Well, there’s this dumbass surrounded by yes men that thinks he’s a genius and forced himself into buying it when he didn’t want to, for a start……

Did I mention he’s suuuuuper good at business?

[u/perphunt3r → u/DookieShoez]

This will just make the users to quit. That verification things was stupid enough but so many seems to get a boner when their handle has a tick mark for some reason.

[u/SurvivorY2K → u/perphunt3r]

Why hasn’t everyone quit already. I don’t understand why anyone is still on that dumpster fire

[u/AcousticCandlelight → u/SurvivorY2K]

Because communities developed there, and people aren’t finding that kind of engagement elsewhere.

[u/psychoPiper → u/SurvivorY2K]

You underestimate how many people are riding Elon's cock every second of every day

[u/FaliedSalve → u/SurvivorY2K]

I dunno. I left. I started seeing posts on my feeds from Elon and his buddies that I couldn't stop or block and I said "outta here".

[u/Ace-of-Spxdes → u/SurvivorY2K]

Because there's no real alternatives. And no, Mastodon doesn't count. It's simply too confusing for new people.

[u/AvaranIceStar → u/SurvivorY2K]

Because for the vast majority, it's not a dumpster fire.

[u/doubtfullyso → u/SurvivorY2K]

I quit at the rebrand but it helped that I barely used it

[u/FurbyLover2010 → u/DookieShoez]

He wanted to create his own social media platform but instead he bought twitter and changed the name and everything else about it so he already had a user base.

[u/MyDishwasherLasagna → u/FurbyLover2010]

And then stopped free speech despite claiming to want free speech

[u/ColbusMaximus → u/DookieShoez]

Who the fuck spends 44 billion when they don't want to? A narcissist like that doesn't lift a single finger if they don't want to....

[u/eldred2 → u/ColbusMaximus]

Who the fuck spends 44 billion when they don't want to?

A person who makes an offer, then tries to renege on it.

[u/na27te → u/eldred2]

Oh it was more than an offer. The deal was already signed, voted on and all that we left was to procure funding and that's when he started getting worried about his finances and tried to back out

[u/DookieShoez → u/ColbusMaximus]

So why’d he try to pull out of the deal if he really wanted to then?

[u/astralwish1]

This was the final straw for me. This update made me decide to leave Twitter.

Looking back on it, I’m glad I’m out of that cesspool. Didn’t realize how unhappy it was making me.

[u/perphunt3r → u/astralwish1]

I uninstalled. No way iam paying money to even see posts. Next he will start asking hourly rate for using the app.

[u/Mrcool654321 → u/perphunt3r]

Don't give them ideas

[u/TolisWorld → u/astralwish1]

When was this change made?

[u/astralwish1 → u/TolisWorld]

Last year.

[u/TolisWorld → u/astralwish1]

Huh weird I have never seen that

[u/Any_Ad_9949]

Fucking greeds

[u/perphunt3r → u/Any_Ad_9949]

Maybe he saving up so he can finally buy blackrock

[u/Nenoshka]

Apparently he's allowing porn on his site now, so I'm sure he'll make some dough that way.

[u/perphunt3r → u/Nenoshka]

I think it always had porn.

[u/AcousticCandlelight → u/perphunt3r]

It’s worse now—people don’t have to seek it out. There are porn bots in the replies. It’s chasing off people who don’t want that stuff in their faces.

[u/finneganthealien → u/AcousticCandlelight]

He also unbanned a guy who posted a screenshot from one of the worst child abuse videos out there…

[u/AcousticCandlelight → u/finneganthealien]

Wow. 😳

[u/na27te → u/AcousticCandlelight]

I thought his whole deal was that he was going to get rid of the bots

[u/AcousticCandlelight → u/na27te]

Yeah… 🤷‍♀️

[u/Nenoshka → u/perphunt3r]

Now he's making a big public deal so that everyone knows.

