See how the world looks different when you actually pay attention to things? Maybe you should try that sometime. And what is your argument anyway? "These guys don't believe in free speech!" cries person who doesn't believe in free speech. This isn't exactly the knockout argument you seem to imagine it is. Don't ever post anything on the internet ever again. It's a waste of everybody's time. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
@@spacemanx9595 Yes, that's exactly the point. Which is what Singer did, which is why he could censor users. So if you take the company private and don't allow people like Singer to buy it, then you, as the owner, can decide if you're going to censor or not. You have the reading comprehension of a 6th grader.

@@ally939 yes, as Thomas Jefferson famously tweeted: “The revolutionary war wasn’t necessary.

You can’t tell his Stans/fanboys that. The same people that Stan everything Trump does are the same ones that do the same for Elon. Im sure the fans don’t mind since they’ve been annoying and edgy since high school.
It also gives him credit for like... creating memes that he had nothing to do with until they were already popular. Mans doesnt make memes and he has never "memed us" he literally just rides the coat tails of gen z internet users as a PR stunt. Pretty typical tho, definitely not the first time ive seen him be given full credit for someone elses work/invention
I'm happy the only conflict I saw about this whole thing was whether artists should move to another site or stay. Like man can't believe people were considering tumblr again but here we are.

Being open source is a big deal, but I highly doubt they will show everything. If anything they will use it as a way to get people to work for free on their code.
Open source is generally made with public intrest, you can't really monetize Open Source as much as non-Open Source, it pays a lot less. Please give the devs some credit, most devs who write for free do it out of a passion project, they know the value of their skill so it's harder to con them into doing shit for free unless they are intrested in it. As a person who does want to get into tech, I think Open Source is the only viable solution to big cooperations getting unlimited power and control over people.
@@vaishnavisingh9244 Yes you are correct about people writing code for open source do it for passion. I adore that and fully support truly open-source code. What I'm saying is that most open-source programs are non profitable, like GIMP for example. People make things for the program to help the community. In the other hand Twitter as a platform is not made with the public in mind, it usually pushes people to be in a bubble , so they can see more of what they like and therefore spending more time in it. So think of how one of the first moves they are doing is making it private, so people can't invest in it. Devs that do things for love don't need a return, but they are gonna let people code for Twitter , but they will pic and choose what will be integrated for the main public. Again Twitter is not like GIMP or stuff like that, it's a huge company that even deal with political power so it's hard for me to see it really showing it's full code in a open-source way, but instead showing what can be easily customized so people can produce for them, without needing their spendings. You see what I mean? (Sorry for the long comment)
I use RUclips and Pinterest mainly, Reddit when I need something and I might only find it there, and Tumblr exclusively for custom content for The Sims 4. Honestly it feels like all I need. Why people use twitter for something besides nonsensical fun, cute animal content and accessible p*rn is beyond me.
I am literally in an argument right now on Twitter with some dude who created an enemy in his head to fight, completely missing the benign point. DRAGON BALL FANS BE NORMAL CHALLENGE (IMPOSSIBLE)! I'mma go back tho. I will never learn my lesson until the app is stopped.
i left twitter roughly two years ago and tbh that's probably the best decision i ever made for my mental health. i then went from being somewhat on instagram to thoroughly on instagram, and eventually reduced even that to occasionally shitposting and looking for tattoo inspiration on the explore page of an account which i have curated to have exclusively tattoos on the explore page lol. now i'm just on youtube constantly but at least this algorithm wants to give me content that i will enjoy. twitter is an absolute cesspool of horrible takes, and tbh if elon buying twitter means more people get off twitter, that's probably for the best imo. anybody who will die on the hill of "i am entitled to free speech = i am entitled to say all the slurs and no one is allowed to be upset with me about it" will probably love whatever elon decides to do with it. if that's not you, you already know that leaving twitter would benefit your mental health, and the choice is yours. obviously i am biased and i seriously cannot recommend enough leaving twitter
Elon is as much as a memelord as I'm Batman, which means he fucking isn't, he's the epitome of not funny. Oh! And hey, if he bought the site only to delete it, that would actually be the first good thing he's ever done! Rooting for him.
