Quite. I don't tend to notice who is posting apart from some people with really recognisable avatars, but this thread took a massive nosedive.

Yeah it just got shitter with way more white noise posting. I�m glad it�s back to normal.

I doubt folks are routinely checking post histories, just when somebody�s acting like a dickhead if they�re doing it at all.

I thought Twitter was a terrible app 2 years ago, somehow they make it worse and worse every week. It's honestly impressive.

Twitter's prior leadership was routinely lambasted for being pretty terrible in most regards

and in comes Elon to show just how much worse it could be.

Honestly, good

The more prominent users they drive away from the Nazi site the less excuses people will have to stay on the Nazi site

Keep banning every decent human on there who is too addicted to leave

I feel like this is an account I should remember from my time there, but it�s been a long time, and I don�t.

Was this person making fun of him for removing the headlines from links?

The rollout of these ads also provides the public with a hint regarding just how much the company is struggling to attract advertisers.

The type of content being promoted in the ads that Mashable has viewed appear to be consistent with ads found in spammy, low quality "chumbox" advertising � typically defined as those clickbait ads found at the bottom of posts on content farm sites � made popular by native ad networks like Taboola.

"This Seems Unbelievable, But Happens in Dubai Everyday" reads one ad that takes users to a third-party content mill website, overloaded with ads of its own. "These Incredibly Cool Gadgets That Are Going To Sell Out This Year. Action Now!" and "If you suffer from ringing ears (Tinnitus) you're going to love this recent breakthrough" are other examples of some of the content found in these X ads.

Users who have seen these X ads report being taken to a third-party website in a new window upon clicking anywhere within the ad, including when they try to click on the fake avatar. There is no X post to open nor is there a user profile attached to the ad to visit. So far, Mashable has seen these ads served to users within X's mobile apps. Its unclear if the ads are also running on the web version of the platform.

Mashable was able to find advertisements similar to the aforementioned X ads using the same exact text copy running through ad networks on Yahoo and Taboola competitors like RevContent. Mashable could not locate this X ad format in the platform's ad campaign manager so it appears these ads are actually being served by a third-party ad provider.

Nah, could have done that week one.
Just shut down everything, sell off all the building stuff, sell the personal info to the highest bidder, claimed the world is better now leftie Twitter is dead, then hosed off back to his grimes wanking closet shrine until the end of time.

Every time you think of an explanation that is "I Wonder if Elon had some long term plan..." stop yourself and realize nope. He's just that stupid. He is doing what he thinks is best for the site, which is what makes the site more into the alt right paradise he is desperately addicted to. Any choice that doesn't work is the fault of prior owners or the engineer who he made implement it (who is now fired)
