Before Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform last year, Twitter signed a multi-year contract with Google related to fighting spam and protecting accounts, among other things, the report said.
Sounds like it's not about hosting their infrastructure but tangential services.
Of course Elon Musk thinks he can anti-spam and protect accounts better by himself and without external cost.
I'd love to see cloud hosters refusing to work with Elon Musk because of all the unpaid bills stuff.
You might be seeing fees I’m not, but some cell service are actually mandatory in the US. Usually a few dollars a month, they go to various state and federal agencies.
Essentially automated greed. They make more money by automating their employees and they charge you even more because of how convenient it was for them to do so.
How fast can one really read 6000 post ? Assuming you read 100 post a minute, is that 1 hour of usage before getting cut off for the day? I dont really have a feeling how many posts a normal twitter user would go through in a minute.
I know its only one data point, but I just logged on to see how many people were online in a sub i used to frequent and it was down 30-50%, the lowest numbers i’ve seen all year.
I’m curious to check stuff like that, but I’m refusing. Just checking it counts as traffic, and I don’t want them to mistake my morbid curiosity for me still using it.
Well I’m new here so there’s one more data point. I figure if this thing doesn’t bug out, continues to function and servers can handle growth, it’s got no reason to shrink.
It would be fascinating to see the traffic and usage comparison for Reddit over time to get an idea of genuinely how many people are moving away and staying away.
