I’m not interested in collecting the money but I am interested in being proven right! 😇

Still, a lot can happen in 6 months!

I’m happy I didn’t bet on the 140 char limit staying though. That was already ridiculous back in 2016 and people were constantly using various workarounds.

That limit was abolished earlier this year and Twitter is now making money. It’s now the main foghorn of the president of the United States and other scum and villainy.

I’m also finding it more useful myself personally despite hardly using my account previously. I signed up some time around 2009 and spent most of that time not “getting” it.

Anyway Twitter is now considered too expensive to acquire. I have no idea what its long term prospects are but it seems pretty safe for the present.

Seems to be a done deal. GitHub while a money maker never went for big profits and was just as likely to make losses.

Expect to see a lot of talk about setting up a not for profit Github replacement. This will come to nothing but GitHub’s competitors will feel some benefits.
