My goodness, we have watched so many famous people make their grand exit from Twitter claiming they simply CAN’T be part of something that is so racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, homophobic, or whatever other ‘ist, ism, or ic’ they’ve come up with to avoid explaining the real reason they’re bailing.
You know it’s really pathetic if they’d rather people think they oppose free speech than just admit the real reason.
For a looooong long time, these famous people weren’t challenged in any way FOR REAL about their opinions or ideas because the little people were kept at bay by the ‘babysitters’ at Twitter. God forbid they actually try and think for themselves …
But you know, there’s more. Yup.
They also no longer have a ‘canned applause’ track to play for them every time they tweet.

Walter Kirn has it figured out:
Twitter pulled the canned applause track and a number of well-known figures here who can't hold a real audience are fleeing. They are pretending it's out of principle.

Yup.
They’re pretending they’re TOO GOOD for Twitter under Elon Musk when in reality, they’re terrified of dealing with what people really think of them.
Not a great look, like, at all.

Never seen a more insecure, needy group of people than Leftist celebrities on Twitter.
The best way to build a huge audience on this website has been to pander repetitively to one tribe or the other. But that is boring. The truly influential people are, over the long haul, credible because they remain unpredictable and therefore interesting.

Fair point.
For some people, life and reality are unbearable without canned applause.

Hey now, some of those sitcoms were totally rad.
Jim Carrey, Moby, Whoopi Goldberg … not so much.

PS: I know this is totally nerdy but my father-in-law joined Twitchy VIP today and I just had to wave at him …
I’M A DORK, DEAL WITH IT.
Fine, I’ll wave at all of you awesome VIP peeps who keep the lights on for us as well.
