Here's my line-by-line rebuttal of Jack Dorsey's subtweeted reasons he should still be CEO.
1. Twitter still doesn't label misinformation 3yrs after Fb started to
techcrunch.com/2020/03/05/its…
2. Twitter's ads still feel totally skippable. Dorsey claims it's making a big push for mobile app install ads...7yrs after Facebook did that 🤦‍♂️Share price still down from 5yrs ago
3. Jack Dorsey killed Vine when it was on the cusp of becoming TikTok before TikTok. Cancelling a mobile video product in 2016 was unforgivably stupid, especially since his resource mismanagement was the cause
4. Twitter suddenly announces its absurdly late version of Stories just as activist investors harp on slow product development. No event, no US beta, no timeline. Suspiciously convenient.
5. Jack touts that Twitter can hire talent it couldn't 3 years ago...which, duh, is because its share price was less than half of today's. Pretty low bar, my dude
6. Jack was moving to Africa, "the future of bitcoin" aka for his other company Square. Now he's not, "in light of COVID-19 and everything else going on". That 'everything else' is doing some heavy lifting. Twitter CEO always should have been a full-time-from-HQ job.
7. On fighting abuse? Jack said nothing. Twitter has so many problems he didn't even get to mention the one that makes it so intimidating to new users. This deserves undivided attention
Running Twitter is no sidehustle. The app is a fundamental communications utility Jack has failed to safeguard. Maybe corporate raiders could actually do better. Here's my full post on why: techcrunch.com/2020/03/05/its…
