> To play devils advocate does Twitter not seem fine now?

Fine in what sense? There's less features, less capacity and more outages. They couldn't even hold someone's presidential announcement fine without it breaking. Is that fine?

As a business they've gained debt and lost a lot of income. Is that fine? With less income, less ads and less of everything it's a different scale. Something that's fine with 1 million users is not the same as 10 million.

I would say it's different - different ownership, different direction etc. Time will tell what the outcome is. Projects have been axed and new 1s will appear.

The changing of staff has definitely hurt Twitter. Whether they can recover is a different question.



So... fine as long as you don't compare it to its past self?
