Waste of time for everyone involved. Unless these guys were involved in some real criminal activity the US government is literally pissing away time and money on trying to send these people to jail.

All social networks have a limited shelf life so even if he stops burning cash it will just delay the inevitable by only a few years.

This is not even wrong. Does the author have any formal training in mathematics or is he just another bayesian rationalist that thinks all cognition is reducible to computation?

YouTube will be the last remaining social media platform because it's the only one that actually makes enough money to stay above water. Every other platform is gonna be gone in the next decade (some probably sooner than others).

The people that care about the content they are hosting on Twitter should request an archive and start figuring out where to go next because one way or another Twitter will have to change in order to make enough money to at least pay the bills for their data centers.

If you can figure out how to coordinate their activities then probably a whole lot but this is a very hard problem. Just knowing how to write code or design web sites is the easy part. The hard part is picking a tractable problem and then getting enough people interested and motivated to work collectively towards a potential solution.

Presumably cryptocurrency protocols are designed for precisely this purpose but I'm not aware of anyone that is using code to coordinate groups of people towards some objective other than accumulating as many points as possible in some imaginary economic game. So if there was a distributed protocol that was designed to align people on developing cancer therapies then that would be a legitimate and useful application of distributed consensus protocols.
