This is a great test, and I think it nails a core issue with not having content moderation. If Something like this occasionally trends, then it’s engaging and a fun joke. Twitter is oddly better for it. If people can game the system such

The one thing this article doesn’t cover is what is Musks strategy for making Twitter more engaging? All the rest of it is … fine, I accept the premise. I have to assume something is going on behind the scenes in terms of appealing to con

Is it really truth if it is rewritten to be true? Maybe before the edit is the real edit. That, and only _that_ is where the true propaganda “lies”

"And then Elon Musk showed up for his first day of work as Twitter’s chief executive officer — technically its Chief Twit — and said “hey, do you have any other contracts I could violate?” Oh, this is going to be a fun read. In respons

I suspect it's related to the recent news that Elon Musk purchased Twitter (Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/27/technology/elon-musk-twit... ). I think some folks may be curious about alterna

One thing he seems to have estimated is the motivations of other wealthy folk he tries to take (or deny) money from.

This is true, and so far Elon is doing exactly the thing everyone says you can’t do with a social network. If he succeeds, it will completely change the space. Also interesting change of strategy during an economic downturn. But I do thin

It would be fun to try and mediate the discussions to try and convince which of the big ego'd celebrities/journalists/politicians are of value to twitter and twitter should pay, vs which are a sink and they should pay twitter

The thing with LinkedIn is that I could see paying for it, because you could make a connection with actual monetary value (The ability to get a job at a higher salary).

I think it's bimodal. Either Twitter is worth like 100$+ per month if you're a journalist/brand, or it's less than 0, and in Stephen King's case he's correct that Twitter should probably be paying him.

Correct, which is odd that Elon responded to him, "How about 8?"

It's such... odd behavior. For sure Stephen King who has a net worth of $500 million dollars does not mean "the price is too high". If Elon is successful, even I will read the business school case study on it, because it fli

In direct conflict to your assertion is that the other _more successful_ social networks don't do this, they put people in their bubbles. Tik Tok is fun to use because it shows me content I want, not the flamewar topics. Jack Dorsey

Say more about this, I’ve sort of come to the opposite conclusion, especially in social media. Generally speaking, the _way_ people express their views in social media has distancing effect for me. In real life? With people talking about
