exploitation is a chain sir, even if the billionaire doesn’t directly exploit someone for profit they surely profited from someone being exploited.
You’re right Twitter wasn’t a great functioning business - in fact it barely qualified as a poorly functioning one so changes were necessary. Purging ~60% wasn’t genius; it was plainly obvious.
Yea. Ultimately the trick, as with other social media, is just to avoid toxic people and avoid trending topics as one would avoid the plague. My experience with twitter isn’t bad anymore, but only because a few years ago I went from 1000+ people I followed to the current 140, and none of them is toxic/political.
Yes. And Steve Jobs is MERELY someone passing off Woz’s hard work, innovations, company, and ideas as his own??? Idiots that sit and home and are “convinced” that others are behind moving the world to nothing are sadly the ones that never will. (But you kept your nonsense to less than 280 characters at least.)
That’s the question I have. I hope they show the first 250 characters and have a More button, otherwise it’s going to be impossible to scroll.
The fact many won’t is a reason weighing against my using Twitter if the character limit is increased too much.
Let’s hope it’s left and right wing extremist echo chamber lovers pay dearly for it. The internet needs social media, otherwise the lack of clowns would have a productive impact on western society.
I wonder if this is a step for actual post monetization. No idea how it would work, but if people (journalists, etc) could make money out of long posts that would actually improve Twitter.
I routinely read way more than that. It’s all about how interesting something is. I bet that 99.9999% of twitter posts will remain well below 1000 characters.
More characters now
