    MattSaccaro I have a lot to say on this, but basically boils down to people feeling safe & connected to friends on FB & neither on Twitter.

      MattSaccaro It's super obvious FB gets it in their marketing. It's all people live streaming everyday things to their friends and family

        MattSaccaro But Twitter knows that route is fked by the community so it's all weird finance stuff and people jumping at electronic concerts

          MattSaccaro Best example: everyone first tuned into FB to watch people do a fun thing w/friends who happened to be in the BuzzFeed office.

            MattSaccaro Twitter's Big Event was really congresspeople sitting on the floor. Totally different audiences.

              MattSaccaro And the scale of streaming users Twitter can achieve in that situation is minuscule compared to what it needs or FB will get

                MattSaccaro Whole model is dependent on random users making free content to monetize. FB gets them. Twitter won't, b/c it is an ugly place.

                  MattSaccaro At least on a subconscious level users understand that Facebook connects them to friends and Twitter makes them targets.

                    MattSaccaro This is also why Twitter sees no big celeb uses of streaming yet. No one wants to put something up w/no moderation tools

                      MattSaccaro While moderation tools exist on *literally* every other platform. W/o them Twitter never will win at user-created live video.

                        MattSaccaro There isn't even a ton of Twitter-hosted not-live video for exactly this reason.

                          MattSaccaro I love Twitter but it is filled with shitty people & no tools to control their impact and that will eventually sink the company
