You wish.
If I were a sociopathic billionaire I would love some degree of global warming. The more you make part of the world unliveable, the more I can charge people for living conditions.
I can create bio domes that have clean cool air and charge people to live in there. I've now successfully monetized clean air.
Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn't work as a loss leader because it's so different from all other products.

I mean IBM is still traded but it's a shadow if it's former self
It CAN BE amazing in certain situations. Ceo tomfoolery is what's making generative Ai become a joke to the average user.
genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?
As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter... used to be for following celebrities but i've gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).
