      While I really want to give benefit of doubt, esp these days... am sure it'd be giving too much credit where prob. undeserved. One can at least hope that, even if they chopped him out, acted like he didn't exist & wasn't a part of, publicly................ That, at the very least, even just behind the scenes, they've done the right thing & have 'taken care of' Noah. All considered, they have way more than the means..... to just make sure Noah never wants or needs for.... anything, ever!!!!!! Again, a nice thought I guess..... tho integrity seems to be quite the dying trait these days! Only getting worse by the day, kindness, common courtesy/decency, respect, honesty, compassion/empathy, maturity & any shred of integrity..... seems to have become more like some rare gems, unfortunately...... rather than the norm! Follow through, enforcement & holding people accountable "until" for their bad behavior.... & issuing tangible consequences (ones people will hesitate to fear when considering wrong-doing) then making an example of THAT... really needs to happen. Instead, all I see is repeated patterns of looking the other way, people facing NO consequences & worse.... Time & time again, only being REWARDED by all..... for their poor choices, illegal activity, rule breaking, boundary crossing, self-serving, manipulative AF & narcissistic actions! =/ No longer does anyone seem to pause & think, "omg.. why would I? How could I? OR....But, what IF I??!" Instead, looking around at the horrendous examples of 'success', most just prob think, "Pffft... well why wouldn't I, then, too?!" Sad. Feels like we're living in the Twilight Zone.. idk what has happened to humanity! Hope Noah is doing well, whatever he is doing & wherever he is these days!!!! Seems.. he deserves it... earned it..... recognized, or not. :) Anyway... stay safe & be well.

      ​​@Yesnotes - How is it possible for an ENEMY to BETRAY you? Doesn't "betray" mean that you TURN AGAINST someone with whom you are allied? Isn't an "enemy" someone who is NOT allied with you? How can an enemy "turn against" you when they are ALREADY (by definition) against you?

      Yeah, it's very traumatic to be betrayed in general. That was years in the making, too.
      That's why stories like The Gingerbread Man, Little Red Riding Hood, and many others are so scary. It makes someone doubt their own judgement, their reality, and their safety. That's VERY traumatic. AND they made a lot of money, which was probably very important to him, too... especially if he was in a divorce and still in his 20s.

      Sadly happens a lot. All someone has to do is fire you as things take off and you're out unless you have a core stake in the company. If you're in early enough AND you know your worth and focus on legalities over friendship you might be okay. Do things right and worst case you're forced out with your ownership intact, but it can be a hairy thing when it comes to that kind of money.

    I don't subscribe to many RUclips channels but this is definitely one them!!! I just realized I have been watching ColdFusion videos for the last 4 hours and have yet to wonder why I'm doing it. These are very informative and Dagogo has a GREAT voice as the narrator. There is a wealth of information in every episode and it is never boring and always leaves you wanting more ... and it gives you more right up to the very end of the company or the predictions of where the company will go in the future. He gives you information about things you never knew about .. the behind the scenes if you will. He makes you say "WOW" when you find out things you never knew about a company. Well Done Sir! Keep it up from DownUnder!

      Dorsey has shown that he'll gladly screw over anyone who doesn't agree with his politics. That kind of person is called a tyrant at heart, and in this case a tyrant in action. There would be no important difference between him and Hitler if he ever got any significant government power. Leftists, like all tyrants, can justify anything for the sake of their utopia. which is the basic problem with the idea of utopia in the first place - it seems so good and "fair" that it's well worth any cruelty, and those who are seen as standing in it's way "deserve" whatever they get from the fascists who must have absolute power in order to achieve it.

    I've always wondered what triggered Jack to become so obsessed with mindfulness and meditation. Initially I thought it had everything to do with the fact that Twitter is largely a negative externality machine, but now I think there might be more than just that demon for him to deal with.

      And if you get flagged it takes like 2 weeks (2 months now) to get unflagged during which time you can't even see tweets. Even when your post is clearly not offensive and some twat just flagged it because they're butthurt.
      And I don't even use it much, it's kind of a stupid app, so I almost don't even care, it's just kind of annoying when I want to tweet and I can't. Which is like once a month, not very often.

    Noah made the wrong move by not divesting the company sooner, or founding it as another startup. It gave Evan the opportunity for a hostile takeover. Kicking him out was a logical action once he became majority shareholder. But what Dorsey did was downright scummy.

    Just watched this. Bearing in mind that there are two sides to every story, it seems like Ev is a ruthless man. There's the way third party Twitter aps were squeezed out. Then there's a bait and switch approach to content creators on Medium which was one of his next ventures.
