it's about the intent of the platform. twitter's intent is the heart of its success. all other social media companies have been founded on the premise of data mining and profit. they cannot last in that framing. unless you make a subscription-only social media platform, there's no honest way to run it for profit. and if it's paid, you severely limit use. it's a disposable market. and no one cares much about their real data. most people aren't creators. that's why it won't last.
