I think you are right in some ways. The site didn't crash and burn like everyone was predicting. It's still snappy, and has more features now. What gets me is the never ending stream of childish decisions, stuff like replacing the logo with Dogecoin, messing up the blue tick, banning linking certain major domains, and other stuff.

“Everyone” wasn’t predicting that. A large number of people were predicting a high probability (but not necessarily immediate or catastrophic effect) of service degradation from the mass of knowledge that was jettisoned – and this has manifested and continues to – and some people who saw that criticism and didn’t understand it relayed it as immediate immediate demise, which hasn’t.


That’s not how software crashes, it’s not like windows xp fail to boot up nowadays.

Twitter crashed in the way that it had plenty of downtime since — some problem won’t be identified in time, and no one is there to fix the issue.


I recommend visiting reddit.com/r/twitter to see the number of people who can't log into their account for various BS reasons and can't reach anyone for support.


To be fair, r/facebook and r/instagram are equally as bad. I'm not sure there's a social media site that has good support for end users (not advertisers).


That sounds like basically every service.
