at $29 per user, wouldn't it be better to spend $1 Billion creating a replacement for twitter and then giving each new user a dollar or something?

- vthallam 10y agoSo that they can take the dollar and go back to twitter to tweet "how the new company is making a fool of itself?" :)
- nostrademons 10y agoBing tried this - they offered users cash for searching on Bing and buying things. What resulted is that everybody searched on Google to find the thing they were interested in, then searched for that specific item on Bing, collected the cash, and quickly went back to Google. You don't change habits with a dollar or even $29, and consumer habits are immensely valuable.
