And here we all really thought their recent redesign to add border-radius: 50% to literally everything on the site (avatars, text boxes, buttons, etc) and to strip all contrast away from the icons by hollowing them all out would bring about massive growth of the platform!

How many more times do they have to listen to exactly what their users want and add things like more complicated reply-to functionality that most can't seem to figure out still, live auto-playing sports video on the frontpage regardless of your interests, temporary automatic bans for using adult language in replies to verified accounts when yours isn't, moments, reordering your timeline so that it's no longer chronological, hiding tweets behind "show more replies" (with no opt-out), hiding even more tweets behind a second "show even more sensitive replies" (still with no opt-out), invading others' discretion and flooding your timeline with other peoples' likes, replacing the dreaded egg avatar with a person silhouette, etc before the platform starts to grow? /s
