The societal inertia of these networks is the value. It could be both true that the code is terrible and that their are millions of daily users. Just having a better product does not mean you will ge worth more or have more users.
Now is murk correct? Probably not but saying the code is what drives value just isn’t true at this point. If it was just code people would already be gone. It’s the difficulty in moving together that creates a barrier to leave.

No, the point is Twitter has a tiny user base, around 400 million, as I said around the same size as Pinterest, if you looked at the stack and thought 'this is ####e and needs to be rewritten' before you spent 44 BILLION on it you would clearly spend 4 or 5 billion writing a better code, starting a better company and wiping Twitter out, no one in their right mind would buy something that has a tiny user base, makes very little money and also has a good awful stack for 44 billion, he's nuts, a bull#### merchant and a ####e businessman
