I hope it does. Being a paid blue-check-haver is a near 100% signal for having a terrible opinion, but they've tried to make the blue tick ambiguous so you cant tell if they paid.

I'm actually shocked at how correlated paying for the blue check is for being just a rock-dumb motherfucker. I assumed that there would be a bunch of normal people that bought it for editing, not because they're Elon bootlickers, but nope they're nearly all loving morons.

Edit doesn't matter to 99.9% of users. Deleting and reposting is free and just as good since most tweets get no replies or retweets.

Same here for the most part. Although Twitter really wants to push semi-random foreign language corporate accounts on me so that's something new...

anecdotally the content in the feed isn't that bad for me now, the main problem is it repeats itself constantly and randomly rearranges itself

for a while it was pushing all kinds of random garbage, though it will probably revert to that when elon gets bored and starts pressing buttons again

Elon accusing everyone using the API for free of "downloading the whole Twitter database" is like that bash.org quote

<NES> I download something from Napster
<NES> And the same guy I downloaded it from starts downloading it from me when I'm done

So I'm a bit dumb about these things, but did Musk put up Tesla stock as collateral on the loan(s?) to buy Twitter? I'm wondering because I want to know if it's possible that he'll eat an extremely hilarious margin call.
