Musk is fucking up what was a gigantic resource for far more than stupid ragebait. It's just as fast as Twitter. Because you can't release a Twitter post with a link to your story until there is a link to your story. And if there's a link to your story, that means it's ALREADY on the news site itself. Which, if you allow the news site to send notifications, means you get notified of the story the moment it's on the news site.

But after Elon bought it, the amount of users has been going down. It's lost over 15 million users since last year. So it's not going to die instantly, but it's definitely going down if he keeps this up. not only that, it has lost a huge percentage of ad revenue which has always been the way it made money. twitter is losing users and most importantly it is losing money much faster than ever before. it sucks that there are people that put their twitter addiction over their values but it is still slowly failing regardless --- I am thinking about just walking into the river now that Megaupload is gone and condoms are in porn.-Fubonis <cite>andel posted [p:976092537] in UAW goes o...

Who's talking about links to news stories? I'm talking about the news coming straight from Twitter. Twitter is the original source of a lot of stories you see these days.