Epitome of not funny? While I dont personally find him funny you should probably educate yourself on humor being subjective. The world doesn't revolve around you, buddy!
Damn I absolutely hate Elon man. What a waste of billions of dollars for a supposedly “philanthropic” man. I really hope Elon stans eventually see the light and realize that Twitter will probably just become worse under him
Why are you so into this app? It annoys and drains anyone who uses it and still you are so addicted. It's beyond me but it makes clear why Musk bought the platform.
Just discovered your channel like a week or two ago and I'm catching up on your older videos. Perfect, relaxing bedtime vibes. I hope you never stop making content. It funny, wholesome and sometime educational. 💛
I’m so happy to see your Patreon list grow, you deserve that and so much more! Remember to take breaks and prioritize your mental health. We’d love to see you stick around the platform for awhile Great video as always! Keep up the great work Gabi :)
I’ve never had Twitter or Snapchat. Yet somehow I got TikTok. This really doesn’t effect me at all, but it’s funny seeing people freak out and act stupid. The best part of this whole video though is InuYasha falling down, I actually laughed. Yashahime is so good right now but I hate waiting for the dub to come out. For context, 95% of anime I watch is sub, I just grew up with Toonami and [adult swim]. I will not disrespect Richard Cox like that lol
Although I have Facebook and Instagram to catch up with friends, I have never wanted anything to do with Twitter. I think its an insane place to be in.
I just want to say I've binged most of your content in the last few days and I think you are one of the funniest people on RUclips, and I am genuinely surprised you don't have a million + subs. No doubt you will very soon, thanks for what you do
I quit Twitter after realizing I was sitting there for an hour just looking for comments that went against a topic I was for to "challenge" their thought process. I realized I became the villain... It's too late for me but to anybody who still doesn't have and never experienced Twitter: DON'T BE LIKE ME! KEEP LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE!!
Serious question: I actually love the community I have curated on twitter, it’s how I communicate with all of my friends and I was wondering does Twitter seem to only work positively when you have a lower follower count? I have about 1200 followers. I ask because I know that you have recently started to blow up on RUclips so as you have grown in reach has the app become more of a hellscape for you, or has it ALWAYS been a nightmare? Im genuinely curious because most people I know that still like twitter have smaller more manageable accounts. Just curious. Cheers, and brava on the hilarious content! You have seriously been a joy to discover! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
I think that when your smaller, the algorithms don't show your stuff to as many random people so you can curate your experience more. when you get more popular, algorithms push your tweets to more random people who don't get it. Also, maybe your posts arent as inflammatory, and the most controversial tweets tend to be pushed by their algorithms? tldr: i think it's all the algorithms pushing the buttons of the angriest people on the app that makes it such a hellscape
@@marzipan2555 That’s been my hypothesis as well though I still say “inflammatory” stuff & get button pushing crap sent my way too, just not on the level of others! lol
i wouldnt call an account with 1200 followers small for twitter lol. but it def has nothing to do with size, its more to do with what kind of content you interact with. if you interact with political tweets, twitter will show you political tweets. it’s also based on who you follow, a lot of my feed is stuff other people retweeted, liked, or simply from people that my mutuals follow
Honestly I find most niche communities pretty wholesome, though tbh I don’t use Twitter. I personally think it’s bc fewer people are exposed to it so it’s less common for a bad apple to find it, though there’s probably a better explanation for it.
Update: 2024, my twitter account had a few posts go viral and it made my experience a living hell! I now get more useless piggybacked tweets from people spamming crypto bullshit! Twitter (will never call it X) has only gotten worse but I have still hung in there because of my friends that are there.
