There's also the fact that the service formerly known as Twitter is running on a skeleton crew. This could easily lead to a buildup in cruft, undetected or unnoticed system errors, or any number of maintenance issues that could result in something like this.

I like to think they cut costs by lopping letters off the word twitter until all they had left was a “t”, and then some bozo walked up and kicked the remaining character over.

site runs better since his takeover despite what the haters say. I have a large follower account - responsiveness has improved.

There are downsides, with new features, algo changes etc but overall it’s been getting better.

We all have access to Twitter and can see its downfall with our own eyes.

Mark Cuban seems to agree, and I am also a heavy user seeing the same thing.

What in particular are you seeing a proof of a downfall?

Here’s Mark Cuban saying the tech/responsiveness has improved. Does he seem like the kinda guy who needs to suck up to anyone? A guy with fuckyu levels of money?

Amazing what a sudden, drastic decrease in user activity will do for a site's response time.
