2. Don't get your hopes up...

...unless advertising on Twitter becomes a liability for companies it's not gonna happen

9. Good catch. I hadn't thought of that. . . nt

4. The money listens

And as long as the people "boycotting" are doing so from Twitter (LOL) the money isn't going to be too worried. They might make a show for temporary purpose before slinking back on to little fanfare.

Hey, remember when Spotify was going down?

Good times, good times.

Addicts don't give things up because people online stamp their feet.

5. Folks should just use an adblocker. Many good ones are available for free.

Advertisers would be reluctant to buy ads if no one is watching them.

14. How will you know which Twitter advertisers to boycott without going on Twitter?

15. The person posting the OP obviously uses twitter.

It seems there are two boycotts being described in the OP: 1. Advertisers boycotting twitter, and 2. twitter users boycotting advertisers.
