1/ Here’s everything we know about the mass Twitter advertising exodus in plain language.

Tweeps are just hanging out in Slack saying nice things to each other until their access is cut off. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Some really incredible people leaving Twitter tonight. We are all worse off without them there

What a bittersweet phrase - not because I’m gone, but because it’s gone.
