#Rebranding of Twitter

[mennany]

Was hesitant to post this here because... idk, I'm paranoid, but I decided that my paranoia is stupid and I should just post it anyway because why not. I'm trying to be more active on here, anyways.

Anyway I made this nearly a month ago because I saw some people saying Vox canonically owned an Alastor body pillow. No idea if that's true and I don't really care enough to look it up, but regardless I decided I needed to draw him and Val as this meme. It was too perfect. (So perfect in fact that I saw another piece of fanart with them as this meme earlier, which is what reminded me I made this).

Every decision Elon musk makes and every announcement he makes about twitter on twitter sounds like something Wheatley would do in charge or Aperture Science

Why an "all in one" platform wouldn't work

People don't go to youtube to see their grandma's latest thought, they go to facebook. people don't go to twitter to see unrealistic beauty standards, they go to instagram. people don't go to tik tok to sell their old couch, they go to facebook or ebay. variety of platforms is important. you can't have an "all in one" because then your main purpose will be abandoned so you can focus on other features and then people will inevitably move to a different platform where they actually focus on the features that they came for.

Edit: I realize this may be a bit confusing as to how this relates to the tags, basically elon/whoever the new ceo is, is trying to make the platform like a banking thing or whatever. basically they're trying to make it bigger and have more stuff (trying to make an "all in one" platform). hope this helps anyone who is confused :)

Hey, I'll fucking take it. Cheers to avoiding rampant public safety disasters and strobing-induced seizures!

"A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed.

The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination."

rebrand content predictions

i say "predictions" in heavy air-quotes, it's really more of a pleading poke and a nudge to the universe, but there's 3 things of varying likelihood i would love to see in the new era below the cut. walk with me

REBRAND TRAILER (most likely) ooooo you wanna do another goofy trailer soooo bad. you wanna do more silly short film content soooo baddd the revival one was such a blast, and the sequel/subversion potential is Right There. listen i know deifying me as a prophet with my screenplay "pitch" (read: poorly disguised fanfic) might have its challenges, but consider: it would be so awesome. it would be so cool

PODCAST/STREAMING (plausible. here's how phodcast can still win. kind of) listen. now hear me out. i've been on team longform yapcast from day one, and i know plenty of other monologue-loving roombas feel the same. BUT. i feel like (assuming their setup doesnt go on the fritz) semi-consistent streaming (with uploaded/edited VODS) could scratch the same itch, hence why i lump them together. here's what i'm squinking. all the cool stuff they got to do with radio 1... BUT. full creative control. it's hot. its vogue. its full-circle. its got endless possibilities for segments and games and... dare i say... audience engagement.... imagine, if you will... similar formatting and segment ideas to my beloved dystopia daily... but live, on-stream, and with phil's brilliant mind manning the fun little games and tonal balance. bespoke activity area i miss you every day

DAN AND PHIL TRY ___ (not impossible, but of the three, my least likely hail mary) for those familiar, think something vaguely akin to The Grumps' Ten Minute Power Hour series, or something like Unus Annus (especially the ones where they go outside and goof off). for those not, imagine a sort of reclamation of the II era-- the "giving the people what they want" style of content. this time around, the guys challenge themselves to do stupid shit (like conjoined baking and codependency yoga) on their own terms. they're giving the people what they want. said stupid shit could be as small as trying food they've never had before or as ambitious as... i dunno. mini golf. naturally though, each video would have its own spin, and one unique to them. suffice to say. this would be beast as hell

that all being said, i love them, which means i love everything they make. i mean it with my whole fart when i say nothing they do in this new era content-wise would even remotely disappoint me-- i'm all over that shit, whatever it looks like. between both of their creative prowess, they've more than earned my excitement <3 phrebrand, i await you with open arms <3

hey! hey hey!! hey lads if i did a mini "fake screenshot" series of a rewritten totk (mainly without time travel and zonau) … would you like that? (and is it worth the risk of pissing half the fandom off)

Twitter’s rebrand is proof that Silicon Valley is in a minimalism death spiral and that not a single cryptobro has ever had a creatively appealing thought in their entire life.
