I wasn't talking about Twitter's profitability or lack thereof. I meant it was a breeding ground for trolls, brigading, bullying, and disinformation long before Musk took over. Musk made it worse, but it's funny how some people remember pre-Musk Twitter as this bastion of integrity and civil discourse.

I think the comment was in response to the problems that existed before. While this was about the economic problems, it‘s worth considering that both may be connected.
