It’s clearly inspired by Twitter. Which bothers me a lot. Who would follow ANYTHING that Twitter does at the moment? Twitter currently has the worst leadership in its history. Every decision made by twitter in the past months have lowered the value of the site, not the other way around. Twitter is currently worth about $15 billion down from $45b a few months ago. Why would any company try to copy Twitter?
- prothy 3y agoTwitter was never worth $45 billion. That's the price Musk bought it for and he tried to backpedal when he realized it wasn't worth that much. It's a technicality that just adds to your point though.
- fragmede 3y agoIn a world of Verblen goods, which includes $30,000 more-esoteric-than-Rolex watches, what does "worth" even mean? It's not like there's a vibrant market for Internet businesses that underpin online communication to discover a market optimal price. Musk wanted to buy Twitter, and wanted a discount. He threw whatever language he could at it to try and get the price lowered. It's not like you can go to the store and buy a Twitter or Discord. You have to haggle to come upon a price that both parties can agree on, which is a foreign concept in the western world. Things are worth what you're willing to pay for them.
