what do you imagine the social network would/could/should become? Obviously what we have is not working for some folks.

I actually like 2006 twitter. Almost pleasant because of its obscurity.
- Only 140 characters - Increasing that added to the slop. Brevity was soul - No 'For you' algo. You had to find and follow the people you wanted to follow and then read all of their posts - RTing it was literally adding RT in front of the other person's tweet. - There was a 'like' icon (I think - don't remember) - There was no paid 'verified' accounts. You had to signal your official twitter account through different means. - There was no monetization for random clickbait ragebait content. - Ads are not that intrusive on twitter. That as a monetization strategy still works. - You only discovered people and not content.
