Just now noticed that all those features are "coming soon." They are literally only paying for a check mark.

This is only a one-time $8, knowing that account will probably get nuked. Others are subscribing for :eightbux: for a png that means nothing

Don't be ridiculous, they're not testing in prod.

They're making poo poo up as they go, swerving out of control trying to satisfy the capricious whims of their owner, who is a terrible leader and businessman.

In prod.

I don't know who Dril was on the forums, but apparently he was (is?) indeed a goon. People post his tweets because they find him funny. He's part of what used to be called "weird Twitter", a Twitter community dedicated to, well, the kind of humor exemplified by Dril. That kind of humor has been (is) popular here and wherever people spend too much time on the internet.

Don't overthink it: Goons find Dril funny, his humor meshes well with SA, so goons post his tweets a lot.

I believe yes he was a goon. I'm no expert but I think 'weird twitter' subculture/humour came from fyad or something and so you have a large subset of twitter utilizing memes and language directly from sa> and also some users like dril continue to be cool and influential over there. But I'm pretty hazy on the deets and I'm sure somebody who was there can clarify. All I know is twitter sucks and elon is like this boomer gatecrashing the cool kids party and everything sucks and just stop oil is funded by big oil so all we are is content for lovely adam curtis documentaries at this point

Do they actually update the TOS and make all users re-agree to them, or does he make pronouncements and expect everyone to read his tweets and obey?

I saw a claim that the Twitter policy enforcement teams are not informed of his latest brain droppings ahead of time, and instead are literally finding out about them the same way you are: via his public tweets. Then they scramble to try to interpret and enforce the mad king's latest idea.

Updating the TOS would imply there's some kind of sane process being followed. There is not.

Elons plight reminds me of how the anarchism subreddit is so full of mods and has such strict rules because internet dweebs cannot handle any amount of power before going full despot in the name of their ideals. 'Comedy is now legal on twitter' is just such dumb animal farm poo poo. I give twitter four months before it dies forever and the critical mass of users move to d&d or some poo poo.
