On the flipside, HN threads get very confusing when new information surfaces hours after hitting the front page. New arrivals start "correcting" people who commented with out of date information.
Yeah, it is getting quite boring since all of this market chaos was expected and as you can see, everyone here being surprised that these layoffs in general are happening. The news need an outrage story to get clicks and eyeballs for their ad money, so why not give Twitter and Elon Musk more attention and drama? It is the same pattern.
But I don't think a social network with a head count of more than 7500+ and increasingly burning hundreds of millions of cash, nearing into the billions for years is sustainable. The layoffs where going to happen either way; with or without Musk's takeover of Twitter.
But of course I couldn't care less on what happens to Twitter, Elon Musk can do whatever he likes with it and yet the screeching loudmouths relying on Twitter will end up screaming in outrage and will calm down and end up paying for their verified checkmarks.
