It worked for Twitter, very well from an IT point of view.

It wasn't a total collapse like some were expecting, they haven't really done much new however. Cutting some of the fat was a good idea but they might have gone a little too lean in places.

It works great for Twitter. Every other month there is a strategy failure to get some media attention.

I still remember the doom preached at the crossroads. Guess what happened over the next years.
They didn't go down, but the lack of staff is starting to show in some areas. For example, clicking on certain links in their developer docs leads nowhere. There are also API issues, such as disappearing likes. Everything has its consequences.

Did Twitter get any better?
Twitter fired all the advertising account managers, and no longer makes money because it essentially no longer has ads.
It definitely has ads every four tweets and in the comments.
Those mostly aren't ads, those are promoted tweets by literal crazy people or crypto scams. They aren't paying millions for them.
Twitter doesn’t make a profit. It’s propped up by a billionaire so he can have social clout.

Genuine question: what makes you think Twitter is profitable? As far as I can tell, the numbers are a secret.
