Ok, what do those numbers actually mean?
Twitter has 200M "monetizable" DAUs. The poster suggests that spending $1B would move those users and those users traffic over. That implies that $5 in some shitcoin would be enough to make people switch to this app. That does not seem plausible at all. If acquiring and retaining users was that easy and cheap, there would be a lot more major social networks around.
Twitter in 2014 had 500M tweets per day. How long a time period will the $1B be distributed over? The poster doesn't say, but let's assume a year. That'd be about 5 cents per tweet. No real users would care about that. If anything they'd be insulted. But botnets posting spam would have a field day with it. It would of course be botnets that the company would have no way to fight, since with this distributed scraping idea they'd struggle to collect any kind of abuse signals related to the actual tweets/likes/other monetizable events.
This would never work.
- jrmg 5y agoI think that in the mind of people that think this will work TWITCOIN is _obviously_ going ‘to the moon’, and will be worth 1000s of times what it was at conception, because that’s what crypto does.
