Can Twitter's reduced crew ever find a way?
Musk and colleagues at Twitter tried to add another layer of verification by adding a gray tick that only governments, companies, and entities of eminence could receive, but this had to be rolled back too. As of now, vestiges of the gray tick remain on the platform, while Twitter Blue was withdrawn, and efforts were made to remove impersonators.Last week, Musk said that the service would be brought back on November 29, but a recent tweet confirms that the decision has been further delayed.
In the meantime, Musk has reduced the Twitter staff strength by half, and hundreds more left the company after the new CEO wanted them toIn such a scenario, where many teams are without enough members or a clear chain of command, it remains to be seen how Twitter will cope with new rollouts. The failure of Twitter blue check so far shows that it has not been tested enough within the company, and with the remaining skeletal staff, it might be even more difficult to do so now.
We recently saw Twitter's copyright strike system flailing, and energies might be currently spent on holding the fort together than introducing new features that would add more uncertainties.