The only reason i use twitter now, that is something i never thought i would say, is because I’ve made friends in a group chat i was added to be a friend for a fandom I’m in. I also like seeing my mutuals’s fan theories. That is IT. I abhorrently hate everything else that’s on it so i like that I’m in my lil bubble about gay pirates. And I’m happy my only other exposure to the cesspool of information on there is through videos like yours, because I’d rather interact with your content than theirs. :)
Kind of a fan of the double exclaimation point. I was in the same camp as you, but a couple of my friends used it and it kinda grew on me. Conveys this punchy sense of excitement you don't quite get with one or three. Like you just saw a cat.
i love writing two exclamation points after a sentence with a space in between the words and exclamation points, just because i find it funny, but i dont think anyone in my life has realized i do it because i find it funny
twitter, like youtube, tiktok, snap, tumblr and all other social media platforms, comes down to who you follow. if you think it's terrible, it's because you follow terrible ppl. my timeline on twitter on it's worst day is better than most comment sections on yt.
Free speach isnt the right to say slurs. You can verbally assault someone and then be held liable for it in a court of law. These people complaining about us not liking them just want everything their way. Like how soverign citizens think the roads and vehicles that took thousands of years of human civilization to invent and build belong to them and them alone. The "free speech" crowd thinks words belong to them and as long as they domt put hands on you they should be able to make threats and harrass strangers
The only thing I care about on Twitter is this one (parody) account for a dead mall that was my childhood. It's honestly hilarious seeing the mall get roasted
I almost choked on my tea when she stared dead into the camera and said “One of you in my comments-you know who you are-keeps complaining that my Inuyasha doll is no longer in view.” It was just so specific 😭💀
I have adhd and my mind is like twitch chat rapid endless thoughts I don't need another source of opinions and random shit flying around in my head I stay off all these social media sites except youtube.
I don’t know if you will see this at all but I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs ever! I love your energy and you’re so funny but you also know when and how to be serious, I’ve watched so many of your videos these last few days and none of them disappointed. A really hope a lot of people discover you and I’m happy that I joined your community towards the beginning of your most likely inevitable internet success!
Can always tell who is addicted and obsessively online by how dramatic they are about social media apps and posts they see on them. Deleting all of them especially let me see how absurd people act on socials.
okay about 4:25, my european ass has French with some other languages on my spellcheck, and there you do add a space before punctuation (! and ?) so my spellcheck adds the space automatically and it drives me crazy cuz it's not necessary for other languages, but I need that function on for comma's and shit 😭
You can't go onto a single post without bought some content farms clocking up the replies and making the site unusable. I use it to follow artists and Jesus Christ is the app worse than ever
I got harassed and bullied for two days straight for saying that I think people don’t like Elon because he has so much money and doesn’t even try to help with the hunger problem
God my uncle is a tech bro and whenever I hear “Elon musk” and “twitter” in the same sentence I get flashbacks to sitting in the backseat of my grandpa’s car while my uncle frantically quotes Elon musk in the backseat trying to drown out my grandpa in the front yelling in his thick Boston accent “AHHHH HE’S A TRUMPAH”
one of my favorite tiktok sounds of the moment is "freedom of speech protects you from the government not me" and i want to say that to everyone who complains about not having free speech
Not really, you can't attack someone legally for words. Different courts will go about it differently based on situations but as a whole you as an individual cannot attack or harass someone for words alone. Atleast in person, you can bug someone online and they'll probably block you but then it comes into question of do you support full free speech or just speech you agree with, 90% of people can't differentiate the two so that's always a mess.
The whole “the law follows what the people want” thing from Elon is hilarious. Like yes in the case of free speech, we want that but don’t try to tell us that the laws follow anything but what the boomers in the government and the 1% want. At least 75% of Americans believe in roe vs wade and that’s still gonna be overturned
The aspect I appreciate about 'X' [formerly Twitter] is if you have a _verified account,_ the user can post videos, unhindered, up to an hour's length. Those same videos posted on RUclips would be blocked immediately or quickly hit with a copyright strike. I have an X account and love the latitude it offers with posting videos, unlike the heavily restricted video platform YT has become. With that said, I utilize X differently than what Gabi describes, as I stay on my 'profile' page and only venture to those other X accounts that I am following. When I log-onto X, I immediately go to my profile page to avoid the random tweets being displayed to my face. That way, I avoid seeing the proliferating memes and trending tweets that Gabi spoke about, which I have no inclination to view.
