The whole point of Jack taking over is that what made Twitter unique was not good enough for Wall Street.

- kordless 11y agoI say fuck both of them. How long are we going to let companies being directed by people who want more money keep building software we can't stop using and causes us more suffering than the last version? Wall Street, Jack and their like promise things like "connect with friends" but it's really "look at content that makes us money". The worst part? We helped them do it to ourselves. It's time to think differently about infrastructure software, including social media sites. We can do better, and we can do it in a way that makes all our lives richer, not just the founders and investors.
