No one else tried. Twitter has been stagnating drinking the kool-aid for many years.
- ilaksh 5y agoThat reminds me. I bought Kool-Aid yesterday! Mmmm. I could use some cold Kool-Aid about now. I would argue that not a ton of groups can put together a $43 billion offer very easily. So the pool is somewhat limited.
- 650REDHAIR 5y agoYeah, totally. The thousands of Twitter employees sit and twiddle their thumbs all day. Not a single one working on spam or various problems Musk has with the company.
- LudwigNagasena 5y agoTwitter workers are busy applying band aids when Musk proposes a chemo.
- memish 5y agoThey are idle. Here's what Paul Graham, who has a lot of experience fighting spam, said: "Either (a) Twitter is terribly bad at detecting spam or (b) there's something about Twitter that makes detecting spam difficult or (c) they don't care. Based on my experience detecting spam, I'd guess (c)." "Twitter engineering: If you're going to do such a bad job of catching spam, how about at least giving us a one-click way to report a tweet as spam and block the account, like email providers do? It may even help you get better at filtering, since more reports = more signal."
- tick_tock_tick 5y agoI mean do you actually know anyone working at Twitter currently? That's really not that far from reality.....
