I hope she has an infinite supply of lipstick because this pig will need it :|

Please don't post unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

With respect, you don't think it's substantive to point out that the new CEO has a rather tall job in order, using colloquial language?

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

I think it was both unsubstantive and flamebait.

None of the boo vs. yay wars that plague this topic are interesting; it's really just "I feel boo" and "I feel yay". We're trying for something else here.

Twitter is doing great.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

Just saying it doesn't make it true. Twitter has a long way to go to regain advertiser confidence, and Blue is barely a footnote.

He's probably thinking of it from a user experience point of view, where there are lots of shiny new features and no big downsides.

Is it though? The new verified system was rolled out really poorly.

There should have been a migration path from legacy to new verified, but instead they just unverified everyone (including obviously government accounts that under the new rule should retain a grey check).

[concordDance]

That's true, but I don't think it effected the average user much.

I must be using a different site from you. Letting people pay to get boosted has turned the top of every thread into a hive of emoji-pasting, cruel, low-effort cretins.

Everyone's twitter feed is different. Mine doesn't have that.
