Maybe contrarian, but i miss the 2013-2019 jack dorsey twitter.
- Thread > Articles. You could quote tweet specific arguments. The new algo now kills threads.
- short 280-character tweets forced concise thinking. The art of brevity is super needed in this AI slop world.
- 'For you' reduced the need to follow new accounts, making it tough for new creators to grow. To grow now, you need loud, polarizing, clickbait posts.
- Creator payments distort incentives: Twitter was about organic idea-sharing for the sake of it. Not commercialized attention that incentivizes spam, bots, and rage-bait.
Elon & Nikita turned it into a glorified shiz.
I miss the bird dude
