Seems very very silly to fight this unless you're sure you have damning, concrete evidence that companies are colluding to not advertise on Twitter. Like, many emails between advertisers saying "we're all deciding not to spend money on Twitter" - and even then, I'd think it's entirely in their collective rights to do that.

Or, you have a lot of money to spend and want to try and set some sort of precedent to hopefully end the hypocritical attitudes of these companies. Who knows - there might already be precedent and the droves of internet hacks giving their uninformed opinions (including me!) will be proven wrong?

It's humorous to see companies deciding to throw millions of dollars around to drape themselves in rainbow colors in the west, while simultaneously zipping their lips in other countries who don't share the same sentiment.

It's the attitude of "if it'll make us money, then we'll do it, but if it maybe possibly might result in fewer customers, it's not worth it".

Bring back smaller companies and shatter mega corporations into thousands of individual pieces.

This would similar to advocating leaving Twitter for federated protocols like Bluesky (ATProto) and Mastadon (ActivityPub)
