The Twitter from two weeks ago is gone and replaced with… &lt;i&gt;something&lt;/i&gt;. We don’t know what that currently means, but it is different.&lt;p&gt;The hypothesis wasn’t that Twitter will immediately fail. It was that it is currently on that path. And that changes happen gradually, but can be profound. (Or as the trope about bankruptcy goes: it happens gradually and then all at once).&lt;p&gt;It might not ever “fail” as a company, but it’s on that path. Whether that is less relevance or a bankrupt company, it’s too early to say. All we do know is that it is changing.</text></comment>
