Tech Thread

it's truly amazing that Elon, after all this time, still can't understand why they have a blue check program in the first place.

i mean he can't be this dumb, so he must on some level be aware of it.

but then his solution of making money off of blue check marks is try spend much of his time making sure everyone thinks it's lame and pathetic to pay for it, rather than cool and worthwhile.

i've never seen anything quite like it.
 
I love how his 8 dollar army are after him to do this. Their desire for unearned importance in the world is palpable.

He's got 2 choices going forward.

1) Remove the boost the blue check mark gets
2) Watch his platform become unusable

No one wants Dogedesigner6969420's tweets forced on their timeline. I'm already blocking tons of weirdo maga accounts forced on me whenever I don't notice that the app has flipped me to the "for you" timeline, like it fucking does constantly. When those are the only accounts getting boosted, the platform is officially dead.
 
he did also say people you follow will appear or be boosted in the "For you" section.

but still, it seems extremely likely that this will go down in history as one of the dumbest business decisions ever made. i mean it would be a huge win for Twitter if this only ends up as a minor disaster.
