That isn't a solution, because people who want to have a memorable/unique username are not interested in sharing it with others, and they will move to a platform where they don't have to. Probably part of Twitter's appeal early on was the ability to get there early and grab up an account like @cookies or @milk.
- woojoo666 4y agoI guess we as a society have to decide if we want a market on usernames. I don't think we need it. And if the majority of users agree and switch to a platform that doesn't value usernames, then the few people trying to monopolize usernames (like the people who swarmed to twitter to grab handles) will be left on a barren platform.
- phendrenad2 4y agoAbsolutely. I only said that what was referred to as an "easy solution" isn't.
