I am kind of surprised there isn't a media company with a twitter clone.
We're your one stop shopping for information. Want to know what Jones bought today? Here's a picture they uploaded (to their feed or w/e)! Want to know what the weather is? Here's an account for NYC weather!
It's a bit risky slotting ads next to random people's content but you'll know which feeds are very commercialable. The weather feed is always going to be SFW, etc. Plus you can always use unfilled ads slots with ads for your own content (just focus on ads for the lower tier-content to avoid associating Greys Anatomy with some beheading video).

- lesuorac 4y agoIIUC, you're referring to Notes [1]. I'm not familiar with it but mostly yes I think so although I was thinking more of a legacy media company from the one thousands.

- Turing_Machine 4y ago> I am kind of surprised there isn't a media company with a twitter clone. The same reason there isn't a traditional publisher with an Amazon clone. One-stop shopping does win, but very few traditional media companies would willingly distribute content for their competitors (probably you could replace "very few" with "none"). Even if they were willing to do that, the antitrust people would be on their butts in short order.
