500M tweets/day (and growing) is 5787 tweets/sec. What is likely TPS for final tweet-txns (typos4evar ;-) of Solana given the contention from worst-case and average user load? Not 50KTPS.

No such blockchain exists. The scale is daunting: omnicoreagency.com/twitter-statis: 500M tweets/day. This begets centralization and advertising as implicit revenue model. People generally won’t pay in an explicit quid pro quo arrangement; at least no one has demonstrated many will do so.

right now solana can get up to 50k TPS, which is enough for Twitter most of the time but not always.
but Solana's capacity is also going to grow another few orders of magnitude in the next year or two which should make it almost always able to handle Twitter's load.
Ultimately though, people don’t truly want censorship resistant platforms. That includes child pornography, gore, and other shit you don’t want to see. You always need people to moderate the content. Even 4chan is moderated to some extent and look at the cesspool of garbage there

I'm sure there's a middle ground between censored techno-fascist service and child porn promotion ring.

As much as ethereum is TC. Right now there are no self scheduling events.
