Day Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 I understand the desire to retain eyes on as it pays the bills.Β The thing is, it's a social media platform, what made it popular was the sharing of content, you would always return to Twitter after. He's now pushing for full articles to be published on his platform, however no journalist will quit their jobs to somewhere with no base rate of pay, where you're reliant on ad view money and a controlled algorithm that can change with his next policy change brain fart to get your content out there. For such a rich man, far richer than I will ever be even in a Carl Sagan live forever world, however his logic in decision making is so flawed in every step it's staggering.Β Stive Pesley and Comrade 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time - shortening links to other sites in bios opened the door for a hacking opportunity I guess if you sack your testing team, and anyone else who may have some actual foresight into impacting changes... I well remember the company my son worked for (who shall remain nameless) getting into financial trouble 20 years ago (huge overheads, posh site etc). Their solution was to sack all the development and maintenance staff (without paying redundancy pay) yet keeping on the sales staff. Three months later, they went to the wall - the final straw being litigation by the sacked individuals. The company basically only had one tangible asset - the maintenance contracts, but of course nobody to fulfil those contracts. The sacked personnel rapidly formed a new company and promptly picked up those contracts. This by now far leaner organisation with everyone WFH (who likewise shall remain nameless) are still going strong two decades later.

Mucker1884 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I have to say, despite not being a user myself, I'm very impressed with whoever decided to shorten the name from "Twitter" to "X (Formally known as Twitter)". Just seems to roll off the tongue now... a bit like when Prince shortened his name to "Symbol (The artist formally known as Prince)". π Β Mostyn6 and Highgate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's paid a lot of money for the specific domain name twice, and seems obsessed with it yet incapable of realising that it really doesn't work as a domain name at all https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.com_(bank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
