So we are going to have an 8chan clone? Imagine an 8chan but only lightly moderated. No one wants to be on that. It's the worst of both worlds. There is a good chance Twitter will go the way of Tumblr - sold worthless for parts.

I totally agree with you, I’m just trying to figure out what a billionaire and a bunch of his anti-woke billionaire buddies think they can do with a platform like this. To their credit I think the network effects of twitter are in fact stronger than I’d like to believe them to be. I also think they themselves don’t want a “free for all hell scape” really, just enough to push some libertarian / longtermist / free speech ideology and hope that they can shape the countries narrative in their direction. Oddly I’m starting to think this whole thing goes back to an old money vs new money struggle. SV wants to pull influence away from “the New York Times” crowd, but I think what they’re underestimating I exactly how unpopular their worldview is.
