Meta Vs. Twitter
Long ago when Meta copied Snapchat, we all hated Meta for this act. We highlighted points such as startups can survive if bigger players aren’t controlled.
But now since Elon is the bad guy, so we are okay with Threads being a Twitter copy.
Do two wrongs make it right?

He’s not “the bad guy.” The app (Twitter) is horrible because of him.
Spam bot messages every day. Recommended feed that has nothing to do with my interests and instead actually promoters the opposite. Limited scroll number. Willing to pay = bigger voice (more characters).
Imo, we are okay with realizing this app is not what it use to be and we want something better / different.

This is such a simplistic view of the situation.

Did we? who is we? It was obvious copying of a feature after Snap turned down the acquisition…but we already hated FB for integrating FB into IG, this one “act” barely moved the hatred needle…do we hate Snapchat now for copying Tiktok btw?

Twitter isn’t getting flack because it’s being run by “the bad guy”…Elon is CEO of a company that produces a product we use, and is actively making the product worse in a variety of ways.
If Meta wants to steal their user base and advertisers by copying that product, and it actually works to fill the void Elon is willingly giving up, then more power to them?

Snapchat is good though. Twitter is not.

Elon is making Twitter 2.0. Some people rather have twitter 1.0. Threads is the closet to Twitter 1.0 that’s available. .
