Eeh. It seems like Musk strategy for X (formerly known as Twitter) is to remove and remove any feature that might be used by third parties to drive people away from Twitter. Presumably, I think, he does this so that people will stay on Twitter.<p>I think, however, that he goes about doing things in ways that are just... wrong? He has a huge userbase still, so why doesn't he do any A-B testing of these features to see if people respond how he is expecting before announcing and implementing these massive changes. I thought this was industry standard.<p>The impression I get from Musk is that he gets these ideas that he thinks are so great, and he just pushes them through because he's so sure they're going to work out. And then they don't and everyone is like "well of course they wouldn't work, so how did this get implemented in the first place?". I get it that he's a billionaire and all, but maybe he should be relying more on processes than so-called genius.<p>It also seems to me like instead of making people stay on twitter for longer, he might be pulling people who create content on the platform away from it. And if there's no one creating content on the platform, then users will go away as well. Meta's threads is coming up with a web-version soon, this will definitely put a much higher pressure on Twitter. I don't really use Twitter on mobile a lot, mostly from the web, so I haven't switched to threads for this reason; I wonder how many people are in the same boat.
