People can hold both reasonable and unreasonable opinions at the same time - especially across domains where they may be more or less knowledgeable.
Best to ignore the cult of personality altogether and focus on the merit of the argument.
If you remove politics, and focus on twitter. Then it takes someone a little wild to make the drastic changes discussed. If he makes the blue tick a paid option, promotes free speech from all sides, trims the fat, and explores new product ideas, then I think twitter could be in an interesting place in a year or two.
- prvit 4y agoWait, you think spreading crazy conspiracy theories is “politics”??
- ramblerman 4y agoI'm interested in talking about changes to twitter that might make it more profitable, and not derailing into another politics thread.
- prvit 4y agoBut what does any of this have to do politics? Why are you bringing up politics? The owner of twitter pushing crazy conspiracy theories on twitter is directly relevant to the topic you claim to be interested in talking about, it can significantly affect advertiser relationships (i.e profit). But I guess you have some bizarre political agenda that conflicts with the idea that Twitters owner may be self-sabotaging?
- ramblerman 4y ago> But I guess you have some bizarre political agenda You got all that from "If you remove politics, and focus on twitter."? :) I agree that Musk's behavior is a serious detriment to the future of twitter. Not sure what else you want me to say, I'm interested in twitter (the business) and what a drastic change in their business model might look like more than I am in Musk.
- prvit 4y ago> You got all that from "If you remove politics, and focus on twitter."? :) So far you’re the only one bringing up politics in a thread that has next to nothing to do with politics. So yeah, perhaps that’s a fair assumption?
- tb_technical 4y agoI don't mean to be rude, but you were the one who brought up QAnon
- prvit 4y agoFirst, I wasn’t. Second, QAnon really has nothing to do with politics. It’s an utterly insane conspiracy theory spread by delusional, mentally deranged people.
- kaba0 4y agoYou think this ego-driven manchild will better the platform, when he managed to drive himself into a stupid-ass overpriced buy, firing many of the existing talent and simultaneously driving Tesla shares down? Oh, and don’t forget his very questionable “morals” starting with pro-Russian fiddlings to one of his first tweets post-acquisition spreading fake news.