Rather than delete the platform as you suggest, I propose Elon dedicate it to videos about seals. It is by far the best application of twitter I can think of.
Reject social media embrace nature docs
i would redownload twitter if that became a thing
But then people would just complain about the seals and it would be upsetting. I suggest we dedicate it entirely to terribly wrong conspiracy theories and rename it idiot central. We could make a new, shiny website for the seals. They deserve it.
This is by far the most intelligent solution I have heard in this discussion.

In the other hand Twitter as a platform is not made with the public in mind, it usually pushes people to be in a bubble , so they can see more of what they like and therefore spending more time in it.
So think of how one of the first moves they are doing is making it private, so people can't invest in it. Devs that do things for love don't need a return, but they are gonna let people code for Twitter , but they will pic and choose what will be integrated for the main public.
Again Twitter is not like GIMP or stuff like that, it's a huge company that even deal with political power so it's hard for me to see it really showing it's full code in a open-source way, but instead showing what can be easily customized so people can produce for them, without needing their spendings.
You see what I mean?
(Sorry for the long comment)
I use RUclips and Pinterest mainly, Reddit when I need something and I might only find it there, and Tumblr exclusively for custom content for The Sims 4.
Honestly it feels like all I need. Why people use twitter for something besides nonsensical fun, cute animal content and accessible p*rn is beyond me.
I am literally in an argument right now on Twitter with some dude who created an enemy in his head to fight, completely missing the benign point. DRAGON BALL FANS BE NORMAL CHALLENGE (IMPOSSIBLE)!
I'mma go back tho. I will never learn my lesson until the app is stopped.
i left twitter roughly two years ago and tbh that's probably the best decision i ever made for my mental health. i then went from being somewhat on instagram to thoroughly on instagram, and eventually reduced even that to occasionally shitposting and looking for tattoo inspiration on the explore page of an account which i have curated to have exclusively tattoos on the explore page lol. now i'm just on youtube constantly but at least this algorithm wants to give me content that i will enjoy.
twitter is an absolute cesspool of horrible takes, and tbh if elon buying twitter means more people get off twitter, that's probably for the best imo. anybody who will die on the hill of "i am entitled to free speech = i am entitled to say all the slurs and no one is allowed to be upset with me about it" will probably love whatever elon decides to do with it. if that's not you, you already know that leaving twitter would benefit your mental health, and the choice is yours. obviously i am biased and i seriously cannot recommend enough leaving twitter
the only good thing to come out of twitter is “its morbin time”
"If he makes us pay for twitter, he knows we will all leave right..." well that made me laugh
Elon is as much as a memelord as I'm Batman, which means he fucking isn't, he's the epitome of not funny.
Oh! And hey, if he bought the site only to delete it, that would actually be the first good thing he's ever done! Rooting for him.
Epitome of not funny? While I dont personally find him funny you should probably educate yourself on humor being subjective. The world doesn't revolve around you, buddy!
Just because she called him a meme lord, doesn't mean she finds him funny goofy
@@BadGrief He is objectively and subjectively not funny.
@@demetria-n in your opinion*
@@BadGrief do you know what objectively means?
Damn I absolutely hate Elon man. What a waste of billions of dollars for a supposedly “philanthropic” man. I really hope Elon stans eventually see the light and realize that Twitter will probably just become worse under him
Will see you in few years when Twitter only becomes better
Gonna just comment so that in a couple years I can make fun one of you 2
Just gonna watch you 3 as a neutral
...I personally have not much hope for it, but I suppose I would love to watch which one of you would be correct.
