     @snowyfox@deadinsi.de Twitter’s operating costs for last year were $5.57 billion, despite only $5.2 billion in revenue. On top of the current net loss, the loans used to purchase the platform add a further billion in yearly interest payments on top of current operating costs. At minimum, Twitter has a $1.4 billion dollar hole in their budget that needs filling. With a recession coming, we should expect the platform’s revenue to decrease rather than increase. The short of it is, Twitter is not in a good place financially.doesnt seem like they made money last year

     @puniko They're literally a billionaire, they don't need money..

     And if they wanted to do good business practice, they wouldn't ask devs to implement a feature in 2 weeks

     @snowyfox @puniko I think he's set an impossible task to try to dismiss employees for "cause" - or it's some kind of work-pressure Darwinism. Probably both, equally cynical/stupid.
