Twitter Inc on Wednesday was hit with a lawsuit accusing it of refusing to pay at least $500 million in promised severance to thousands of employees who were laid off after Elon Musk acquired the company.
Half the time a site just refuses to work.
I click on a link to a tweet, and it’s either “Ooops…” or a sign in window.
The links not working might be connected to the provider change. But so had no such experiences so far.
The forced login to see content is actually something Facebook and other companies already do. It forces people to make an account. This always works out in favour of a company, if the company already has a very large amount of users and has a monopoly on the market.
This can’t be good for a social media site, that mainly gets its value from the number of users.
This works especially well with media. Newspapers that embed tweets must link them
In their articles, often embedded in an article. This means the newspaper will need more than the current 600 tweets a day to work. It will need to pay to make use of 6000.
This concept only works if you need to login to see tweets.
Disregarding laws in Europe regarding the firings is also a very shortsigthed decision that will bite them in the ass.
I am uninformed about the firings of European twitter personnel. You might be right about that.
Or it’s just an inflated problem. Twitter still has a legal team.
