- Completely redesigning their UI two times over, - Launching a subscription-based service (which seems to make it the first social media network without ads) - Lengthening tweets to 280 characters - Letting users make money off their following (super followers)

I'm confused as to how any of this makes it stagnant.

As a one man show SAaS with enough customers to basically live my life.. I lol at these achievements.

It’s just an example of the product not being stagnant. There’s a lot of things that go into current Twitter and it’d probably take no less than a couple hundred engineers just to keep the site up assuming no R&D whatsoever. That adds a ton of inertia and friction against changes.

Anyway I’m happy with Twitter’s direction. They’ve gone and made it less toxic, and in fact I’ve recently created an account because it has become a pleasure to use.

Four achievements in 10 years isn't actually a lot, and two of those are just "they added more monetization."

And changing the character limit seems unbelievably trivial.

Twitter Blue still has ads and still constantly fights you to try and show you their algorithmic timeline.

It also doesn't cover multiple accounts - and my side account, when it switches to the algorithmic timeline every other day, is convinced I want to know about pop musicians and inserts 1000 "suggested topics" about the Grammys and BTS I have to dismiss individually.

Twitter's UI didn't get vastly better with the redesigns, it just looked different, which is an example of a company stagnating IMO.