Why are you so into this app? It annoys and drains anyone who uses it and still you are so addicted. It's beyond me but it makes clear why Musk bought the platform.
Just discovered your channel like a week or two ago and I'm catching up on your older videos. Perfect, relaxing bedtime vibes. I hope you never stop making content. It funny, wholesome and sometime educational. 💛
Honestly Elon sucks in about every way. But I don’t use Twitter so mostly this whole thing is just funny to me.
Liberal tears 🙃... yummy 😎
Where’s that one reply
He funded a coup in Bolivia for lithium.
12:50 "he knows we're not gonna pay for it, so I doubt he'll do that" yikes, I wish this was the case
Unfortunate timing to get this one recommended lmao
Oh god. This aged like a FINE wine. *Chef's Kiss*
watching this video a year later is so funny. "I doubt he'll do anything crazy"
honorable mention twitter account "gripping foods with force"
I’m so happy to see your Patreon list grow, you deserve that and so much more! Remember to take breaks and prioritize your mental health. We’d love to see you stick around the platform for awhile Great video as always! Keep up the great work Gabi :)
Elon was so tired of getting bullied on Twitter so he bought it
I’ve never had Twitter or Snapchat. Yet somehow I got TikTok. This really doesn’t effect me at all, but it’s funny seeing people freak out and act stupid.
The best part of this whole video though is InuYasha falling down, I actually laughed. Yashahime is so good right now but I hate waiting for the dub to come out. For context, 95% of anime I watch is sub, I just grew up with Toonami and [adult swim]. I will not disrespect Richard Cox like that lol
Although I have Facebook and Instagram to catch up with friends, I have never wanted anything to do with Twitter. I think its an insane place to be in.
I just want to say I've binged most of your content in the last few days and I think you are one of the funniest people on RUclips, and I am genuinely surprised you don't have a million + subs. No doubt you will very soon, thanks for what you do
YES I AM HAPPY TO SEE INUYASHA! THANK YOU SENPAI!
Also, I was here waaaay before 30k lol.
I quit Twitter after realizing I was sitting there for an hour just looking for comments that went against a topic I was for to "challenge" their thought process. I realized I became the villain...
It's too late for me but to anybody who still doesn't have and never experienced Twitter: DON'T BE LIKE ME! KEEP LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE!!
I’ll try but I hate this world for so long lol
12:54 Aged like milk, "Rate Limit Exceeded" 💀.
NO FRR
that was dumb ...for like the two days it was a thing
Serious question: I actually love the community I have curated on twitter, it’s how I communicate with all of my friends and I was wondering does Twitter seem to only work positively when you have a lower follower count? I have about 1200 followers. I ask because I know that you have recently started to blow up on RUclips so as you have grown in reach has the app become more of a hellscape for you, or has it ALWAYS been a nightmare? Im genuinely curious because most people I know that still like twitter have smaller more manageable accounts. Just curious. Cheers, and brava on the hilarious content! You have seriously been a joy to discover! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
I think that when your smaller, the algorithms don't show your stuff to as many random people so you can curate your experience more. when you get more popular, algorithms push your tweets to more random people who don't get it. Also, maybe your posts arent as inflammatory, and the most controversial tweets tend to be pushed by their algorithms? tldr: i think it's all the algorithms pushing the buttons of the angriest people on the app that makes it such a hellscape
@@marzipan2555 That’s been my hypothesis as well though I still say “inflammatory” stuff & get button pushing crap sent my way too, just not on the level of others! lol
i wouldnt call an account with 1200 followers small for twitter lol. but it def has nothing to do with size, its more to do with what kind of content you interact with. if you interact with political tweets, twitter will show you political tweets. it’s also based on who you follow, a lot of my feed is stuff other people retweeted, liked, or simply from people that my mutuals follow
Honestly I find most niche communities pretty wholesome, though tbh I don’t use Twitter. I personally think it’s bc fewer people are exposed to it so it’s less common for a bad apple to find it, though there’s probably a better explanation for it.
