Saudi investment money means none of that is ever ever going to happen. Twitter ain't ever going back from regressive left ideologies. If anything they're going to double-down. The fact that Feminist Frequency is on the "safety council" should tell you enough about it and how useless it is.
How are you connecting Saudi Arabia to promoting feminism
1. Remove post length limit. 2. Limit the number of tweets per day instead. 3. You can pay to remove the above limit. This solves the problem of timeline being unreadable once you subscribe to enough people. Ain't nobody got time to read all that crap. Once everyone is rate-limited, everyone can easily digest their timeline. Without length limit, tweets become more thoughtful. 4. Fix the UI. Make it easy to view repl…
> Ain't nobody got time to read all that crap. +10 to this. The signal to noise on Twitter is terrible. Pretty sure I'm using it "wrong", but my likelihood of following someone on Twitter is generally inversely proportional to their number of tweets per day.
Of course, there are always counter examples, famous people that don't tweet at all, or people posting dumb shit and not getting followers. That tweet to follower ratio has some variation. Quality matters too and it helps if people have a following outside of Twitter.
But still, I'd say that your likelihood of following someone is not representative of other Twitter users.
* Remove Jack from CEO position * Let Evan return as CEO (merge with Medium) ... this will restore Twitter management to the situation around 2010, then ... * Reform or cancel the Trust & Safety council * Restore open API access and app ecosystem * Remove side wide censorship tools, add self censorship tools (a la Gab) * Reverse the timeline changes * Stop pandering to far left ideologues Something like that?
How is any of this gonna result in Twitter making more money?

or >regressive left ideologies.
Layoff everyone except for the bare minimum to keep the company operational (~100-200 people), take it private and print money for 10 years then let it naturally sunset itself.
Craigslist remains an institution, even if its impact is beginning to lessen. Twitter is a protocol, and an excellent one. If it continues to serve as a backbone of public-domain discourse, it can remain relevant for the foreseeable future.
WhatsApp had 55 employees at the time of acquisition, with 0.5B monthly users. Twitter currently has 0.3B monthly users and 3860 employees.
I keep considering TWTR, even had a limit order open for a while, but keep walking away.
2. allow the apps to be used without a login - with the default view showing 'what is on now'. almost every member of my family has attempted to use twitter at some point and just been confused.
3. reformat all the explore pages into ordinary twitter streams
4. acquire nuzzel. their view of 'whats on now' is better than twitter's view
5. drop the video passion-project nonsense. you don't need to own content to use twitter alongside it. strike deals with the content providers instead where tweets are shown alongside (this is already being done) and become a partner to content owners and distributors rather than a competitor
6. improve the core product for users. group messaging, longer tweets, only show replies from people who are authenticated or two degrees away from you by default, etc. etc. (and pro accounts, if you wish)
7. let people pay to get a checkmark, and then let users pay to flair tweets they like
8. better tools for businesses who provide support on twitter. let them pay to use it as a platform and properly authenticate their customers on twitter
9. ditto above but for marketing
