New Twitter logo looks like a porn site

I know this has been said nonstop but it truly does. I'm wondering if this will force parents into uninstalling the app from their kid's devices.

Ha, I didn't even think of that, but it's a good point. This is one of the worst rebrands of a hugely popular product in a long time.

No joke when I went to Twitter on my new phone as a tunneling test I saw the X logo on my favorites. I was like, "What the fuck? I've not even looked at porn on this phone, yet."

I think this will be a bigger fuck up than when Survey Monkey changed their name, and when Survey Monkey changed their name people internally still called it Survey Monkey. Even the code still called the site Survey Monkey.

It's still weird to me how all of this is coming about because it is either purposeful sabotage or idiocy and all that these changes are doing is pissing off a large portion of people on both sides of the aisle with the only ones left being the small subsection weirdo Elon Musk fanboys that are either apolitical or think he's some sort of right-wing icon.

He supposedly thinks that X will be some sort of bigger hub for the internet after all of this, but it's trending towards becoming not much more than a glorified Patreon page for Elon Musk fanboys.

What happened was when he went to Shanghai he had to use WeChat and he loved it.


Super apps will never take off in the rest of the world. I mean for fucks sake you can't even get Americans to agree to use WhatsApp. Like the only reason so many people use Instagram is because Facebook bought all of the competition, including Instagram.


There's also the issue is security. WeChat, for all intents and purposes, is a gov app. I have to use it for so many government things, especially during the zero COVID era. This would imply it gets state backing for not only finances but security too. Twitter breaks if a fraction of the user base logs in. Now imagine it having everyone's stored financial information. Twitter would be getting hacked daily.

While I'm sure EU and US gov would like a super app i don't think they'd sponsor this one. Especially since Elon's a well known liar/grifter who will cowtow to any foreign leaders to raise the stock if Tesla by .0000001%. He's easily bought, which is funny since he's supposed to be the world's richest man.


Finally, FB already does this. FB not only has a market but they have a financial payment system. I used it when one website didn't accept Paypal. Facebook even has a built in Amazon like feature that no one uses, or it was disabled. I used to buy from people's Facebook stores. In fact this was how a lot of Japanese artist and game studios would sell stuff to the west for a bit. So, we have a working super app with these features already and no one uses it because it's for boomers.

Hell, Facebook was running miniapps before WeChat was even a thought. Actually Facebook did a lot of this before WeChat now that i think about it. Twitter can't even display ads unless they're tweets because their system will fucking crash and burn displaying anything other than a Twitter feed.
