I mean, Hanlon's Razor is a thing, but someone who was actually setting out to destroy Twitter would likely be behaving indistinguishably from Space Karen right now. Just saying.

"Space Karen" πŸ˜‚ Oh God, I'm undone! Right up there with "Phoney Stark".

@kianryan β˜‘οΈπŸ™πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Turns out the "share ad revenue" is literally an MLM.

Also you can't reply to DMs any more if you don't pay, which means it's no longer useful for customer support; one of the few things it was really good at.

@kianryan
Well that explains where the money to pay influencers is coming from. (Answer: The magic MLM money-portal!)

@kianryan I suppose therein lies a problem. While I don’t agree with much of anything Twitter does these days, I can kinda understand the idea that businesses using the platform to offer customer support while not paying does seem like a thing that should have been monetized. There are so many services out there monetizing that exact functionality elsewhere on the web.

@cykonot @kianryan that’s kinda the point I guess. The business should be expecting to bear the cost of that interaction. The fact Twitter didn’t seek to monetize B2C interactions is part of why they’re where they are right now. They never grew the platform into a true business tool and got bought out by a Aparteid Clyde
