No, considering it negatively affected tech workers and gave plenty of companies more justification for layoffs and enacting PIP culture. In addition, you need more than engineers and product to build a team, and cutting an excessive amount of people who handled other things on Twitter such as content moderation and security only degraded the platform and made the user experience all that much worse. This includes making the site lurk-unfriendly—meaning that large swaths of information that could be found on Twitter is no longer accessible without signing up for the platform. I’ve never used Twitter before the takeover, and I certainly won’t use it now. TC: 105K
Well how would you know if you don’t use twitter. You’re making up garbage. It’s way better now than before.
>content moderation Nah. Getting rid of modern censors was one of the best things that happened to Twitter.
How is “I actually use X” mutually exclusive with the other options?
It worked apparently.
Cut too deep
I mean the website is running, but bots have multiplied tenfold except now they're pushed up to the top of the discussion with their dumb blue checks. Also it's hemorrhaging money, more advertisers are pulling out by the day, and the owner is having public meltdowns in interviews so I'd say it's going pretty much how you'd expect firing 80% of a company to go
What website are you using? The bots were sooooooo much worse before
Lol
How do we define work?
"it's still running" doesn't mean it worked. I mean MySpace is still running too and doesn't mean it's successful. Would need to look at whether it's making money or not...
the cut is unrelated to growing users hence it worked if it’s still running. Growth will be a different campaign that still apparently doesn’t need that much additional headcount
The bugs and other engineering mishaps contributed to users leaving. He fired everyone working in safety and users felt less safe. The processes on the back end that prioritize what you see contribute to user engagement. Tweets failing to post means less content. He even had to cut off access to users who weren't logged in because he couldn't keep the infra up. Less people seeing tweets obviously meams less users and engagement. Bot nets are shut down by teams of engineers. The site doesn't even reliably work. What's the point of having any employees if you can't relate employees to users? If there were five employees left and five users visiting a php page musk himself wrote, would you still say the users didn't leave due to the cuts? It takes work to maintain such a user base.
It definitely worked. I remember the articles saying twitter would break apart in 6 weeks. Bad news for us though. Now CEOs know most workers are costing. The market got layoff happy due to Elon
The website actually broke apart several times this past year . They were masked as limiting features for none paid users
The layoffs were mostly fine, twitter is failing because he can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth and picking fights with the dominant left wing corporate-media-govt alliance.
“Left wing corporate” when Deleuze and Guattari called capitalism fundamentally illiterate they meant you specifically
I've never seen a more politically and socially iliterate group of intellectuals than the tech bros. Please research what neo-liberal means. Spoiler: nothing to do with anything on the left
I mean, shit is still running… so from that perspective, it did ‘t fail.
I can no longer see replies to tweets unless I'm logged in.
