@thetrainline I’ve gotten this across two computers and the app:

@thetrainline Hi, I am trying to buy a ticket and I keep getting an error message. Is your system currently down? I’ve tried on my phone using the app and through desktop on different browsers, nothing is working.

"I am a technologist and I can make technology go fast." was by far my favorite quote from the Advertising Q&A Twitter Spaces event.

[Abby Quintana @AbbyAtWork]

I hate the way this looks so much. Making a text-y platform even more cluttered, ugh.

Some real “my passion is graphic design” vibes for this checkmark rollout

Elon Musk just axed key Twitter teams like human rights, accessibility, AI ethics and curation https://t.co/JDUgOZGcG0

"72% of creators surveyed by Awin and ShareASale said their burnout stems from 'constant platform changes,'" which is why it's so vital that creators work to own their audiences in a way that means they can take them wherever they choose to publish. https://t.co/TtBZWsI3Da

It's not some sort of coordinated action, it's best practice for a lot of folks who handle paid media. If the platform you're placing ads on is in a period of massive change and/or turmoil then taking a pause is the next step. https://t.co/uukI3hrySN

Facebook continues to move away from news, but this feels like such a step backward for the platform. Especially amidst such a tumultuous time in which news sources can be manipulated and bad actors have a history of doing so on this platform. https://t.co/Qal75otHoU

TikTok is really pushing hard to have viewers see it as a "cultural and entertainment platform," not a social network or social platform.

Tuning in to #TikTokMadeMePlayIt this morning!

"While it can be easy for marketers to get swept up in media narratives about short-form content overtaking long-form content, they should keep in mind the two are parts of a greater ecosystem of content creation and consumption." https://t.co/5wdRtn0nSW

"What feels much less ascendant is the more personal & informal status-update form of social media, which we’re seeing get funneled into siloed messaging apps, text threads, and chat communities..." https://t.co/TJZ6HIejND

So happy about this design update at YouTube. https://t.co/NaipPHsdxN

"...but then you look at something like the thriving galaxy of influencer, YouTuber and musician Discord servers out there, and it’s plain to see that formations of existing audiences are the core building blocks of the evolving social paradigm." https://t.co/ZPfjCS8RkS

Another way of looking at this: Power users provide free content to this site that attracts other people and, in turn, advertisers. If the power users are disincentivized to post or be here, then so will those other people and, in turn, advertisers.
