Hiring a new CEO won't erase the bad policy decisions that Elon made and what he stands for. Jack Dorsey has a better chance of success since he knows the game. However, I am truly hoping Mastodon or federated social network will succeed.
Twitter has no policies anymore, it's all one guy's whim that subsequently gets translated into a "policy".
What if they aren't bad policy decisions and his critics are too short-sighted?
I agree. People are saying no one wants the blue check mark anymore because it is no longer “cool”. I say give it time. It will become cool again once people realize all the features they can get for only $8.
kind of agree as well. linkedin premium is a good case people will pay for irl video game points.
What features? Pay to be ranked higher in the cess pool along with the phrenologists?
Bold and italic text, NFT profile pictures, two-factor authentication, and you can upload videos that are an hour in length. The list goes on.
The value of the check mark (to twitter and non-verified users) was never that it was "cool", it was that you knew the account wasn't a random bot/troll/throwaway. That's something Musk clearly didn't understand because the blue check now has basically no value at all. The fact that a lot of people think it's uncool to have a checkmark now is just another self-inflicted challenge the company has to overcome.
