...Twitter has a monopoly?

• zhdc1 5y ago
  On what they do? Absolutely. If you combine all of the different 'social media' platforms together into a single category? No.

    What is it that Twitter does exactly? It mostly seems to exist to put out short one-to-many messages that other media organizations can then cite as Zeitgeist. That may not be a monopoly, but it certainly isn't benevolent to the user, and it isn't how it was billed when it was new.

      > What is it that Twitter does exactly? Break news and sic mobs on people. Both activities many people are extremely interested in being a part of.

    I want to remind you that ur definition of monopoly would make every niche business a monopoly. Social media IS a single category.
