Sorry, but how does being a random shareholder imply that business is being conducted in the most efficient manner? Just because a company had an IPO doesn't mean it will make the most sensible decisions. I'm not saying Twitter is being irresponsible as I have zero knowledge of their organization internals.

I just meant that I (working in the software industry) know that something like a font choice is a small matter for a company (even though it might be a big deal to a few employees working the project). And I know that if they are re-assigning software engineers to work on choosing fonts and other design matters, employees would be quitting Twitter in large numbers (which hasn't happened).

(Note: I had updated my above comment grammatically to clarify that I'm referring to the original commenter as a shareholder, not myself).
