Twitter missed out big time in search. There is so much high-quality content on that platform, yet it's practically undiscoverable. I've way too often spent 15 minutes+ trying to find a tweet I saw at some point. Usually I never find it again. Search is a great save for ad revenue.

Leave Twitter as is otherwise, add search and cut opex. Twitter was great for what it was from a user perspective.

That problem really must be bad because I don't think I've seen anything of major value on Twitter in my entire time using it.

Your experience on Twitter is very dependent on whom you follow. I've spend a lot of time curating my lists and pruning them even of people who list good content of it comes with too much noise.

Edit: Example of the first Tweet thread in my favorite list that's valuable and hard to find elsewhere: https://twitter.com/devonzuegel/status/1683301667733663744?s...

Edit2: To be clear, I'm not saying Twitter needs better recommendations. Maybe they do, I don't care. I'm explicitly saying search.
