To some extent I agree with the sentiment. COVID seemed to create an awareness amongst employees that they could have better living conditions. There was a capitulation on the part of employers (especially in the tech industry). Now it seems employers are firing a warning shot across the bow, reminding employees where the power truly lies. Seeing twitter cut in half and continuing to function probably begs questions at other companies about how many folks are “essential”. The macroeconomic situation is probably a factor but one could make the argument that it’s only creating a window of convenience for a little house cleaning. |

It continues to function as an app, but does it really continue to function as a company?
It lost enormous amount of trust on all sides: advertisers, users, developers. My Twitter feed is way more quiet than it was a few months ago. Advertisers are leaving[0]. Some developers just lost access to API (3rd party clients) with no warning.
They also kill/abandon products - Twitter Spaces (their answer to Clubhouse) looks abandoned, and still doesn't work (or at least is not visible) on the web. Revue (Substack competitor) was killed in December. No idea what happened to communities, but I think they're abandoned as well. From creator's perspective, Twitter is very unreliable.