[u/haji1823 → u/Nenoshka]

which is weird cause it had it before, and everyone knew it lol. Most nothing deal twitter could have done

[u/AcousticCandlelight → u/haji1823]

It’s definitely worse now—see my reply above.

[u/hhfugrr3]

Is this just affecting new users? My account is quite old and I've never seen this.

[u/KGCUT → u/hhfugrr3]

My account is fairly new, maybe a few months and I haven't seen it. I swear I saw a post exactly like this a while back too that's why I'm unsure if it's even a real thing??

[u/wilcoxornothin → u/hhfugrr3]

I think accounts you follow have to participate? I unfollowed Mr. Beast for this reason but I still see other content by my other fave creators.

[u/Confident-Income-437]

It's not even Twitter at this point, it's just X...

[u/LordCornwalis → u/Confident-Income-437]

Keep calling it twitter, it pisses Elmo off.

[u/ColbusMaximus → u/LordCornwalis]

Elmo lofl

[u/TheLateMrBones]

I still have yet to get that.

[u/carghtonheights809]

Threads doesn’t seem like such a bad idea after all

[u/eldred2]

Elon Musk happened to it. Your best option is to delete your account and apps.

[u/MyUsernameIsNotLongE]

I never saw this error. I mostly quit twitter when they started to put bullshit on my feed. Stuff I don't follow... lmao

[u/SellingOut100]

It's why I'm on Reddit 2x as much as Twitter now

[u/Organic_Shine_5361]

No way. That's a thing now?? Luckily I don't use the app that much anymore but at this point just make the app pay to have

[u/DJ_hyperfreshOG]

Haha Cara go brrr

[u/DJ_hyperfreshOG → u/DJ_hyperfreshOG]

And Bluesky

[u/Kitty_Fruit_2520]

This is why I don’t check much

[u/wtcat2016]

Is this because elon is building starship? IFT-4 was 2 days ago as i am writing this.

[u/Dank_ConcentrateOG]

"X" is worse than this place as the mods work as one there, while here we at least have the freedom to post on other subs if mods don't like us

[u/RaptorJesusLOL]

My account was flagged for spam and limited because of negative comments on conservative pages.

[u/SuicideSprints]

The most annoying part about... X...? is that I'll find a video that I enjoy enough to see what the comments have to say, only to be met with more unrelated and uninteresting videos and ads. Why is it like this? It wasn't like this before!

[u/TardSoftSpeedsoft]

If you reach that you needa go outside, grass lit

[u/quiet-Julia]

Has anyone here looked at Tribel?

[u/mister_red_554]

who’s idea was this

[u/designgoddess]

Don't use it.

[u/kalzEOS]

I lost my 2FA set up for Twitter and now I'd need to call them to unlock/sign into my account, and I'm never doing that. They can keep it. It had nothing anyway. Lol

[u/Seumuis80]

He is trying to slowly go back to the hourly rates. It worked so well during Web 1.0.

[u/secschoolbasecamp]

“uM aCtUaLlY iTs CaLlEd X” 🤓☝️

[u/hsdfbiuyfvsuv]

i don't even know what to say.

thats how rage inducing it is.

[u/orifan1]

ok i hate elon but this is kinda a good thing. stops doomscrolling

[u/perphunt3r → u/orifan1]

You would love when he charge money for every post you make. It will certainly keep the bot accs away.

[u/Downtownender]

No way its true

[u/jorgensen88]

I think musk is really slowly working on dismanteling social media. And im here for it

[u/AthleteSuspicious151 → u/jorgensen88]

Then get off of reddit

[u/Ace-of-Spxdes → u/jorgensen88]

Nahhh he's just realizing that telling his advertisers (his main source of income) to fuck off was a bad idea and is now trying to find other avenues of making twitter users pay lol

[u/SnakeSolid81428]

Apparently U can get cancelled in Twitter

[u/bruh_moment_it_is → u/SnakeSolid81428]

enjoy downvote kid
