> The End of Twitter
Pretty black and white. And then the next sentence after clicking through is...
> Twitter might rebound in the wake of Jack Dorsey’s reappointment as C.E.O., but the service is still in trouble.
And the article ends with...
> That doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. There are hundreds of millions of dedicated users (I count myself among them) who still see tremendous utility in the service. ... The company just needs to find the right way to show the power of those connections to a bigger audience, and the value of that audience to advertisers and partners. Not a simple task, but for Twitter an unavoidable one.
Pretty egregiously click-bait. I propose changing the title to something that better captures the article—like "The Current Problems at Twitter".
Other than that, not really much here other than speculation, and the already-known worry about lack of growth. Curious to see how Twitter does, I think there's still chance as long as they quick focusing on revenue above all else, and focus on the experience first. Unfortunately that's not easy to do as a public company.
