INEFFICIENCIES IN LARGE ORGANIZATIONS
There exists a phenomenon in my many big organizations called 'shipping the org chart'. It means that in your product, users will be able to understand your org chart by how different pieces of the product work (or don't work) together.

I get a lot of questions every time we do a creator revenue share payout on X (more than I could possibly respond to). Let's talk about common questions from creators when we do a payout.
The two biggest questions I get are:
(1) I didn't get a payment
(2) My payment was low

One of my favorite parts about Twitter 2.0 is that everyone at the company is in the trenches. At big companies, you're so far removed from the customer that you forget who you're building for.
Now everyone is working directly with users and solving for them. Feels great!

"Why is my payout so low?" is a top question from creators every time we do a payout.
I've looked into countless numbers of these to make sure there are no bugs in the calculations. By far the most common reason is lack of engagement from Verified users.

I'm listening to the Elon bio on Spotify and hearing about the early days of SpaceX makes this feat even more insane.
Starship Flight 4 in about 2 weeks.
Primary goal is getting through max reentry heating.
Worth noting that no one has ever succeeded in creating a fully reusable heat shield. Shuttle required >6 months of rework.

Something in the Elon bio that stuck with me is that technological progress is not guaranteed. Scientific progress can stagnate or roll back w/o hard work.
Thankfully, space is now an area where progress is accelerating.

The goal of the creator monetization programs is to increase the quality of content on the platform. To do so, you provide methods for creators to monetize their content.
Some creators are so focused on the monetization piece that they forget about the 'creator' piece.

Some creators are so focused on 'number go up' that they try to use shortcuts.
- Engagement bait questions are not content
- Using AI to generate your posts is not content
- Reposting someone else's content is not content
None of this is content - it's noise.

One big difference in Twitter 2.0? A lot more "yes and" and less "yes but" working with other teams.
Teams had their own quarterly KR to meet. Helping you was sometimes at expense of their own goal in 1.0
Now it feels like we're all on the same page

It's really bizarre to me. Faster, quieter, less pollution, no maintenance. Only downside is range.
I suspect it has to do with where our oil industries are located. EV's are an existential crisis for that industry.

The new creator onboarding flow is SO much better. Really streamlined and less back-and-forth approvals required. Fantastic work by the team to get this out today.
Looking forward to adding a lot more creators soon!
You asked (loudly), we listened.
We’ve reduced the signup flow for creators from 27 steps to just 4.

Nuclear testing in the 50's reduced the usefulness of carbon dating for living organisms after that date due to increased carbon-14 in the atmosphere.

Verified Orgs solves the verification problem in a much more democratic way.
Rather than X deciding someone is notable enough to be verified, the institution the physicist is affiliated with verifies that the person knows what they're talking about.
The physicists making these
Whatever flaws the old system had, it was useful in moments like this. A physicist with a check mark was actually a physicist. They may not be right, but you could focus on those people in any discussion, and because their names were riding on it, there was at least some stakes.

Creators often ask what type of content they should post for subscribers on X.
One option? Post normal content but occasionally enable 'Subscriber Only' replies. It'll be visible to everyone, but only subscribers can reply.

Pace of FSD improvements is wild. Love hearing what changes to expect in each update. I'm especially hyped for the single stack for 12.5 since most of my driving is on a highway.
@WholeMarsBlog
Yeah, seeing it everywhere.
Btw, 12.4 goes to internal release this weekend and limited external beta next week. Roughly 5X to 10X improvement in miles per intervention vs 12.3.
12.5 will be out in late June. Will also see a major improvement in mpi and is single stack – no

We don't intend to pay bots to make the site worse and Elon is 100% clear on this to the team.
We have teams actively working on combating monetized bots and many techniques previously employed are well known to us / no longer effective. It's an ongoing battle.

Just overpaid for car insurance renewal (AAA) on my Model Y. Got me thinking.
Imagine if Tesla insurance was discounted depending on how often you used FSD. Would be an incredible package. Cheaper for consumers and more data + subscription revenue for Tesla.

Been enjoying getting to finally try v12 FSD!
Biggest issue so far? My own instinct to backseat drive & intervene.
When a friend/spouse/Uber follows too close, etc.. we just grumble.
Now imagine you could intervene in those cases. Need to fight that feeling to fully enjoy FSD

Yep this is correct. Aiming to do a batch of payouts next week or so if everything goes smoothly. Finalizing details.
Regardless of whether a Stripe account is linked, Blue subscribers will earn. Once they link Stripe, they'll be paid out in the following pay out cycle.

Great thread! I basically grew up on Prince of Persia. There was no internet or strategy guides back then, so there was a lot more mystery in games so that moments like this one don't get spoiled.
Looking forward to pick up Jordan's book!
Who remembers this moment in Prince of Persia (1989) where a magic mirror suddenly blocks the hero's path (and what happens afterward)?
This moment was actually never planned to be in the game. My original vision was a game with lots of traps, but NO enemies... (1/10)

This is resolved. We also use a variety of techniques to detect possible coordinated off-platform activity from Premium users to artificially boost payouts of collaborators. We've adjusted the parameters since the last payout to consider more accurate signals.

The impression analytics dashboard shows all impressions - not Verified impressions. The most important factor is the number of Verified impressions.
Some users have significantly higher numbers of Verified impressions as a % of their total impressions. This = higher payout.

Aphantasia is such a fascinating concept to me. I have almost no ability to visualize when I close my eyes (a '1' on the image below). I wasn't aware people could actually do this.
I'm often quite baffled how I can accurately draw *anything* given I'm not able to visualize it.
So many have commented on my last post about people not having an inner monologue saying they have “aphantasia” or “mind blindness”. 🤯
Here is a simple test I found.
Close your eyes and picture a red star. How well can you see the star visually on a scale of 1 to 6?
