Twitter is THE place to be right now. Endless entertainment over the last week or two.

They've lost a lot of marketing money, fucked up the subscription that was supposed to replace it and the only thing holding it up is Elon Musk burning away his money.

It's been very fun as a user! Meanwhile the people who fund the site are backing away and the people who make it run are being fired en masse, trends that do not bode well for its long term stability as a platform.

Musk has fired majority of the engineers who have built and keep twitter stable. Musk running Twitter is not attractive to advertisers who have all left the platform.

It's really which happens first? Twitter declares bankruptcy or Musk pushes up a change and it completely breaks twitter.

Sure he can hire devs who have no experience with Twitter's codebase and not be able to help fix major issues in a timely manner. Assuming he can find any dev who wants to work at twitter at this point.

User end honestly not much has changed aside from everything being even more unhinged than usual.

Business end, they basically pulled the emergency break on the money train and derailed the entire company.

I'm not sure since nobody has provided a clear ansew yet aside from its work force dropping, memes, and trolling.

But just how many few employees does a software service like twitter even require? It's not that far fetch that it can be optimized to function well with not even a faction of its original workforce.

The biggest issue though is the loss of its original ad revenue. So he would need to either find another big revenue stream and or diversify.

Same.

The only change I've seen from Twitter is from the 4-5 comics I follow that make jokes about Twitter dying.

Other than that, my Twitter feed is the same as it's always been. I guess it's a matter of who you follow.
It takes zero effort to be a good person.

Twitter is a social media company, not a software service, they need a ton of employees.

Companies don't hire HR for no reason, they do so because HR is important.

It's gonna go down during the world cup and then there's no one to get it back up/keep it stable.

The world cup is when it's under the most stress and needs lots of people to keep it going, and if Elon has fired everyone who does that...

Yeah, only desperate people would voluntarily go work for Twitter at this point. People who would qualify for those jobs have lots of options.

They got rid of a ton of their staff, begged some to come back and now are demanding they work 80-100 hour weeks while the company has no stable revenue stream

It seems pretty farfetched to me to argue that the biggest social media platform on the planet can be run effectively with a skeleton crew

And we've already seen the failures of attempting this, the failed double verification, the advertisers pulling out, the mass user exodus, the failed Pay for the blue checkmark idea, the fake accounts

Even if you think Twitter is too big to die, the idea that this strategy is working is insane

Twitter was just Twittering itself, last night. "Everyone posting that Twitter is ending to trend / get attention on Twitter"

It could crash and go offline a few times, hell if I know, but it's too valuable of a brand / platform to go 100% offline (unless Elon did that on purpose)
