Maybe? I guess before I chimed in with an opinion on that I'd wanna know the growth rate of their employee base. Was there a dramatic spike that correlated with known dates on content moderation? Or was it just natural bloat over time in a "hip" silicon valley company that paid developers to play foosball? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I think what the blue check thing boils down to is a certain group of lonely online folks were upset at the realization they are nothing special and decided that verification was some kind of special class instead of what it’s intention was - to ensure something was actually what it was supposed to be. Now it’s a digital “kick me” sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Tweets Become Harder to Believe as Labels Change Meaning In the 24 hours after Twitter last week eliminated the blue check mark that historically served as a means of identifying public agencies, at least 11 new accounts began impersonating the Los Angeles Police Department. More than 20 purported to be various agencies of the federal government. Someone pretending to be the mayor of New York City promised to create a Department of Traffic and Parking Enforcement and slash police funding by 70 percent. Mr. Musk’s decision to stop giving check marks to people and groups verified to be who they said were, and instead offering them to anyone who paid for one, is the latest tumult at Twitter, the social media giant he has vowed to remake since he acquired it last year for $44 billion. The changes have convulsed a platform that once seemed indispensable for following news as it broke around the world. The information on Twitter is now increasingly unreliable. Accounts that impersonate public officials, government agencies and celebrities have proliferated. So have propaganda and disinformation that threaten to further erode trust in public institutions. The consequences are only beginning to emerge. *** In Sudan, new accounts on Twitter are falsely representing both sides of the civil war that has erupted there. One account that, presumably, bought a blue check mark falsely proclaimed the death of Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan, the leader of the rebel Rapid Support Forces. More than 1.7 million people viewed the tweet. *** The main account of the Los Angeles Police Department has a gray check mark, which Twitter created for “legacy accounts,” but not all of its various bureaus do — the Hollywood division, for example. In addition to providing blue check marks for $8 a month, Twitter has invited organizations to pay $1,000 to receive gold marks for multiple accounts. For a time, at least, one was extended to a Disney Junior impostor account that tweeted racist and vulgar language. “This is going to be chaos for emergency services,” tweeted Marc-André Argentino, a research fellow at the London-based International Center for the Study of Radicalization. Mr. Argentino tracked examples showing an account impersonating the mayor of Chicago replying to one impersonating the city’s Department of Transportation. Another had New York City’s actual government-run account arguing with an impostor. “Yes this is funny, let us all laugh,” Mr. Argentino wrote. “Now take two seconds and go back to any mass casualty incident in a major city, or a natural disaster, or any crisis/critical incident when people turn to official sources of information in times need & think of the harm that this can cause.” Edited April 28, 2023 by ChiGoose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter revenue, earnings reportedly fell 40% shortly after Musk buyout Twitter's revenue and adjusted earnings reportedly fell about 40 percent year over year in December 2022 amid an advertiser exodus following Elon Musk's takeover. Twitter ad revenue to plummet 28% in 2023: forecast Twitter's income from advertising will fall by 28 percent in 2023, a closely watched forecast said Tuesday, as the platform struggles under the ownership of Elon Musk. Analysts at Insider Intelligence said they were slashing an earlier worldwide revenue estimate of $4.74 billion by more than a third to $2.98 billion as trust in the platform deteriorates.
