Iāve been meaning to make a detailed post on this for a while now but didnt see the need.
Again, I donāt understand how someones tweet = Elon is doing something wrong.
We need to establish that twitter is a horrible business that makes little to NO money and ontop of that it pays its employees hundreds of thousands of dollars for what?
Twitter is a business that is LOOSING, Itās twitter thatās going down the drain not because of Elons actions but because of the actions of the previous investors and employees
Some people donāt like that he is laying off employees left right and center but how else will he save the business. And again, most of these employees didnt/dont do anything.
Twitters verification system has lost meaning, thereās no real point to being verified.
How has it lost meaning? Itās still the same thing it always was. A blue checkmark
Anyone could pay $8/month to be verified, therefore thereās no real reason to be verified any more.
As long as they verify that people are actually the people. E.g: The real Cookie gets his checkmark, I see no issue with this, it just reduces the requirements for this, of course itās a great way for people to scam. But as long as they do the proper checks it should be fine.
Itās a bit like discords freemium scheme, with 3 discord nitro boosts you get a vanity link, being a discord partner also gives you a vanity link, so itās a win lose situation.
Yes Iāve heard of this. This isnāt just pay to get verified its pay to STAY verified. You dont get verified for paying the $8. The process of getting verified is still there and still hard.
Yikes, look at this.
It may become a freemium platform, weāre not sure for now, but I donāt feel twitter should be earned by one man.
Update: twitter has combatted the fakes by adding a official checkmark.
Iāve got to say, twitter is becoming more hilarious as we come along the way with it. With Elon owning the platform, he is doing anything for making the platform gain money. āTwitter Blueā was an alright update despite it being gone within a couple of hours of being released.
There could be better updates within the app, and there will be when everything becomes better, but as for now the app is funny because of the mess it is in.
Iāve never used Twitter and donāt plan to, at first the business was improving during the start of the pandemic (because of everything going virtual), but ever since Elon Musk announced heād be purchasing Twitter things have totally went sideways.
Twitter needs to get itself together, or else it will break just like how Facebook / Meta did. Elon Muskās overtaking of Twitter did nothing but spark a huge debate.
Oreo!! Hi.
I agree with you. The āTwitter Blueā Was 100% for money. There coould be better updates. But other than that Twitter is pretty good.
At first, I used twitter just for social PR, but right now I donāt have much more to do with it.
