It's very funny to me that everybody still calls the platform Twitter, or 'X, formerly known as Twitter' in BBC parlance. It's extremely satisfying that nobody will take the stupid bastard's dipshit wanker name change seriously and it's gotta drive him mad because he's that small and petty.

it's an absurd level of failure – there do are some news shows that call it just X, but the vast majority uses either Twitter or the formula. there's this unspoken (and correct) agreement that if you say X, people have no idea what you're talking about period.

i have never ever met a single person who called it X outside of those few news segments, every single human being i talked to where the topic came up just calls it twitter. and it makes sense, it's not a matter of stubbroness – people just do it instinctively. it's not even about the world-famous brand thing, really – people can get used to anything eventually

it's just that X is such a tremendously stupid name

it's so vague and generic that people just.... don't

people trying to get more people to sign up for cohost plus or trying to come up with ways to make cohost plus more enticing really need to reread this part of the financial report:

"this is why we originally planned to build cohost only as a side project on the way to building a platform for tipping and subscriptions like ko-fi or patreon (hereafter referred to as "eggbux" because it's less to write), rather than depending on cohost plus for funding indefinitely. our conversion rate of MAU to paid subscribers is already incredibly high; the industry standards are around 4-8% and we've been able to clock in above that basically since we launched cohost plus. trying to get that number higher will see seriously diminishing returns and isn't really worth putting a ton of time and effort into."

cohost has an absurdly high conversion rate, like a lot of sites would kill to have the number of subscribers they have compared to the overall userbase. which sounds really good on the surface, until you consider that having such a high rate makes it unlikely to grow that much more, and thus there's really no more room to exploit that as a moneymaker. if you've already gone above and beyond in subscriber rates, you probably aren't getting that many more subscribers, and if that isn't covering your costs, you need to find other ways to make money.

the devs are trying to tell you that this isn't the path to sustainability for them. whether or not there is a path...i guess only time will tell that, but this one isn't it.
