It's pretty fascinating to see the conversation here. No talk of the product at all (not surprising, twitter is about a decade behind in product innovation) but it really feel's like this is the perfect product to attack Google and Apple. It takes the most sympathetic group of people - individual content creators, it gives them a tool at a pretty tight margin - 16% and then slams the hammer down on you "30% goes to Apple" so that they can continue to sell thousand dollar phones. But... why on earth is Twitter picking this fight. Have they done it accidentally? They're not at a scale for this to pay off for them, and other companies are already doing the heavy lifting. This is a fight Twitter doesn't need.
