I hate Twitter even more...
zoki.
and in case anyone hasn't...checked twitter in a day or two, the entire site is now completely inaccessible without being logged in
Gwiggs
There is a fair amount of speculation that this is because he wasn't paying twitters hosting services https://images.plurk.com/6oFJYPVWFbETGByhd9bGc4.jpg
duck bastard
of course he wasn't
Gwiggs
Which is in line with other reports of how he's run the business and also in line with the allegations in the multiple lawsuits against him by former Twitter employees
Spinner#5940
I swear, I feel like I want to quit Twitter even more
Okapi
it's glorious
Okapi
the biggest self own
duck bastard

...ok it’s official he is trying to straight up kill the site
duck bastard
I don't think he's trying, necessarily, but his overinflated ego won't accept he's fucked up
XmasPhone☎️
Tumblr keeps outliving twitter
papermint tiger
honestly i genuinely don't think he's trying to kill the site
papermint tiger
because that would take forethought, planning, and commitment
papermint tiger
and he has none of those things
papermint tiger
he's just. This. Stupid
papermint tiger
and also a rich nepobaby who has had his ass wiped his entire life and so to him someone will always clean up his mess and that means he doesn't have to worry about silly little things like consequences for his actions
duck bastard
god, isn't that how his actual company is run or something? like you have people dedicated to just patting him on the ass and distracting him from the actual professionals?
papermint tiger
https://images.plurk.com/YQKV4TRRcTCCgKqa2jV7i.png i just saw this too, it sounds like maybe one of the issues is that he changed some code and that fucked everything up because he didn't check with anyone who knew what they were doing
papermint tiger
and yes, by all reports that is exactly how his company is run
papermint tiger
but yeah he can afford to fuck up and make dumb, off the cuff decisions. I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of those got him to where he is today, and the dumb moves he made in the past have been smoothed over and forgotten
papermint tiger
when you're this rich you don't need to be smart
papermint tiger
which is kind of sad tbh
Okapi
lmao I don't think he can afford it at this point, a part of it is him not paying bills/fines
papermint tiger
That's also possible

every time i read these kinds of things, I am more and more glad I closed my Twitter acct
unoiled snake
oh yeah, I know now
unoiled snake
and I don't blame you lol
unoiled snake
time to jump ship for good I guess
duck bastard
if y'all don't mind some homeware spam, i'm here
duck bastard
i reblogged a frog themed tea set at three in the morning last night so you know you're getting quality

Rename the site to honk
transilience
Since it is now being run by a clown who is a goose
00000000
Are geese really that dumb, though?

Geese would win in a fight
HOOUS POOUS

hope you like kitchenware, because that's going to be on the agenda for this afternoon

papermint tiger
that is fucking insane wtf
duck bastard
and that's not even taking into consideration of how your main dash on twitter will often repeat tweets that you already saw way up in it
Okapi
neat I was thinking that
duck bastard
that's the problem i repeatedly had with twitter and why, as it started to break down, I just. stopped looking at the front page lmao
papermint tiger
i never could figure out how twitter even worked but i feel fairly confident saying that Musk doesn't know either, so i'm in good company
duck bastard
don't say such disdainful things about yourself. I have full confidence that, unlike Musk, you would have at least listened to professionals
papermint tiger
LOL i would like to hope i would, yes
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
I’m about to delete Twitter. It makes no sense
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
I need to just start posting art on Tumblr again.
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
Thankfully, I just remade my Tumblr account
papermint tiger
do it!
papermint tiger
tumblr is still here and all that jazz
papermint tiger
i know there's the whole 'no boobs on the site' and all that but you can host it on patreon maybe
papermint tiger
get some money coming your way if you get lucky
✧ 𝚍𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎 ✧
First the slew of unnecessary ads flooding every few tweets I scroll past, now this?!
✧ 𝚍𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎 ✧
and I thought it was weird I could no longer see twitter without logging in. dammit
✧ 𝚍𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎 ✧
can't believe tumble is gonna outlive twitter
✧ 𝚍𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎 ✧
no, honestly, the whole problem is when these platforms get owned by mega corps or brainless billionaires who actually know nothing of how to run a business.
~(=^‥^)_。
tbh tumblr doesn't know how it works either but it at least knows what people will buy like rainbow check marks, crab raves and shoelaces
✧ 𝚍𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎 ✧
/sigh the sucky thing is my tumblr got deleted so I can't use it and you can't reuse the same username either... unlike twitter.... maaaan
papermint tiger
Tumblr gives us the option to buy memes, and it may be the only site that has figured out how to monetize that
Pen Again
Tumblr lets you buy features to enhance your user experience in superficial ways. Memes, checkmarks for the fun of it, etc
Pen Again
You aren't buying features to make the use of the platform palatable (like ad free, or allowing for more data). You're basically buying neat ways to dress up your tumblr... and I think video game skins/outfits have proven that is a very profitable business model
Pen Again
People will resist and workaround "buy to see no ads!" business models. We are spiteful, stubborn, FIGHT ME creatures.
Pen Again
But we are also magpies. And we love shiny shit
transilience
Basically
transilience
"Pay me to stop harassing you" has never gone over well in the history of the species and idk why rich nerds persist in thinking it will
╭╭(V)▽_▽(V)╮╮⛄
"pay me and I will go away"
> "or I could punch you for free"
vs
"pay me and I will give you a shiny rock"
> "omg a shiny rock @_@"
duck bastard
the shiny rock works especially well when it is a shiny rock gotten out of spite
duck bastard
which is how i think the checkmarks worked out lmao
papermint tiger
i do think tumblr has gotten quite a bit of success out of their PvP pay model, aka 'pay to promote this against the OP's will'
papermint tiger
which is also often very funny
papermint tiger
and the amount of checkmarks people willingly pay for is HILARIOUS
duck bastard
people will do a lot of shit for the bit, as it turns out
duck bastard
