    I always thought Vine was so stupid and pointless, but I thought the same thing about Twitter and it sold for $44 billion dollars, so what do I know? I miss the old Internet when content was more than a blurb, and conversations were deep and meaningful.

      Twitter isn’t and wasn’t worth $44 billion.

      Controlling the narrative is, though.

        It sold for $44 billion dollars, so it was definitely worth that to the people who cashed the check. It doesn’t matter what we think it was worth, that’s how enormous their payday was. Motherfuck, I should have coded that shit back in the day!

          A dollar is only a good price for an elephant if you need an elephant and have a dollar.
