Stop trying to make "Fleets" happen

Twitter should just accept the fact that Instagram and TikTok are where people go to share joyous visual self expression, and Twitter is for malignant assholes to scream lunatic conspiracy theories

YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok is where nobodies go to become millionaires, Twitter is where millionaires go to become nobodies

Say what you want about inane YouTube "stars" and IG "influencers," but at least they are making a living out of their inanity and I can respect that.

Twitter somehow keeps every cent out of the revenue created by their users' content, and... I guess I can respect that too

Seriously though, I don't want a more free-speechy alternative to Twitter, I want an alternative to Twitter that actually shares ad revenues with content creators. Soon as somebody comes up with that, I'm out of here like shit through a goose

If Spotify can pay $100 million for exclusive rights to Joe Rogan's podcast, I'd like to believe some social media platform would pay 100 bucks for exclusive rights to Dave's Car ID Service.

Semi-serious #DavePoll: If I completely migrated Dave's Car ID Service to a different free social media platform, would you join it?

to be clear, not asking if you would quit Twitter, just whether you would sign up for another platform if it was the only place you could see or submit requests for Dave's Car ID Service.
