What changes does Alexis Ohanian want Elon Musk to make?
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, the very first demand techies are making to him is making the API public. It will help the techies come up with better and more innovative ideas and reduce the clutter for them. Ohanian came across a similar demand on Twitter and quickly gave his insight about the same.
Ohanian's Tweet.
Ohanian opposes the idea of charging for the blue tick.
One of the major changes Musk made after taking over Twitter was making the blue tick chargeable. The blue tick is a Twitter account verification that helps one identify popular figures. It is vital in separating the actual celebrities and the fake Twitter handles by their name.
What did Ohanian say about the new Twitter policy.
Alexis Ohanian termed it as a disastrous move that can backfire in the longer term. Being the co-founder of a similar platform, Reddit, Ohanian, has a fair idea about the business. He also cited the example of Digg, which brought about similar changes and the move landed them in trouble.
