When people pay higher rent while their kids are in school and compete with FAANG software engineers, isn't that the market working?

Both groups could live somewhere else, but don't.

Anyone following hundreds of thousands of users is obviously a bot account scraping content. I'd ban them and call it a day.

However, I do love reading about the technical challenge. I think Twitter has a special architecture for celebrities with millions of followers. Given Bluesky is a quasi-clone, I wonder why they did not follow in these footsteps.