Update: 2024, my twitter account had a few posts go viral and it made my experience a living hell! I now get more useless piggybacked tweets from people spamming crypto bullshit! Twitter (will never call it X) has only gotten worse but I have still hung in there because of my friends that are there.
This video has already aged like fine wine
7:55 this moment was the pinnacle of my happiness
The only reason i use twitter now, that is something i never thought i would say, is because I’ve made friends in a group chat i was added to be a friend for a fandom I’m in. I also like seeing my mutuals’s fan theories. That is IT. I abhorrently hate everything else that’s on it so i like that I’m in my lil bubble about gay pirates. And I’m happy my only other exposure to the cesspool of information on there is through videos like yours, because I’d rather interact with your content than theirs. :)
The Ben Shapiro fancam is one of the funniest things I've seen omfg
The Superman one is true I saw it happen 😔
4:51 it feels kinda weird that 2 years later Musk has actually been on stage in a Trump rally....
I am so happy the algorithm has blessed me with this video and sent me to your channel!!! (Three exclamation marks) Amazing job!
Kind of a fan of the double exclaimation point. I was in the same camp as you, but a couple of my friends used it and it kinda grew on me. Conveys this punchy sense of excitement you don't quite get with one or three. Like you just saw a cat.
Putting Inuyasha next to the candle isn't a fire hazard he's wearing the robe of the fire rat
i love writing two exclamation points after a sentence with a space in between the words and exclamation points, just because i find it funny, but i dont think anyone in my life has realized i do it because i find it funny
the inuyasha doll is my favourite im glad u included him
I came back to watch this in lue of the deal falling through, and I still blush at the call out.
elon said he was gonna buy coke next so he can put coke back in it. hes too powerful now cause he actually might 0.0
he is too poor for Coke if we are honest here
@@vaishnavisingh9244 yeah im just joshin
twitter, like youtube, tiktok, snap, tumblr and all other social media platforms, comes down to who you follow. if you think it's terrible, it's because you follow terrible ppl. my timeline on twitter on it's worst day is better than most comment sections on yt.
Free speach isnt the right to say slurs. You can verbally assault someone and then be held liable for it in a court of law. These people complaining about us not liking them just want everything their way. Like how soverign citizens think the roads and vehicles that took thousands of years of human civilization to invent and build belong to them and them alone. The "free speech" crowd thinks words belong to them and as long as they domt put hands on you they should be able to make threats and harrass strangers
the way gabi went from 30k in 2022 to almost 1 mil in 2024 🎉
2:10 “I’m literally 12 years old” that’s what SHE said *explosion* *incredible beatbox* 💥😎
If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you”
The custom song
The sound effects ripped straight from iCarly
The moldy memes
Gabi, you are what we need.
it's so sad that this aged poorly because he made it so much worse than it was
what pisses me off about twitter is the rampant misinformation, its the worst
my brain is being overloaded just hearing about the stuff that goes on on the app
I'm really glad i discovered your channel.
You should do an update on this one. Twitter is sooooo much worse now. He's filing revenge lawsuits
I agree, poor Inuyasha on the bottom shelf, little dog boy deserves a shelf to himself.
The only thing I care about on Twitter is this one (parody) account for a dead mall that was my childhood. It's honestly hilarious seeing the mall get roasted
6:48 Elon: "Truth Social (terrible name) ..."
Elon: Renames "Twitter" to "X".
I almost choked on my tea when she stared dead into the camera and said “One of you in my comments-you know who you are-keeps complaining that my Inuyasha doll is no longer in view.”
It was just so specific 😭💀
Why are these people acting like 4-Chan hasn’t existed for years? If they want free speech they can find it in that cesspool
i vote we take the upvote/downvote approach where if a tweet gets x amount of downvotes it is automatically deleted.
