    ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?

    i’m not even sure what we’re debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they’re trying to mitigate that…

    do you have access to their financial reports? otherwise how can one make such claims wrt to profitability (which is the issue at hand)

    like, i kinda see it wrt to the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how much is it embedded into twitter as an application)


  • real shit

    ppl like to shit on twitter and the link (reasonably so), but it’s a legitimate challenge to run it and do so profitably, if they’re having troubles with their server costs, only thing i could actually fault them with is making a platform that takes like 1mb of bandwidth to serve like 1/3 kb worth of text (also allowing pictures and videos)

    💀💀

    as much as i hate elon musk tho, it is a sort of reasonable strategy in case you’re trying to prevent incurring further hosting charges while you’re migrating 🤷‍♀️

    not sure why he can’t just pay the hosting bill but whatever, that’s secondary i guess
