> Twitter et al could drastically improve this issue. While being a public figure is difficult, this kind of thing isn't an inevitable aspect of it: there's clear concrete things you could do that would substantially lessen it.
Sure, but it doesn't make sense to invest engineering time on problems which only affect a tiny subset of users.
Nobody blames the USPS for not investing more in solutions to help celebrities deal with fan mail. I fail to see why Twitter should spend any effort optimizing for the experience of a privileged <1%.
- dagw 11y agoI fail to see why Twitter should spend any effort optimizing for the experience of a privileged <1%. I wonder what % of Twitter traffic is, directly or indirectly, generated due to that 1% of very popular users, and what will happen to twitter if the all go away. And for what it's worth postal services do spend a lot of effort optimizing for people who send and receive a ton of mail.
