Summary

Twitter Is DYING And Jack Dorsey Is Just Making It Worse. Was Jack Dorsey on Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, and Gad Saad's channels because he is desperately trying to stop Twitter from dying?In the past several months Twitter has been experience a loss in users. So much so the company changed the way it reports active users so it looks like they are actually growing. It seems that jack enacted far left and leftist policy in order to "create healthy" conversations but what they really means is that he is playing a numbers game. More people on, less people off.But Twitter's biased rules means that he is going to lose people no matter what and he doesn't care how it impacts society and our government. It may not be that Jack himself is far left but that he is catering to the regressive social justice crowd in an effort to maintain user growth. Conservatives will stay on if they can but the regressive left won't, they will leave like Wil Wheaton did with a temper tantrum.

0:00.0	As many of you probably know, I was recently on the Joe Rogan experience with Jack Dorsey,
0:04.6	and many people were curious as to why Jack would actually come on this platform
0:09.0	and confront me or have a discussion with me when they clearly would have known I would present
0:13.8	them with some impossible questions they couldn't defend. In many circumstances they couldn't
0:17.9	defend them. I don't think I did a perfect job as a lot of things I wasn't able to bring up,
0:21.3	but a lot of people appreciated that at least the conversation happened.
0:24.4	Now I think the reason Jack had the conversation is because Twitter is dying.
0:29.4	According to several different metrics over the past year and even recently released by Twitter
0:33.9	themselves, it seems like they're actually dying. They're not that relevant, but they do hold a
0:39.4	certain amount of influence in our political landscape, which is why I'm so concerned with the issue.
0:44.0	Jack, it would seem, is trying to maximize the amount of people who use the platform,
0:48.4	and that means getting rid of people who hold opinions that might make people upset.
0:52.8	But where does that bring us? It would seem that the demise of Twitter is absolutely inevitable,
0:57.8	because banning people makes them and their friends want to leave, and not banning mean people
1:02.8	makes other people want to leave. So what's your solution? Apparently it's nothing. I think Jack
1:07.6	decided to have the conversation with me, Sam Harris, Gansett and others because he knows he's
1:12.6	losing users on a certain side of the cultural debate. And it seems like there is no solution to
1:18.2	guarantee the continued growth of Twitter, and it's only going to continue to become less relevant.
1:23.3	Today, let's take a look at some of the recently released news about Twitter, and I'll go over
1:28.4	some issues with Silicon Valley, and I gotta say I think the era of the tech oligarchs of Silicon
1:34.0	Valley having so much influence in politics might actually be coming to an end, but this we'll see,
1:39.1	we'll see, let's look at the articles, let's just jump right into it. But first, make sure you
