That would make sense, if you had your pants and shirt on backward.

Musk has introduced several high profile changes to corrupt "the authenticity of their rankings" - what on earth are you talking about regarding "authentic information" given the person running the place is a known and repeated liar, whose lied directly about his management decisions regarding the property you've mostly recently started liking?

Seriously, what?

Could you please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Personal attacks and swipes are particularly unwelcome, so please make sure to edit those out of your comments if any do make it in.

Please refrain from directly attacking other HN users - it does not contribute to discussion. The guidelines can be found here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

As for the content of your post, users who have subscribed to Twitter Blue are more likely to be engaged with and invested in the platform, leading to wanting it to succeed. The additional verification markers for businesses also helps.

Superfans are less credible/trustworthy, not more.

Agree to disagree then. If I had the money to subscribe, then I'm monetarily invested in the content and the platform as whole - otherwise I have the market power to withdraw my subscription and make that known to the service.
