It is deliberate. An informed global public is not conducive to Musk's goals. He sees it as a threat.

Stripping the headlines off was a really bad idea. Who can click like based on a photo and the publisher's url?

All true 👍 That's what made Twitter terrible. Though as I understand it, the culture warriorsalso get paid by the amount of replies they get. That way, X can place more ads on the replies feed. That system has led to ever more graphic and controversial tweets looking for click bait answers.

I don't think enough has been made of the fact that Musk owns a means of communication (X) and a method of communication (Starlink) so he has some control over who sees what, and when.

Well when you put it that way… (Jk, I’ve hated his guts since at least the bully boy “let this sink in” stunt & the surely illegal mass firings)

Laid out in a line like this, it's really really giving Hanlon's razor a run for the money.

Twitter was a valuable resource. Elon Musk ruined that.

Seems like he did a lot before the terrorist attacks in Israel. Can’t be a coincidence.

what is it going to take for the major news orgs to jettison twitter? There's no ability to tell fact from fiction there. At all. Any news org talking about tweets now is just interested in selling fucking Ad time for catheters or Junebug phones.

All this is missing is that the monetization of the culture warriors also incentivizes their publishing misinformation and extremist views to juice the engagement numbers.
