Elon Musk is part of the problem. I don't use or support X anymore than I did twitter

40. I create Lists & only view my Lists.

For example, one List is all the news sources I trust, so I can easily see & scroll through the latest headlines. Another List is for legal matters, folks who follow & report on court cases, plus attorneys & law professors etc I like. Another is all pollsters & poll analysts so I can easily see the latest political polling every day.

By using Lists & only viewing my Lists I don't have to wade through all the random right-wing garbage.

Also, advertisers pay per engagement. Viewing & responding to their ad (making a comment) only costs them a few cents, but clicking on a video or web link costs them around 25 cents to 50 cents. So every time I see a right wing ad I click the link 20-30 times at least, so I'm wasting their money & reducing their exposure. Most have an ad budget, the total they'll pay for engagements, so if I use up 30 engagements worth of their budget their ad will show less times & reach less people. By now I've cost official GOP accounts hundreds of dollars & sabotaged thousands of ad exposures.

One added benefit of doing this is that some accounts apparently figured out what I was doing (heck, I would leave comments & tell them "I'm engaging to cost you $$$, now I'm going to click your link 30 times.&quot & I stopped seeing their ads. So, it's a good way to cleanse your ad feed & make the right wingers pay for it.

If enough Democrats did that, then every time a right wing organization ran an ad we could use up their ad budget on the first day & shut down their advertising. Some (many?) of those advertisers might question the value of giving their money to Musk for ads that were producing no results, which could help cut off one of the main income sources for Twitter/Musk. Twitter's income is already abysmal (down 85% since Musk bought it) & there are reports that soon Musk is going to have to sell a bunch of Tesla stock to prop up Twitter (taking money out of his own pocket), which will drive down the value of Tesla stock.

So, if enough Democrats got together on Twitter we could waste the money of right wing advertisers & sabotage their ad campaigns, reduce Twitter's ad revenue, pushing them closer to bankruptcy, & force Musk to use more of his own money (Tesla stock) to prop it up, driving down the value of Tesla stock. But why would Democrats be on Twitter?
