Twitter users see world governments and their favorite celebrities around them and assume they're using a well-funded, expertly-run platform. Even in the Dorsey days, that was comedically untrue - Twitter has always been an unbalanced equation, and paying the piper requires you to change the business model.

That's from the outside looking in, though. I never made a Twitter account, I don't know if their EULA promised free beer and cookies ad-infinitum.
