The decision to kill third party clients has cut my usage dramatically.

Beyond that, the decision to show every single reply from a Twitter Blue subscriber above any reply from a non-subscriber is one of the worst changes I've seen in a social media product. Elon chose to brand subscribing to Twitter Blue as a political act, so now below every tweet there's nothing but people who have agreeing with Elon's politics as a significant part of their identity.

It's not like Twitter replies were all that good before, and yet somehow he's made them significantly worse.

The tricky thing about cutting third party clients is that those users were never counted as a 'mDAU' in their reports anyway. They could have brought other benefits (like 'power users' generating content to attract monetisable users).
