Most news outlets used to have RSS feeds which, once upon a time before it was removed from a lot of big websites (such as news outlets), allowed lots of people to get a feed of what was published. It worked for a lot of years and, if kept up and published, it could probably have given Twitter a run for its money. You could share the feeds you followed or even build public feeds from that (there are stil a bunch of them, mostly named after planets, for very niche things), so you could have a network effect.
Twitter doesn't have a paid service for users (it has paid access to their API, just in case somebody on this site still had doubts about what really is their core business), I was just making a (probably poorly phrased) example.
- shard972 6y agoWhat an asinine comment. Not in a million years do you believe that the NYpost keeping RSS feeds around would have created a network effect, forget it being even in same universe of scale as the networks currently being discussed. Maybe you don't know what the network effect is then i guess I forgive you, but otherwise, why if your so concerned about false information would you just make shit up like that?
