Agreed. This kinda looks like rage-bait anyhow. OP’s argument is pretty sloppy, too.
A: Some far-right activists and conspiracy theories are advocating against card-payments and for cash
B: discrediting valid concerns against card-payments.
It’d be a pretty tough argument, but B doesn’t follow from A directly and would need some heavy lifting in between. Also, OP’s post is most def “culture-wars-y.”
I’ll bet a buffalo nickel that this is so Musk can guarantee eyeballs on ads.
Arg: expected eyeballs on ads not 100% because blocking. This shiny new ‘X’ will guarantee 100%.
Tinfoil: If he can disrupt B2B on ads and seize more marketing market share, he looks like a genius and gets to add a payment feature to X. I don’t think he’s very creative and will just remake PayPal with a fuckton of extra steps.
This is so fucking great. I don’t care if it’s spammed everywhere or old news. Parkinson’s jails people in their own bodies and it’s great to see someone break out.
