Twitter, and to a degree Facebook have a level of utility that I think will protect them for a bit. If my power goes out for example, I will check the town or the electric company's twitter. If there was a good play in the baseball game I missed, I check the team's twitter. It's an easy way to scoop up information. I think twitter also had an acceptance by traditional media outlets that was helpful, and would take some time to break.

OneEightHundred posted:Well good thing the ability to find reliable information from authentic accounts is about to be drastically hobbled for the dumbest reasons possible. I understand the stuff Musk is implementing is really bad, and especially from lenses like trans rights, healthcare, and having a functioning democracy, I think the changes are dangerous. But I also feel like it’s going to impact the Mets or Duke Energy less. But in the same way that Google is a lovely search engine in so many ways, once something becomes ubiquitous, that’s really hard to break. I haven’t had Facebook in over a decade, but you still see so many local events use Facebook as their main point of communication from people that it’s hard to escape. My point is that I think that for as much damage that Musk can do, and there is this baseline for how twitter exists in the lives of people who don’t even actively use it that is going to be hard to get away from. Also the free market is a lie.

Google+ really should have played the long game.
