Elon Musk’s latest business model innovation is that users need to pay to read tweets.
New users can read 300 tweets a day, unverified users 600 and paying users 6000. Do users get a revenue share for writing tweets now?
This guy is a genius when it comes to bad ideas in running a social networking app.
The idea for Elon is to make sure burdsite takes as long as possible to fail- then twist the failures as being inevitable and seek financial restitution for its failures.
Kinda doesn't work though when the failures are publicly deliberate to anyone who can see past the face value of things.
None of the implementations that have taken place since the change of ownership have done any good to the company. This is being run using conventional business logic- in a market that is niche and not the type of traditional heirloom that can be run by the rulebooks.
But we all know this. The path is set and now we just wait for it to plummet like an atmospheric balloon.
@lucifargundam @carnage4life I’m not totally sure about that, but it’s nothing to do with any intelligence on elon’s part, it’s to do with the regular perception of twitter is from the outside. Conventional business logic may still apply to some degree when every business, news agency, brand still throws your dumb bird mark in the corner of all their printed media, even if the platform is otherwise in freefall. It does create a significant barrier to competitors by externalizing the network effect beyond the actual platform.

<<My apologies if I was being unintentionally facetious by miswording my intents. I wasn't attempting to specify his general intellect, but rather the wisdom in approaching the matter without adjusting the perception.

<< Basic logic, yes. Complex logic that requires meticulous analysis of risk factors and corresponding governing variables that are subject to dynamic changes- no. Especially in today's market when many companies are sinking, others closed, and a lot of other start-ups never launched.
>>It does create a significant barrier to competitors by externalizing the network effect beyond the actual platform.
<< Agreed.
@lucifargundam @carnage4life he’s trying to prevent the egress of data via sites like nitter after having blocked tweet views if you’re not logged in and monetizable. It’s a pretty dramatic step to cut off the nose to spite the face like that, and it likely won’t work no matter how addicted the and unwilling to quit the userbase is over there.
