Who will build the next "Twitter"?

[intrepidity]

The Left has extraordinary talent and resources. Why isn't someone building the next, better iteration of Twitter right this goddamned minute, so that OG Twitter can fall into the sewer, taking Musk's billions with it?

The application itself is incredibly simple to code. It just needs to appear at the crucial moment--hint: NOW--so that at least half the population of OGT can smoothly transit to New Twitter in an instant.

The solution is pelucid as can be. Who will step forward?

Or, we can all just continuously complain.

1. Real time elite tweeting is a novelty business, and it's not profitable enough

That's why there were no other bidders, and why no one will build one. Maybe they can move to a pay model, but that cuts down on the user base.

3. Then the conclusion must be that the oligarchs have won

What about a massive crowd-sourced effort?

4. Podcasts. Maybe people seek something a bit more indepth

Twitter, in its basic form, is little better than a stream of texts on your smart phone.

Elon paid an arm and a leg and I doubt he'll make much from it.

5. We need a hero

Sometimes it just comes down to that.
