Think about it this way. You're a bagel shop. You don't have the best bagels out there, but your bagels are okay.
One day, Tom Hanks starts coming to your bagel shop. Every morning, he comes in, buys a bagel, and eats it at the counter. Suddenly, people are flocking to your bagel shop to see Tom Hanks.
But Tom Hanks never cleans up after himself. He never tips.
Now you've got plenty of people coming in. They're all here to see Tom Hanks. And they never clean up after themselves. And they never tip.
Do you say something? Do you kick people out who leave bagel crumbs all over the floor? If you do, Tom Hanks might stop showing up. If you ban people who make messes, but you don't ban Tom Hanks, it's going to be obvious that you care more about money than principles or being fair.
Twitter is being propped up right now in a huge way by Tom Hanks, and they need to tread carefully around the situation less they risk Tom Hanks visiting another bagel shop and potentially taking everyone else with him.
- delinka 8y agoI introduce new bagels with a higher price tag. I phase out less expensive bagels. I continue this practice until the crowd thins itself.
