        In most discussions about twitter on HN, a bunch of devs drop in to say bot removal is so easy twitter obv. must not care at all. Turns out twitter is removing ~1M bots/day. Twitter only has ~300M MAU, making the error tolerance v. low. This seems like a really hard problem.pic.twitter.com/Urm0t1MH57

        One thing I think is interesting is that increased scale doesn't seem to help here. Despite Zuck's bluster, I get about the same amount of spam in FB as I get in Twitter and Gmail sends me more spam than either despite probably investing much more effort in spam prevention.pic.twitter.com/LPUECycJ5n

        ". . . It’s why Twitter can’t do as good of a job as we can. I mean, they face, qualitatively, the same types of issues. But they can’t put in the investment. Our investment on safety is bigger than the whole revenue of their company. [laughter] And yeah, we’re operating on a bigger scale, but it’s not like they face qualitatively different questions. They have all the same types of issues that we do."

        On the flip side, the least spammy/noisy forums I read are tiny, small enough that they can be moderated by 1-2 people. You see the same thing in other areas too, e.g., Windows has more malware risk than Mac, which has more risk than niche stuff like Haiku or Illumos.

        Sure, big platforms have more resources, but they're also bigger targets. I don't think it's obvious a priori which of these factors should win but, with current technology, it looks like being a smaller target is more effective than throwing money at the problem.

        I'd say stream-of-consciousness a slight decrease in quality that's more than made up for by the increase in quantity.

        @emilyst search engines are exceptionally complex. you're right that org problems are expensive but those are caused by hiring

        most people at tech companies are hired because the money is there and there's a perception that growth = headcount growth

        small mistake: "except that when you talk to companies that handle their own billing, except that when you talk to companies that.."
