Yeah I assumed the goons talking about "commissioning art" like they're handing out patronages in the Renaissance are paying $20 to be emailed a jpg of some horrific and probably illegal furry porn, not organising a climate controlled courier to transport an oil on canvas piece of abstract expressionism cross country.

It's also a crap case since there are whole websites and ecosystems designed for doing just that. They're weird and creepy but nobody should be kidding themselves that they're too normal for deviantart because they buy all their diaper vore on the same website that's used to broadcast emergency weather advisories.

Is Twitter going to pull out of its current death spiral? I know we're all cheering for it to crater in the most spectacular way, but the way failures usually go is things deflate slowly. Basically, can they stabilize things back at just "lovely", or is this the finale we've all been waiting for?

its less about being too normal for deviantart and more twitter gets a lot more eyes on it than deviantart. i want the diaper vore artists to get a wide audience to help make their diaper vore careers more sustainable.

The most disappointing thing about Twitter apparently rushing headlong into its final collapse is that everyone in this thread predicted it would happen at the end of the previous fiscal quarter. Musk is too incompetent to even make Twitter implode properly.

Technically it did, his bills have come due and he hasn't paid them.

Depends if Elon pays his hosting bills. If he doesn't/can't, he literally can't remove the rate limit on tweets or might even have to get more stringent with it, because of *gasp* people using his site like he wanted them to. The real fun is if people figure out he really is rate-limited upstream, because then the bots can gently caress him proper by scraping even harder.

There are many layers of lovely that it can stabilize to, so the path of gliding to complete irrelevance with unpredictable sudden plunges is what we're likely to see until it's finally sold to the bankers holding Twitter's debt for pennies in the remaining equity.

Great business leadership is when you not only limit how much of your product people can use but you actively shame them for even using it. This is how you retain users and advertisers. We're on the 9th dimension of chess here. Every user second is now precious

Short answer: no

While I think they're inferior to the purpose, I think if this break/policy/whatever keeps going for a few days, you're going to see a bunch of non-politics/non-news communities figure out how to make-due on Instagram, TikTok, or elsewhere. Music/film twitter will probably figure out how to create a few 'fan' accounts on Instagram to congregate around? Maybe sports twitter will take the same approach?

But overall the problem is once Twitter starts bleeding users, it's going to just keep going. That not only makes the site less interesting for its current base, but also puts even more pressure on Elon to come up with some magic trick that's going to pay the loans off because advertisers will exit even faster.

Meta is making a Twitter clone. One of Elon's :eightbux:s said Musk should fight Zuck. Musk jokingly said cage match. Zuck (on Instagram) agreed.

Elon's been playing the whole thing like a joke for his stans. Zuck is probably semi-serious about it because he has fight training and hates Musk.

Several

And I suspect it's because Grimes is the one that's famous and very obviously left him, which is an embarrassment to his ego

Oh ok I guess that makes sense.

Except the part where Musk agreed to it. If he’s actually going to attempt to fight a trained JJ practitioner as a novice, and he thinks anything good will come if it for himself, he’s dumber than I thought

No. Twitter will continue to circle the drain while Lemon tries to value engineer his way out of this (he can't). Eventually there's going to be some big social :airquote: thing :airquote: that people miss because Twitter loving sucks, and then whatever-comes-next will utterly incinerate them <6 months.
