&gt; Twitter&#x27;s chance of death goes up dramatically if it&#x27;s not a standalone entity.<p>Currently the whole TWTR management is looking to please short-term &quot;investor&quot; and &quot;speculator&quot; scum.<p>Companies don&#x27;t exist for 3-month intervals and maximum gains, they exist for creating LONG TIME wealth (and that&#x27;s the mistake Capitalism does).<p>Existence inside a huge, rock-solid company frees management from the cognitive and financial round to be hyper-effective for capitalists instead for their users (who actually create the work that makes Twitter exist).
