Honestly probably too little too late. How they didn't try to have a long form product to compete with Substack (especially) and Medium is astonishing. I've long held that Twitter engineers, etc seem disconnected from their own user base.
- boringg 4y agoToo little too late? If they do a better job than substack or medium they can probably take marketshare. Instead of innovating on it they can emulate the effective products and build on top of it. It's like saying instagram's videos were too late to tik tok. It effectively stopped the hemorrhaging and kept market share.
- partiallypro 4y agoNot really comparable at all. Instagram already had videos and stories. Twitter has had no form of long form at all. Even still Instagram user growth is in the tank. Based on this product demo in the gif, it won't be competing with Substack or Medium anytime soon.
