    Engagement from other premium users* so that Twitter influencers have incentive to sell premium. It does sound like beginning of a pyramid scheme.

    Listen, we have “engagement”, why not call this type of of content “enragement”?

    Elon’s fuckery of ‘The platform formely known as Twitter’ is the gift that keeps giving.

    Here’s my suggestion for a new company motto:

    “X: It’s Twitter but it’s Shitter.”

    Funnily enough that’s exactly what many full time microbloggers have been asking from Xitter for years. I always thought it was a silly idea and if you want to make money from your tweets print and sell them as a book like any other self-important celebrity or become a ghost writer for other people’s Xitty microblogs. If you’re that good, people will pay, surely.

    I’m sure that will go well. Definitely won’t increase the amount of prank bullshit going on.

      I do give a shit, and at this point I want to see that platform taken down for good. Because otherwise it’s a platform for nefarious shit and abuse. And no one needs that. Especially not the gullible.
