It's not a git revert. It is active effort to create a new emoji. There's zero cost to leaving it alone, there's material cost to changing it. Last time I checked, that's a bad way for a company that nearly went out of business to prioritize.

Well, I guess we'll just see how it pays off for them.

It's already making buzz so if it was an hour of work, I'd say the marketing effect alone was worth it.

Noone is saying that.

I'm simply saying you're talking about Twitter right now because of it, and it was a small change.

You know it was if you're an engineer, let's not play dumb.

Not sure why everything relating to X has to be so hostile.

The original change was for ideological reasons and this change is for ideological reasons too. Both are same stupid waste of time.

If you think the first change was stupid, why would you support keeping it?

Ideological.

All the people arguing both sides of this, then and now, are motivated by ideology. That includes the parent post you replied to, me, you, Elon, etc.

People often argue over cultural changes. And then there's politics on top of that. And in Elon's case perhaps publicity, also.

Because it's the change that's stupid.
