When he bought it, he paid 44B. I read some analyst valued it at 15B a few weeks ago. Has to be worth about 5 now I’d guess. Brilliant moves. The book written about this should be fascinating.
I would love to bet against that working.
Can we resurrect RSS feeds? I liked them
I hit it in like 10 mins yesterday just scrolling through. A few hundred can go by quickly. I am not necessarily reading them all, just flipping through and looking at what catches my eye.
The kids all sue Snap and TikTok though they don't quite serve the same purpose Twitter does/did.
Hard to imagine there was any other intent. He was openly mocking his users earlier today basically telling them to get a life. Can you imagine any other owner/CEO/service provider mocking people for wanting to use their product/service?
Trying to kill it off and take bankruptcy? Probably his final move here I guess.
Maybe. I can’t be political here but I don’t think he ever bought it in good faith. I don’t think his views ever aligned well with the general audience on Twitter.
Based on the reports it was basically insolvent when he bought it. He doesn’t need to sabotage the app to get into bankruptcy.
Same. Twitter had been great for me until briefly yesterday.
That's good PR.
Why would you argue with anybody there lol. It’s unbeatable for breaking sports news though.
New music too
Anything and everything is argued there. Not just politics. Sports, video games, movies, TV, music. If you have a benign easy to agree with opinion, someone will figure a way to take the opposite opinion and label you a racist for disagreeing. It's why I have been off there for a couple months.
It’s not good PR. They have no plan or idea what they are doing. Truly only somebody very not bright would believe his limiting tweets story. They have advertising to sell. The idea fails immediately.
Bro you’re just arguing with bots if you are enganging on there. Site is overrun with them.
Always has been.
He has ALREADY backtracked and announced higher view limits before this thread was even posted.
Well that seems dumb. What was the rationale behind that decision? It seems like it just lowers the salience of the platform.
My guess is for the same reason anyone wants you to register. I get why he wants to do it, but I think it's a mistake, and not going to work, and limiting your viewers while trying to raise ad revenue seems......contradictory.
It only makes sense if your advertisers are only interested in a very particular type of viewer. Which I don't think is the case for a site used by the general public like Twitter.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Stay strong.
For years I've been reading linked Shark Pool Twitter posts without ever logging in or joining. Now I can't read them?
Still seems dumb. If I own Twitter (or whatever), I want people to see it as an indispensable news source. Locking tweets behind registration defeats that purpose imo.
Right I will not get to the limit. Though I follow some local wx weather sites and they are fantastic during storms (which we had Friday night and yesterday afternoon). I believe the one hit their limit saturday for a bit as they post and read damage reports. And since they rely on crowd sourced funding to do what they do…I don’t blame them not paying for the blue check. But they are a great resource especially when power goes out knocking out my streaming of any local channel on TV (yes i then can stream it on my phone…but the wx guys storm coverage is far better).
You are describing the best thing about Twitter--it's real value, real time happenings from sources that are known.
Apparently, I'm in the same boat. Tried a few Twitter links and "sorry something went wrong" and "try again."
Is this super-new? Twitters throws up a register/log-in screen but as of a few days ago … it’s trivial to read tweets without a profile.
Here‘s to keeping hope alive.
