Proposal to Twitter: let us own you as a public utility and turn into a co-operative.
- majewsky 10y agoIf this were serious, it were a proposal to the shareholders. People at Twitter might like it to be a public utility, but shareholders will just laugh at you.
- aikah 10y agoAnd who's going to pay for the infrastructure + thousands of engineers working at Twitter ? this isn't realistic.
- overcast 10y agoWhat's unrealistic is the need for thousands of employees at Twitter.
- omouse 10y agoPublic utility doesn't mean no one gets paid. You're the one not being realistic.
- aikah 10y agoYou're the one not being realistic if you really think Twitter shareholders and VC will accept a hair cut to make the corporation a "public utility". That's ridiculous. Twitter is a mediocre social network, just because it is popular doesn't make it "public utility".
- omouse 10y agoNo, you.
