LOL this is ridiculous. Great work Elon!

Elon will be happy to know that my Twitter consumption has fallen to zero a day.

Simply put this is the most amazing thing the twit did to Twitter since forcing himself as King Twit. Even better than when he tried to back out of it but couldn't because he'd already signed for it.

You really can’t make this stuff up, it’s beyond my head how someone can make those choices. But I mean advertisers already ditched Twitter long ago, so why not squeeze the last money out of it that you can get.

The good thing is that it will reduce my twitter time to less than 30 minutes.

So, let's see. My 1920x1080 monitor and my full window browser can render 3 or 4 posts without scrolling, just logging in on Twitter. Because it's a new account, that means I have 296 posts left to read.

I click on one of those 4 initial posts, and without scrolling, I read 3 or 4 replies. I have 292 posts left to read. And even those replies don't bring me anything meaningful, they're just trolls doing troll things. 4 posts wasted.

And so on and so on. Wonderful, Mr. Free Speech Absolutist.

This is utterly insane. Twitter has basically become pay-to-use. I give it less than a day for him to walk this back.

The site is holding on by a thread. I suspect their hands are tied.

[-] EliasChao@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Why would you punish your users for using your fucking site? It’s kinda sad how Elon is ruining Twitter.

[-] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Well, Twitter is a mobile game now... Is there something to consider it a gacha?

[-] MsPenguinette 1 points 2 years ago

Another Elon has hit the Twitter

[-] leonardo_arachoo@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Is there a link to the tweet or did I miss it? I think you should link the tweet because screenshots are so easy to fake and (in other situations) to give credit
