Breaking news: Twitter to be accessible only from Second World virtual kiosks

What do you think the next likely thing is:

A.) Full steam ahead on this and Twitter remains less accessible in general
B.) A hasty walk-back without mentioning that it ever happened and hoping no one notices
C.) A third, even dumber thing

He’ll announce that it was done to stop bots/scrapers and all the Blue checks will tell him how amazing it is.

It's a testament to either Elon's lack of creativity or coders on staff that he hasn't just implemented code to jack up view counts and likes at random times to give the appearance of engagement

In other words, the Chad scrapers were so loving alpha they took down the entire site. But they didn't count on going up against Elon's huge brain. Can't have a degraded user experience if you don't have any users.

drat it's almost like it was incredibly stupid to force everyone to pay a shitload of money for access to twitter's API and then intentionally degrade the content you get for paying for twitter's API so that people would just prefer to scrape it instead
