How Much Longer Can Twitter Last, Really?

A meta comment: since Elon’s takeover there has been an astounding volume of Twitter doom wishcasting.<p>Almost none of these predictions have come true, and while I suppose they may eventually, the posts&#x2F;articles getting increasingly difficult to pay attention to.<p>Every time I see another of these my reaction is “god, another one?” I’ve been struggling to evaluate these articles on the merits, I’m sure I’m not alone.<p>If you want to write an article like this and avoid this problem I recommend that you take extreme care to at least pretend Elon failing wouldn’t give you profound schadenfreude.

An alternative is that it gets purchased for a few billion dollars by a tech PE firm or Microsoft, which honestly would be a pretty good outcome.

Option 3: Musk says something <i>particularly</i> offensive and starts an avalanche before these hammers even fall.

Twitter faces two major financial threats: pending employment lawsuits and massive fines from regulatory violations.<p>On top of this, the platform&#x27;s recent efforts to limit API usage have negatively affected both regular users and SaaS products that rely on Twitter analytics. With these mounting challenges, the company&#x27;s survival is increasingly uncertain, and some are predicting bankruptcy as a potential outcome. The long-term impact of these developments remains to be seen.

All these doomers don&#x27;t realize the power of network effects.

Can someone succinctly and definitively explain why everyone wants Twitter to fail? It&#x27;s a beat to death news headline at this point.

it seems to be working just fine despite all the layoffs.<p>many of these complaints seem more political than practical. I understand that a set of people exists who are dissatisfied with twitter and&#x2F;or are eagerly anticipating some grand implosion of the company, but many more people than this set use the platform, so questions like &quot;how much longer can twitter last, really?&quot; come across as having come from a very insulated ideological bubble, rather than taking the entire spectrum of experiences had by twitter users into account.

Twitter will last as long as Elon wants it to, the spend is pretty much know. And it’s a software problem. Sure if they make zero money it’s fail eventually but don’t bet on that

I mean, define &#x27;last&#x27;. Myspace.com still goes, well, somewhere.

Weird. I can&#x27;t read this page <i>with</i> or <i>without</i> JavaScript. Can someone copy and paste the article here so people can read what it says?
