First Twitter, then Reddit. Can Facebook be the next social media platform to join the race to the bottom?
I checked my settings after I heard this yesterday and they were unchanged.
I only use Twitter for sports news and updates that basically don’t exist anywhere else. It would be unfortunate if they destroy the platform with crap like this.
All the major sports news journalists have a Mastodon account that repeats what the post on Twitter as a backup.
Thanks I didn’t know that, I have never used Mastodon. I also follow some athletes and less popular college sports on twitter. I doubt they are there but I’m signing up now to find out.
Elon: why is our revenue tanking?
Why won’t people give me money for what used to he free? I don’t get it.
I mean, I would have. If at the beginning of the API mess they had said “Hey, baconreader is now going to be 10$ a month”, I wouldn’t have blinked.
The longer this shitshow goes on, the dumber Elon looks. Who could idolize him at this point?
My parents, tryna force me to work for him cause “he’s such a great person! Could you do a better job than him!”.
Mostly my dad suggesting me to be “the next musk” which honestly horrifies me
And you don’t immediately respond asking for some startup cash?
Just their way of saying they want ten in-vitro grandchildren who all hate you
Could you do a better job than him
“I could’ve not drunk-bought Twitter, thereby saving $44 billion.”
if it annoys you to worship him they’ll do it twice as hard.
Racist homophobic incels.
And he panders for that crowd hard, which only makes him look more pathetic.
twitter is becomming painful to use everyday
Why not move to Mastodon?
It would be interesting to see it all lead up to some master plan like Elon gaining some hug political favor or something with all his actions with someone.
Why do you think he needs a hug ?
Someone whose name rhymes with pootin.
You kinda hope this is leading somewhere and it’s not just some crazy dude drunk with power hurtling the ship nose first into an iceberg.
But you can change it back. Here’s how.
At this point, why even bother?
Just leave the god damn platform :)
And you’re relying on anyone else you want to DM changing that setting too. Otherwise, you’re SOL even if you’ve changed it on your end.
I never had a Twitter to begin with. I’m certainty not going to get one now lol.
Same here, never had a Twitter account, never will.
Haha wow. What next?!
I’m actually surprised anyone is left on that shell of a platform.
What next? It’s time to get some more popcorn, because this story just keeps on getting better and better.
Next will be the inability to switch it off…
Musk wants everyone to pay for twitter. He’s insane, but is consistent.
I’ve always had twitter but never really used it at all apart from contacting companies when I couldn’t resolve things the normal way.
Think it’s time to delete it.
I’m astounded that people use it for anything other than this. I have received some decently fast customer service via twitter. However one glance at the content and I got tf out.
It stays on my phone for the sole reason that I have notifications turned on from a local weather account
Geez, Elon, I already deleted my account two weeks ago! I don’t need more convincing to leave!
We need him to find the niveau.
To be honest, this is the only reason why I still have Twitter. I use it to contact various companies and ask for tech support. If I can’t do that now, then there’s no point to keep the account alive. Self-proclaimed genius is kind of an idiot. Just recently he complained about 50% drop rate in ad revenue, after killing ability to view tweets without account.
It is not meant for companies and companies who regularly talk to customers on twitter will definitely turn this feature off. So you will likely still be able to talk with any company that wants to talk with its customers on twitter.
It is meant for regular folks who get lot of unsolicited spam in their inboxes. It puts an immediate stop to those. So in that sense, it’s a tricky but good move.
I sure hope they check regularly; the setting seems to reset every other days to “only blue people”.
I went and checked and you are right. All those companies that matter to me don’t have the blue thing.
They don’t need a blue thing just to talk. They can just turn the feature off and they will be available to receive messages again from their customers. It’s just as simple as it was earlier to keep your messages open or closed to general public.

Because the short-term equation is easy:
Would you rather have 10 users paying nothing but taking up server space and bandwidth? Or would you prefer 1 paying user and 9 people leaving? In the short term, option B is a win-win.
And if that leads to Twitter becoming a dead husk of itself, oh well, that’s a problem for next quarter
Because he’s been fucking them for 6 months and they haven’t left.
I did, and some others have. But most people are still sitting there on his platform, whining about how shitty it is, while keeping him in power by staying.
Damn, Mr. Musk could have made more money betting on stocks mentioned in r/wallstreetbets, and they ALWAYS lose money. Dude seriously needs to have twitter do the opposite of what he thinks.
I have never seen a billionaire try to go from billions to zero so hard in my life. It is like he is showing the U.S. government why billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Is there a fund that lets me do long term shorts on rich people?
Hey now, I actually made some money on GameStop and AMC thanks to WSB.
I made a lot of money from GME. I bought a bunch of shares early on for $10-$50 and sold the morning when Robinhood yanked the buy button. However, most WSB plays are money losers.
There’s an inverse Cramer fund but I think that’s as close as you’ll get
Elon Musk is so smart and innovative…
…no, I got nothin’.
Apparently neither does he.
