Let's imagine you work as an assistant to Robach, and now you gotta do all this extra work, that isn't in your job description, for Holmes because of their triste.

See how that can become a problem really quickly?

Fraternizing can affect other people in the business in a really negative way, and that isn't fair to them.

Well then what's it for then? Because there aren't any good reasons for limiting conversation like that.

It hinders discussions. Important discussion and real, actually meaningful discussions cannot be had on Twitter currently.

Considering that Twitter only made a profit for two years in it's entire existence, perhaps they never even knew what they were good for.

Well if anything there is value to be extracted here in how not to do it. That can be almost as important as doing it right. I would argue in fact we are too scared to fail or validate, which has helped lead to a massive replication problem in science.

It's a real problem they are trying to solve, imo. Whether Facebook should solve that problem is another question altogether, but it's not like this unheard of either. IBM paid the guy who came up with relational algebra, and the structured query language on top of that, which benefitted the entire world greatly to this day and well into the future.
