Twitter must be a platform for everyone. It cannot be a ghetto for the right, or the left. There’s a reason platforms like Gab, Mastodon, Truth Social and others fail to gain any traction with anyone—let alone advertisers.
Translation: Ghetto for the Right/Left = free speech where either side can share their views
Translation: fail to gain any traction with anyone—let alone advertisers = it's all about money to us, we're monetizing your movement for our financial benefit
I don't know about mind control, but it's certainly "practically applicable propaganda and confidence huckstering". And yes, by that alone, they are the enemy.
The stated purpose of advertising is to turn a no-sell into a sell. Good advertising does this more often than poor advertising. Perfect advertising would generate a sell any time someone interacted with it. If showing someone a set of sight, sounds and other sensations causes that individual to preform a specific set of actions, then that is mind control. Thus, perfect adverting is mind control. Since less than perfect advertising is not always successful then it is only attempted mind control.
I don't agree with this based on semantics. Mind Control isn't just about getting someone to preform a perfect task, but a loss of free will entirely. Mind Control means that they literally can't make a different choice, where as deception, coercion, subversion, persuasion, and trickery all simply manipulate people into making a different free choice. The choice is and always was there's to make, but they have been manipulated into making a free choice that benefits another. Mind Control doesn't allow for a choice at all.
Under your definition, fraud and coercion would also be mind control. If you put a gun to someone's head and tell them to give you their money, they will give you there money. That is the set of sights, sounds, and sensations that causes an individual to perform a specific set of actions. That is not, however, mind control because choice is still applicable. It is no longer a free choice under coercion. It is still a free choice under fraud. Neither are mind control because a choice is possible. In fact, mind control can go as far as still having a conscious victim be aware of the mind control and be unable to prevent it, showing that the ability to make any choice at all is the key part of the definition of mind control.
Until the people running websites figure out that literally every single problem you can have with them is directly caused by leftists, things will keep getting worse.
But the amount of subs and pages elsewhere, including both versions of KIA2, that just unironically post his takes and comments has been pretty strong for that near decade since GG started. So he probably has plenty of followers (from people who care enough to be on this side of the "culture war" but don't care enough to get off Twitter), and has zero presence anywhere else.
I noticed it from day one. Everyone craved ecelebs, and regular celebs, to be their talking heads. It was almost pathological the need for approval.
And after they catapulted all the retarded SJWs and game journos to minor stardom, those same guys turned on them. Rather than recognize that problem, they just repeat it but now Red (ish) instead of Blue.
I mean, fucking Ethan Ralph was a GG figurehead once. That alone stains the entire history.

Lol I see Nina Infinity there in the comments telling Ian to get off his knees.
He'll never do that.
It's all about the money for these people - OUR MONEY.

This guy's so stupid he donates money to the world's richest man.
Advertising Is The Enemy
The whole industry is an enemy faction. Do not tolerate them.
Advertising is attempted mindcontrol. Occasionally it is successful. For that alone, they are the enemy.
I don't know about mind control, but it's certainly "practically applicable propaganda and confidence huckstering". And yes, by that alone, they are the enemy.
I think I can explain it more clearly.

That was probably her biggest selling point. "I can make Twitter the biggest whore you've ever seen."

IMC has been well-known to be a grifter for years.
He was a joke at the beginning of GG for being a flip floppy guy clearly out for the grift.
He just managed to outlast all the people who remembered who he was and let "um BASED?" people catapult him to Z-list fame for saying basic shit.
I bet he has been artificially boosted by bot accounts or something too.
I don't doubt it.
But the amount of subs and pages elsewhere, including both versions of KIA2, that just unironically post his takes and comments has been pretty strong for that near decade since GG started. So he probably has plenty of followers (from people who care enough to be on this side of the "culture war" but don't care enough to get off Twitter), and has zero presence anywhere else.
Indeed, our "scene" or whatever you want to call it has basically no standards. If you just say "based" things, you'll get upcummies.
