Why Being Partisan Will Ruin Your Platform Or Business

in #news6 years ago


We all know the saying "get woke, go broke." Being partisan will polarize your community and audience and looking at the recent trends in the stock market for major tech companies, you could make the connection between their mass censorship and targeting of right wing accounts has begun to hurt their stocks. It seems obvious to me that pandering to one value set and rejecting others is digging your own grave when it comes to offering a global service and platform.

What do you think of all this? When their investments are hurting, will they start to change their ways or will they ride this out all the way?

Thanks a lot. I took your advice and started marketing my MAGA hats to NARAL and MoveOn mailing lists.

0% ROI on those ads so far, you jerk.

In the short term it will help to pander to one side or one ideology. In the long run it will fail. Now if your business is predicated on being partisan (like selling political apparel), then that's just a niche case.
