People seem to think he’s trying to make X successful. That’s not the point at all. He’s trying to convert what was once a useful commons into a smoking hole full of trolls and conspiracy theories. There’s just no other reasonable way to look at his actions.
I’ve been saying this for awhile now. It’s the only reason he made that very public offer at the specific price he put out. He knew he couldn’t back out. He knew the line he was crossing so it wasn’t a spur of the moment purchase. He got Larry Ellison and a Saudi Investor involved. They didn’t all have the same crazy idea. These guys know they’re on the hook to the bank for whatever but between the 3 of them they’ll cover the losses and this big hub of rumor/news sharing will die. and they can stay mostly unharmed.
If you’re still on Twitter, you’re part of the problem.
We should call it XDeck.
looks like shit
Should be renamed to XD-eck.
Xflippin’eck
X has finally formally announced X Pro, two days after TweetDeck users started noticing the new branding and paywall.
Shouldn’t this be illegal? Implementing a sudden paywall on a previously free feature without prior warning. LMAO

More like he’s running around with a gun and shooting new holes into the water tank instead of trying to seal anything.

I see Twitter as a ship too big to maneuver. Then one day it got bought and a new captain comes aboard. He deliberately breaks the hull here and there to make the ship lighter and more agile, and also fired half of the hands on deck. The ship’s taking on water faster now. He also painted over her name. Despite all this, the majority of souls on board would rather sink with the ship than jump overboard.

And, he’s pissing and shitting in the tank, and inviting other pissers and shitters back to the tank.
