Totally agree with your sentiment generally but Facebook made boatloads upon boatloads of money.

It shouldn't be work at all. It should just be people following people they want to hear from. IMO, there shouldn't be any companies or brands or organizations on it at all.

Just... people. And not "people as corporate entities", just personal stuff. People talking about their day, sharing their personal takes on things, or opinions of things. No sponsorship, no branding, just people.

As for how to fund that, good question. Twitter tried to figure it out for years, and never got it right. But online personalities were never supposed to be a thing. Follow who you know or want to hear from. That's the core of it, and breaking away from it is what causes them to become terrible experiences.

Yeah but Twitter has gotten so much worse. It used to be 30% trolls, "entrepreneurs" and cryptoshills and now it's like 60%.

It used to be somewhat enjoyable to read through tweets about recent events.

Yeah but you release a new thing with the same problems of 2012 then its kinda sad ngl. Threads is just so low effort.

Noctis too busy on Threads rn to reply
