Someone asked why we allow brands and promotion in our feeds. Some of the greatest things about the bird were. Small Businesses and Individuals met on the same platform as corporations giving them an equal ground but more importantly...
It allowed us on mass to hold business accountable. We took to their pages in protest! We changed the way their business operated by using the same platform they used to reach us! We became unignorable!
If we don't let them talk, they will no longer listen!
Put simply, they only cared about our opinion over there because they were using it too. If they are not having access to this, we can hashtag all day and they won't even open the page.
There is a difference between letting a corporation use something and letting them run something and the moderation is important.
So that's about it. Why we think it's important to allow businesses to have a voice.
