I wonder if reddit, twitter and youtube all got around a table one day and decided that no, actually, screw the users entirely.

Because they are all doing really bizzare things.

Based on how much Mastodon is struggling right now, I'm guessing they're getting another boost today, too..

LOL I do not miss Twitter a bit.

I've been saying it for months. Teslas are inherantly unsafe and I won't ride in one.

Putting that 44 billion to work

Guess Mastodon is gonna get hit by a wave of newcomers...

Phrased like Trump would say

Crawlers and scrapper bots consume a fuckload of traffic, that much is true. But I think it's a bit too late, there's already enough "twitter warehouse of posts in X language" to feed most AI needs, at least for coming up with short answers.

Also, I can't believe Elon did something that could be generally seen as a good thing overall (forcing people to spend less time on twitter)