I can listen to you talk for hours
Me too
I have adhd and my mind is like twitch chat rapid endless thoughts I don't need another source of opinions and random shit flying around in my head I stay off all these social media sites except youtube.
I don’t know if you will see this at all but I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs ever! I love your energy and you’re so funny but you also know when and how to be serious, I’ve watched so many of your videos these last few days and none of them disappointed. A really hope a lot of people discover you and I’m happy that I joined your community towards the beginning of your most likely inevitable internet success!
Can always tell who is addicted and obsessively online by how dramatic they are about social media apps and posts they see on them. Deleting all of them especially let me see how absurd people act on socials.
The only time I ever went on Twitter was to read the blueycapsules comic. Im glad I never made an account, or anything like that.
okay about 4:25, my european ass has French with some other languages on my spellcheck, and there you do add a space before punctuation (! and ?) so my spellcheck adds the space automatically and it drives me crazy cuz it's not necessary for other languages, but I need that function on for comma's and shit 😭
2 years later and...
You can't go onto a single post without bought some content farms clocking up the replies and making the site unusable. I use it to follow artists and Jesus Christ is the app worse than ever
Ranting about Elon and Twitter over the top of old school Animal Crossing music = Subscribed.
What a great video to watch now as Twitter rapidly plummets.
i mean he destroyed it which is kind of like deleting it...
“i doubt Elin will do anything crazy with Twitter” oopsies you forgot who you were talking about
I got harassed and bullied for two days straight for saying that I think people don’t like Elon because he has so much money and doesn’t even try to help with the hunger problem
OMG I love how you described having sprinkles dumped on my almost full cup. That was *perfect*. It is exhausting.
God my uncle is a tech bro and whenever I hear “Elon musk” and “twitter” in the same sentence I get flashbacks to sitting in the backseat of my grandpa’s car while my uncle frantically quotes Elon musk in the backseat trying to drown out my grandpa in the front yelling in his thick Boston accent “AHHHH HE’S A TRUMPAH”
one of my favorite tiktok sounds of the moment is "freedom of speech protects you from the government not me" and i want to say that to everyone who complains about not having free speech
Not really, you can't attack someone legally for words. Different courts will go about it differently based on situations but as a whole you as an individual cannot attack or harass someone for words alone. Atleast in person, you can bug someone online and they'll probably block you but then it comes into question of do you support full free speech or just speech you agree with, 90% of people can't differentiate the two so that's always a mess.
I love the Origins of Iconic Images account, I find it fascinating. I also legitimately laugh at Ancient Memes they are so cute and wholesome to me
I personally find twitter to be a good source for news around the world and thats it really
The whole “the law follows what the people want” thing from Elon is hilarious. Like yes in the case of free speech, we want that but don’t try to tell us that the laws follow anything but what the boomers in the government and the 1% want. At least 75% of Americans believe in roe vs wade and that’s still gonna be overturned
yikes aged too well :(
i love doing " !!" at the end of sentences !! makes my brain silly, it's like the noise a cat makes when they get spooked
The aspect I appreciate about 'X' [formerly Twitter] is if you have a _verified account,_ the user can post videos, unhindered, up to an hour's length. Those same videos posted on RUclips would be blocked immediately or quickly hit with a copyright strike. I have an X account and love the latitude it offers with posting videos, unlike the heavily restricted video platform YT has become.
With that said, I utilize X differently than what Gabi describes, as I stay on my 'profile' page and only venture to those other X accounts that I am following. When I log-onto X, I immediately go to my profile page to avoid the random tweets being displayed to my face. That way, I avoid seeing the proliferating memes and trending tweets that Gabi spoke about, which I have no inclination to view.
inuyasha needs his kagome hes gonna stay grumpy
INUYASHAAAA!!! *kagome screech*
thank you for returning him to view
I think that he watched this video, because today, six months from the upload of the video, i'm certain that he will at least bankrupt it
he's definetly trying to get rid of twitter now
7:00-8:15, the entire video was awesome but I think this particular segment was so true, and something people need to hear
