There is literally no reason to do it like that other than incompetence. Platform migrations, especially for something as large as Twitter, are incredibly large undertakings that need a lot of skilled people. All those skilled people have long continued their careers at other companies.
You don’t need to know how Twitter is run, that is simply IT and business management 102.
do you have access to their financial reports? otherwise how can one make such claims wrt to profitability (which is the issue at hand)
like, i kinda see it wrt the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how much is it embedded into twitter as an application)

i don’t really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter
while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated
I can’t believe people come to Lemmy of all places to defend Twitter and Musk. I’ve come here a month or so ago when the reddit news broke, but damn, it changed so much these past few days. I kind of already miss Lemmy as it was.
idk about you but i’ve no idea about how twitter is run, there’s plenty of reasons they would be unable or prefer not to do that 🤷♀️

Incompetently, from the looks of it.

My brother in Christ, what?

Lol, I’m regularly working with companies such as Twitter as a consultant :)

ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?
i’m not even sure what we’re debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they’re trying to mitigate that…
