The data is valuable only if someone has fair access to it. What an individual or a thousand may do with that data is an unknown and that is the real opportunity here, not the promise of a million subscribers paying you a dollar each. Twitter took that unknown, turned it off, and tried to own all the opportunity and all the answers. They did this because they IPO&#x27;d and then the need by investors to <i>know</i> what&#x27;s going to happen took over even more than before. If there were answers to be had here, they&#x27;d already be doing it. I&#x27;m suggesting a move back to innovation, which is where they belong.<p>The desire by some individuals to make insane amounts of money on an idea are directly responsible for a massive SUCK experience for the end users of the software because those users are then forced to use the software in a way that makes the revenue predictable.  I used to love to use Twitter because of all the wide variety of apps and things I could do with it with code. Now it&#x27;s just unusable and dying. I would pay to make that different, but there isn&#x27;t anything they offer that&#x27;s worth my time and effort, so I&#x27;ll go elsewhere.
