Well at this point no-one is really surprised.<p>I think what is surprising is Musks blatant disregard for Twitter as a platform. I’m not the expert of this but my understanding is that a platform strategy brings a range of other companies and offerings that extend your ecosystem and offer value to your users beyond what you need to build out yourself.<p>Twitter was an anomoly in my mind but now Reddit seems desperate to follow Musks magical playbook.<p>How much is a platform play worth in 2023? Was it all just hype or are Reddit and Musk reading it wrong?
