When will the company make money? After two decades, it still can’t say. And there are enough other red flags that investors might want to be wary.

    Yeah that’s fair.

    Merchandising is the only palatable idea I can think of.

    More likely to happen:

    • Twitter’s verified user subscription strategy

    • More ad posts with paid-priority (priority hidden from users)

    • Layoffs with AI as miracle cure

    • Selling user data for AI training (check)

    • Paid API access (check)

    But it’s really hard to ignore that its function isn’t really designed for profit and it’s wacky that we have to humor the idea.

      Ironically, if they charged moderators to be moderators, theyd probably pay for it. Some of those people were nuts.
