how does this even happen

storage, compute power, bandwidth, and a small handful of engineers and outbound reps can't possibly cost that much

Turns out catering to 4chan trolls, neo Nazis, and MAGAets isn't great for business.

Still hoping for bluesky to come out of beta and go public...I'm there now but the userbase is small and there's not really much of a discovery algorithm.

I wonder if bot networks will just eat the cost

That's fucking nothing for a bot network. They're already paying for checkmarks

I would highly recommend anybody who is interested in this subject to listen to the "Flipping the Bird" podcast.

You will learn exactly how dumb Elon's takeover of Twitter was and get the perspective of actual Twitter employees.

It's official. And Musk will set a precedent for other sites.

Well I am a current/old/existing Twitter user, not a "new" user, so that means I don't have to pay?

People said the password sharing restrictions would kill Netflix. It didn't and other companies are following suit. People would say banning porn off Tumblr would kill the site and its still alive and other sites followed suit.
Tumblr took a MASSIVE hit when they banned porn. They have not recovered from it. OF was getting ready to take a massive hit too when they threw the idea of banning porn out there.

It's almost astonishing how bad Elon is crashing Twitters worth.

The sick bit is... he so much money it almost doesn't matter.

Wow.

What. A. Fucking. DUMMY.

I mean come on. COME ON.

How do Musk simps STILL lick the taint after this? How do you defend this? Musk's acquisition of Twitter and his subsequent flaming tailspin has been nothing less than "Burning Down a Business 101".
