Twitter is a textbook case of how potent network effects are. The platform won’t die even though the widespread feeling is that using Twitter feels worse now than a year ago. At this point, I don't see anyone defending Elon's management of Twitter — he is alienating both the hardcore users and the developer ecosystem. He's capable of acknowledging the problems that Twitter faces, but at every turn chooses the wrong option. I get a similar feeling seeing how Zuck handles Meta: they are very clever people capable of great things, but they lack the basic social intuitions to innovate and manage a social product.
