tldr: Twitter’s ex-head of safety says Apple and Google have the real leverage because they presumably don’t want to be associated with the official platform of the American Nazi Party and lol if Twitter gets pulled

I know this is all wishful thinking and there’s 0% chance it would ever come close to happening

It seems to me like Elon’s coke-addled dream is just to pull the plug on advertisers and get all the revenue from EIGHT DOLLAR SUBSCRIPTIONS, because that way he’s not beholden to anyone telling him you shouldn’t be paling around with literal white supremacists

or elon could melt down over a reviewer rejecting a patch because “I typed boobs into the search box and got boobs” and delete the iOS app tomorrow who knows

i mean, with subscriptions still "on hold indefinitely", and advertisers fleeing constantly, how long until twitter just has $0 income? where does their non-ad money even come from, if they have any?

from the verge:

quote:

Elon Musk cuts more of Twitter’s employee perks.

Company allowances for employee wellness, productivity, home internet, training and development, Outschool, daycare, and quarterly team activities have all been discontinued, per an internal memo I’ve seen. “Allowances will be reevaluated over time and may be added back when the company’s financial situation improves,” it reads. More hardcore!
as predicted but still lol

gonna make hiring and retention real easy for twitter. come grind startup hours and chaos in exchange for no perks, no wfh, and no equity!

probably from selling API access and the firehose stream

wasn't twitter bragging in the lawsuit about how they comped elon's bot team with API credits since they kept running out, to demonstrate how they were bending over backwards to facilitate access to data

with the latest tweet about how verification* works we're 1-2 days away from a Trump-style tweet about how "No-one ever thought it would be this difficult. We simply had no idea and it turns out it's really hard. Everyone is talking about how hard it is but I can solve it"

*not actually verification

This will of course not work because I don't know what probate means and therefor I have no conception of your imaginary intentions and therefor, said imaginary intentions cannot be imagined and thus imagined me cannot be probated with your imaginary unlimited money.

the only good legal is the stuff giving people rights and protecting stuff from assholes

Edit: I don't want to know what probate means anymore. Especially not from the mods. I'll be good.
Edit: If its 100% essential, can you at least make the little note cute and fun so we both laugh about it. I feel sad now.

she asked what kind of handle i was looking for on my cai dao

i said that i thought it was appropriate to have a chinese-style of handle on a chinese-style knife

this was not the right answer

and to be fair, yeah, it was a stupid reason, use whichever works better in your hand (which happens to be the traditional handle)

subscriptions can work for twitter, but you can't pull enough money out of verification, even if you don't actually do verification.
you'd have to charge normal users. but you can say goodbye to the middle east, asia and africa if you do that.
selling europeans and americans a twitter subscription for thirty bucks a year is possible

but then you hit all of the problems sa has figured out over the past decades, like the two big ones that you'll immediately need to deal with:
- do you want people to be able to evade a ban just by paying?
- chargebacks when you ban or suspend people

selling people a spam and scam license for $8 just isn't going to cut it
