So here's what is likely happening.

There is a huge campaign to block the blue. Being blocked is a pretty significant ding on your audience value according to the almighty algo. So these muppets who bought the blue and have been blocked by 10's-100's of thousands of accounts in the last few weeks are seeing their reach crater.

Elon's response to this will either be altering the algo to remove the reach penalty for being blocked by a significant % of accounts, or straight up making twitter blue accounts unblockable.

add every blue check mark you see to your blocked list.

I've been hitting up a few accounts known to agitate them and checking the comments, they're piled nice and neatly at the top raging about Trans, CRT, Biden, etc, etc, etc. Block, block, block.

Nah, I doubt there is a way to autoblock. Just keep an eye out for them during your normal twitter travels and block away

Blue checks showing up first means any tweet that gets a decent number of comments is basically a MAGAt-fest.

For anyone not paying attention, TSLA stock appears to be shitting out again.

Down 20% this month

so weird that someone whose entire fortune has come from winning government contracts would censor to win the favor of governments.

Man, I want so badly for someone to come along and successfully toss Elon’s Twitter into the dustbin of digital history alongside the likes of MySpace & Digg.
