Sounds about right to me.
PlentyOfFish was run by one person for years. Moot ran 4chan with the help of 1 part time engineer. Whatsapp has 55 employees and over 2 billion monthly active users.
I get that Twitter has some unique challenges like handling tweets from celebrities with millions of followers, but there's no reason it needs thousands of employees.
- genmud 4y agoPoF was orders of magnitude less complicated than twitter is in 2022. It’s also much more complicated than whatsapp was prior to acquisition by FB too. Off the top of my head, twitter has multiple media types like video, live streaming, an ad exchange, data analytics tracker and embeds in websites.
