Twitter feels less like a social network and more like just a tool.
- rchaud 4y agoYes, they sell ads. There is no other way to make money in B2C software because the users themselves don't use it to make money.
- krapp 4y agoA social network, like most websites, is just a tool. Setting aside all the spicy hot takes about "discourse", politics, free speech, censorship, addiction mind control, etc, most of which is overblown, A social network is just a tool to allow people to form persistent connections with each other and communicate, or consume curated content.
