and Twitter is bleeding money like anything, unable to retain users and advertisers. You may end up with less servers but not necessarily a stable and functional system.
- sillyfluke 2y agoTwitter is bleeding money in part because the owner refused to play ball with advertisers moderation demands, and the majority who don't see any downtime on twitter consider it more than "stable and functional". And for the owner, who probably thinks he's co-piloting the strongest government in the world right now and attributes part of that success to the platform he controls, it is functioning magnificently. ..and that is all that matters to him.
- janalsncm 2y agoIt makes sense when you see Twitter less like a traditional business like Apple (whose goal is to turn a profit) and more like a means to other political ends. Twitter punched way above its weight in cultural influence given its relatively small user base. Being profitable is a perk, but not the goal.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 2y agoExactly right. Twitter is a 2x kingmaker (2016 and 2024). The current owner likely thinks that the bleed is worthwhile.
