> Considering the audience of twitter, which is the elite of society

You and I have very different experiences of Twitter



yeah, thats the stupidest thing ive read in a bit...

when i interviewed at twitter in ~2006? i was asked what i thought twitter was, and I Replied that it was a "sentiment barometer'

They didnt like that.


I’m guessing you don’t use Twitter or follow it much. Of all the major social platforms — FB, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram — only Twitter has significant and consistent usage by the intellectual and economic elite.


Both can be true.


Just like when I interviewed at Goog and the asked me "what do you think google is" and I replied "everyone thinks you're a search engine, but you're and ad engine only..."

They then called me to tell me " YOU DID GREAT ON YOUR interview, you'll get an offer letter tmrw"

The next day they called me back to tell me "yeah, we arent going to give you that job"

They then proceeded to call me for FOUR FUCKING YEARS for the same job.... and I finally had to tell them " DELETE MY FUCKING NUMBER BITCH!"


> I replied "everyone thinks you're a search engine, but you're and ad engine only..."

Why did you answer it that way if you wanted the job?


Because it was the truth.
