This is just people understandably getting excited about a huge discovery. What type of people would we be if such moments didn't get us going?

I'm guessing this is the crappy v1 that barely does what it's supposed to. Still represents a giant leap for mankind

Being the better browser helped gain initial momentum in the 2000s with desktop users, but they took the lead once they made Chrome the default browser in Android. The majority of software users don't change their default settings

Yeah, the proper timing for free consumer internet services was in the noughties and early 2010s. Now you have to grab consumers attention with huge marketing campaigns and that can only produce a good return if the service charges consumer

I'm willing to bet that removing spam from real-time search is a challenge Facebook haven't solved and they didn't want to have any spam issues on first impression

Video games have been gambling adjacent since the arcade era. A lot of casinos even used to have a casino floor for adults and an arcade floor for the kids

This is very US-centric advice. Outside the US, getting VC funding results in a stark difference in quality of life for founders

Yup. Also there's a LOT of influencers who missed the organic growth phase of Twitter and this is their chance to make up for missing out. Such people are going to be power users for sure

And this is without the EU. Twitter must be in a full blown panic right now

If this is a YOLO launch, then Facebook have scale and moderation down to a science now. Hats off, those were very hard challenges in the early days of web 2.0

Facebook was willing to pay $9million for fb.com back in 2010. If this threads experiment goes well, I'm sure Zuck will make them an offer they can't refuse.

The claim that scale makes support impossible is ridiculous. Just make support a paid service and it'll easily pay for itself and scale proportionally. The will is simply not there

Twitter is way smaller than the media makes it seem. It's in the second tier of social media, along with Twitch, Snap and Pinterest. It's not a major marketing channel for any of the big brands with strict brand safety guidelines.

Yes. Original content is an automatic ticket to the top of any niche NSFW sub where you will probably be exposed to a bunch of Onlyfans users

That's probably what you need to do if you're going to sell a AAA game with no DLC

Didn't Facebook Connect fill that identity gap?
