This take aged like milk
I wonder if the Reddit CEO still considers Elon Musk to be his role model.
Marketing and social media copywriters being the first to lose their jobs to ChatGPT makes sense. The tendency of ChatGPT to make up stuff is actually an advantage in these fields.

Twitter’s head of brand safety & ad quality is leaving? Why would you leave a job where you got paid to do nothing all day?

That’s great news. My ideal would be an amalgam of the reddit and Twitter experience. Reddit has a front page tailored to your interests and then topic specific subreddits.
I’d want my Twitter timeline and then to be able to jump to the community’s curation of the best #BlackTwitter or #FinTwit tweets.
The circular nature of video game rewards is a case study in human psychology. I’m going to spend hours playing Call of Dury to earn a badge that shows I spent hours playing Call of Duty. 🤣
One of the biggest missed opportunities of Twitter and thus its copycats like Bluesky & Mastodon is not doing more with the interest graph to build communities as a feature.
A concept similar to subreddits would have been a natural extension. #FinTwit and #BlackTwitter as actual destinations.

It’s like someone suggests we go get ice cream and I start talking about it means we need to put gas in the car to go that far. It sounds like I don’t want to get ice cream when instead I’m very interested and working through what we need to accomplish to do it.
One of the things I learned about myself over the past year is my engagement model about work is “I think this is good but here’s what we should fix to make it great” but I never say the “I think this is good” part out loud instead jump right into what we should fix.
I wish I had a time machine.
From selling half a billion dollars a month in NFTs in 2021 to $6.5M in 2023. The real shock is that there’s still enough interest to sell millions in JPEGs a month.
I remember trying to get into NFTs until I realized it was just gambling on the price of JPEGs. No thanks. I go to Vegas to gamble.

AI is a more urgent threat to the world than climate change? Oh brother. 🤦🏾♂️
Playing Fortnite being officially an Olympic sport is both an achievement by Fortnite and a fail for the Olympics.
I had to explain to someone today that the blue check is Twitter’s MAGA hat.
My favorite thing about Mastodon is when you post an image and someone passive aggressively responds with alt text for the image.
Truly a one of a kind social media experience. 😇
What I assume it’s like at Twitter right now.
Tipping is a tax on generous people.
Some people think the generative AI hype is out of control. On the other hand, people are already going on strike because of AI stealing their jobs and we haven’t even had ChatGPT for a year.
