| Agreed. > It doesnt help twitter employees happen to be the most vocal, often whiniest, group of people so this is getting megaphoned to death in a way that wouldn't happen almost anywhere else. Yeah, and it's not just employees. Everyone seems to think Twitter is bigger and more important than it actually is. It's got significantly fewer DAU than say snapchat. It's also: - primarily public one-to-many so the social graph is less important than other mutually social platforms. - mostly ephemeral, so the value of historical posts is.. Low. Much lower than say YouTube. - no local communities with independent moderation (like reddit) - primarily immutable text and links, which is cheap and easy to host Out of all big platforms today, Twitter is by far the easiest to replace gradually, imo, with the least amount of upfront resources and least impacted by network effects. |
