- The decline in reputable advertisers on X has made the platform more reliant on less reputable ad buyers.
- The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk’s controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

Ten is a terrible site anyway.
Please don’t associate Xitter with the ancient Romans. They never hurt you.
This heavily depends from which geographical region you’re from. They were the champions of imperialist colonialism for a loooooong time.
Hell, I’d broaden it to the whole world because the Romans popularized Christianity, which pretty much immediately kicked off millennia of religious conflict. Christians vs “pagans” (which wasn’t one single group), Christians vs Christians, Christians vs Jews, Christians vs Muslims, Christians vs all “pagans” in the world (and their history), Catholics vs Protestants, church vs science…
Maybe Christianity would have risen without the Romans, but it wouldn’t have had such a powerful papacy without the Roman legacy. And as much as I hate religion, I have to admit it wasn’t all bad; if it weren’t for the clergy, even more Roman knowledge would have been lost and education in general through Europe would have been worse. Maybe. Islam did have Christianity beat for education and progression for a while, and the church did have a habit of condemning science that contradicted the idea that we were special in every single way.
We’re all victims of Roman jurisprudence
What have the Romans ever done for us?
The aqueduct.
Yes, they did give us that, that’s true
And sanitation Yes, that too
The aqueduct I’ll grant is one
thing the Romans may have done
And the roads, now they’re all new
And the great wines too
Well, apart from the wines and fermentation,
And the canals for navigation
Public health for all the nation
Apart from those, which are a plus,
what have the Romans ever done for us?
Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that’s true. Yeah.
