His fans have changed like the wind. He was very anti fossil fuels/pro climate at first which got his initial following. Then he got the attention of crypto bros. Then he couldn't figure out how to reconcile crypto with climate so he dropped both at the same time and moved on to right wing grifting freeze peach.

That's not a lot at all. It's not just reading, it's scrolling past stuff. I don't even follow 100 people, and reach that amount in no time.

He needed to increase the counts by 10x at least. Things weren't slightly off, they were off by at least an entire order of magnitude.

And since every time he does it, it instantly generates thousands of responses, it'll instantanously break the limit every time somebody clicks on the new tweet.

He's getting stuck in a positive feedback loop of his own incompetance and is completely incapable of solving it...

You know what's even more annoying than social media? Whiny "le wrong generation" snowflakes crying about how it and the entire Internet are the worst thing ever.

"But I'm tired of millionaires thinking we care about what they ate for lunch and what their political opinions are". Ok, then look at literally any other of the billions of posts and only follow what interests you.

It's like saying movies or video games need to end because some you don't care about exist.

Elon made this change because he is refusing to pay Google for services that Twitter used that expire July 1st.

https://www.engadget.com/twitter-has-reportedly-refused-to-pay-its-google-cloud-contract-161936042.html

More platform instability could be in Twitters near future. In 2018, Twitter signed a $1 billion contract with Google to host some of its services on the companys Google Cloud servers. Platformer reports Twitter recently refused to pay the search giant ahead of the contracts June 30th renewal date. Twitter is reportedly rushing to move as many services off of Googles infrastructure before the contract expires, but the effort is running behind schedule, putting some tools, including Smyte, a platform the company acquired in 2018 to bolster its moderation capabilities, in danger of going offline.

Edit: I see I am late to this news lol.

Okay, so we know that social media is living of some basic things:

1) Making it's users wasting there as much as time as possible
2) Letting them engage with each other as much as possible
3) shove them as many ads into their face as possible.

Elon just limited that.

I have to say, it takes quite some talent to come up with an idea so bad like this. I don't think I could ever imagine this on my own.

Wait, I forgot something extremly important:

4) The content provider on Twitter, whoever they are, want to be read too.

The big Twitter users, the content provider, the accounts that are followed by many, in other words the most important accounts on Twitter:

All of them are now loosing reach. A LOT.

On one hand, this seems really stupid for him.

On the other hand, seems like a good way to keep me from scrolling mindlessly on Twitter.

Guess it's fine.

I think they have to be real careful. If Twitter shuts down I'm have to move somewhere else to...do nothing? I think they are at risk of breaking the illusion that we need social media. If you take it away, I don't lose anything really. I don't even move onto another platform. I just spend my time better.
