You need to have a significant following for this to have any relevance. If you have a significant following, you have a strong incentive not to post the most grotesque things.

You post things outrageous enough, believe me, a significant following will raise up around it.

I think we're all about to witness the tragedy of the commons in real time if Musk buys twitter. Because there are literally thousands of people in college towns alone all across the US who will descend on Twitter and do this. Probably millions outside of college towns who will do the same. it's too bad.

My bet is we'll end up filing this under "This is why we can't have nice things".
