Running a social media company is not at all like running a normal tech company. It’s one part technology, but it’s one part psychology. He doesn’t understand the psychology part whatsoever. He doesn’t understand stand why people choose to engage or not engage with a community. He doesn’t understand how and why Twitter became part an important news and information source and all of decisions he’s made so far have reduced the relevance of the product.
Twitter verified status is there to help people trust Twitter, not just the person behind the checkmark. Now nobody trust your product. It also doesn’t take a genius to understand that limiting access to your product makes people use it less.
Doesn’t he have a condition that keeps him from understanding social norms? Wouldn’t that alone disqualify him from making decisions about a social media company/site?
