What if it doesn’t need to?
Chances are 99% of the users use the basic functions, and are just happy with the average twitter experience.
And I’ll tell you what there are even public people that post ok twitter against their will (I’m thinking of journalists and authors that post on twitter because their employer/editor requires them to do so).
Most likely the true value of twitter is the network effect and its critical mass, not much the fancy ai stuff or whatever.
- tptacek 4y agoIt might not need to! I'm mostly not making a value judgement. There's just a narrative about how the layoffs and cost cuts are shedding "bloat". Some of it probably is bloat: Twitter was not regarded as especially well-managed. But a lot of it is stuff that public Twitter probably had to be doing, to satisfy the market, but post-Musk Twitter doesn't need to do.
