"the brand image" of twitter, lol, go on
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoApparently quite a few HNers think very highly of Twitter... I haven't came across any one that thought most of Twitter was good. It's a cesspool of cancel culture and hatred.
- ericmay 4y agoReally depends on how you use it, who you follow, and other things. It’s actually probably less of a cesspool than most social media sites.
- sangnoir 4y agoYou don't have to follow "most of Twitter". There are countless awesome communities for almost any given subject. There is room for both to be true: most of Twitter (content) is a cesspool, and yet it still is great place id you take care to curate the accounts you follow.
- ricree 4y agoIt's still pretty much the go to place for journalists to mine quotes and sentiment from "normal people". I'm addition, it remains a significant platform for informal celebrity and corporate announcements. People in tech are pretty bearish about Twitter these days (myself included), but there are clearly a significant number of people who believe otherwise.
- shalmanese 4y agoA lot of large companies have used twitter to announce some new product launch of marketing initiative. With the recent spate of fake blue checks like "Nintendo" posting Mario giving the middle finger or "Eli Lilly" posting insulin is now free or "Twitter Blue" announcing free twitter blue if you buy an NFT, I imagine many are rethinking this going forward.
- mejutoco 4y ago> "Twitter Blue" announcing free twitter blue if you buy an NFT To be fair. This happened with Musk’s (and others) real account too. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/15/technology/twitter-hack-bill-gates-elon-musk.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/15/technology/twitter-hack-b...
