Comments by "" (@sirtra) on "Scandal and Betrayal: The Story of How Twitter Started" video.

So in summary, Noah: 1) did not come up with the original concept, Jack did 2) did not work on the original code, Jack did 3) did not take on the financial risk of twitter before twitter took off, Evan did 4) did not work for, contribute or assist in any way for the initial explosion of twitter, he sat in the audience watching It seems all that Noah did was convince Evan that Jack's idea had potential and to put him in charge during the early days. Yeah nah, Noah didnt create twitter.

@Auragin01 do you think Bill Gates built MS DOS/Windows/Office? Or Steve Jobs built the first Apple/Mac/iPhone? Or Jeff Bezos built the first online book store? Elon Musk built the first electric vehicle? If you think the hard part of creating twitter was building the website then why hasn't Noah achieved anything since? Great minds and leaders don't simply have one good idea their entire lives nor are they necessarily the ones who come up with the idea/concept in the first place. What matters is not who gets the bragging rights to say they thought of it first but who actually has the overall leadership and skills to turn an idea or concept into a reality... and that requires far more than building a website (even if the product is a website itself) or cashflow. But sure, lets cry a tear for poor old Noah whose single life changing idea of building a social media platform was stolen from him, right from under him after working so tirelessly on it for months.. how coud he have ever foreseen this from happening and taken steps to prevent it in advance... what an impossible feat for someone with such an impressive mind

@Auragin01 what did "they" do to him that was wrong? You've made a lot of arbitrary assumptions about Noah but have said nothing about what exact "wrong" was done to him?

@Auragin01 i think the only one of the two of us who is outraged here is you. I asked a relatively simple question and got a response with yet more assumptions, a profanity and yet still no clear answer. In fact, you seem to be asking me to explain it to you with the "what the %/&#" remark?! 🤔 At best i can interpret your rant as "its not what Jack did but rather what he didn't do for Noah that i have a problem with" and it seems to all hinge on interpersonal issues. For the record i think Jack is an absolute tool and an awful person - don't assume my indifference towards Noah is an endorsement of Jack or his behavior. Likewise for many of the other ppl i listed before, i utterly despise Bill Gates' behavior but it's undeniable that he had the biggest influence to Microsoft's success.

@Auragin01 what are we disagreeing about? If you aren't able to articulate what "wrong" was done to Noah in a clear and concise manner, then i'd argue that it is you who can't fully grasp the situation or understand the nuances to it, not myself. Having a conversation requires nothing more than open dialogue, so far it seems like you're quite eneaged about something but aren't able to explain it. Cool story bro...?
