I wonder if people saying that it's too inconvenient for them to move off of Twitter would have continued to eat at lunch counters in the 1960s that refused service to black people. "Yeah, Woolworth's is reprehensible, but that's where all my friends eat. And besides, they have the best blueberry pie in town."

@dangoodin @SQLAllFather The answer is yes. Yes they would have.

@bflipp @SQLAllFather That makes me very 😞​

@dangoodin @SQLAllFather There’s a lot of people that just aren’t concerned about what Elon’s doing and has done to Twitter as long as it still works for them. I’d say that’s probably the vast majority of Twitter users honestly. If it doesn’t affect them personally on a day to day basis they will not change their habits. When the site becomes unstable or unusable enough for large media orgs and especially sports reporters to leave then we’ll really be in the death spiral but not until then.

@bflipp @dangoodin @SQLAllFather There is always the risk that when the Arabs and Theil who are currently bankrolling the site get fed up with it just burning money and pull out, that it will just shut down, perhaps with no/little warning.

@dangoodin @bflipp @LillyHerself @SQLAllFather hard to say what they would consider unacceptable losses. The really rich parts of the elite are willing to throw out nearly inconceivable amounts of money for a “win.”

@d_a_keldsen @dangoodin @bflipp @SQLAllFather There was a lot of Arab money sloshing around silicon valley in the late 90s, and when they got tired of so many companies not turning a profit they turned off the tap - and that's when the bubble burst.
It was very fast.
