Everything you're saying is absolutely true. The idea that cutting off third-party clients is something radical or something twitter didn't desire to do a long time ago is laughable.
All of the people gloating about how much Musk overpaid when he was forced to buy their favorite thing should have expected that as a result he'd have to do anything to squeeze revenue out of it.
> That was never a rule, and they removed the last vestiges of the guideline entirely a couple years ago.
I wasn't aware that traces of this guideline lasted until just a couple of years ago.

It's not at all radical, and if it'd been done with a month's warning, I think there'd have been grumbling but that'd be about it. Destroying a number of small businesses without warning (and letting them swing in the wind for a week waiting for a "why", and lying about them breaking "long-standing" rules) in this nature was entirely unnecessary, and is what has generated the backlash.
- pessimizer 4y agoAbsolutely agree. It's chaotic, but the reason Musk owns all of these big companies was because of luck and financial prowess, not any talent for management.
