    Sure… If you believe what’s best for it is a slow, miserable, yet hilarious death.

      I do, and I’m tired of everyone pretending we haven’t wanted this to happen forever either. Twitter and Facebook gave the rise to celebrity worship that plagues us. Being able to follow their every waking moment like you’re a part of their circle or something has been a pox.

      More importantly, a massive company never dies a “peaceful” way. There’s no “glorious death” for a corporation or entity. It’s always a train wreck of bad decisions and failed attempts to save the ship going under. They do not simply run out of money and go quietly into the night when they are a high profile brand. The nicest death a company this size can hope for is being quietly folded like taffy over and over, into other companies like AOL was.

        I won’t pretend to not be enjoying the shitshow along with you, but celebrity worship has been around LLLOOONNNGGG before social media, and will continue to be so until there are fewer than 3 humans left alive on the planet.

        Yeah… I pretty much agree really.

        It’s entertaining to laugh at as it goes down in flames, too.
