The problem is that there is a clash between what users want to see and what the company's algorithm wants you to see, and it seems like there's strong evidence to conclude that Musk and his platform are trying to push the kinds of things that a lot of people don't want to see.
So yes, you can spend the time and energy to self-curate and find people who have interesting opinions. I could also go to a white supremacist march and find people who have interesting things to say about classic Dr Who episodes or who have the same passion for Dungeons and Dragons as I do, but I'm not going to tolerate all that toxic crazy to find them when I can go literally anywhere else. In the end, you're still stuck in a cesspool trying to filter out the content that Twitter really, really wants you to see. If I have to work at not seeing the stuff I've explicitly chosen to see, I'm going to find anywhere else (or nowhere).
Where's the data? What's the warrant?
Do these arguments not recognize the ability to self-curate the content they see on the platform? It's entirely possible to individually remove and/or add follows. Block people. Mute people. Report violative content. Contribute enough and get into community notes. "Be the change," rather than just "whine about it" is probably the only useful pathway.
I'm squarely in the Capitalism + Elon Musk == good thing camp. Haven't seen a convincing reason to change my mind yet, and I'm the most apt to hate billionaires. Even the "Elon is WEF, he's not your friend" crowd have some compelling ad homininominons I'm too impressed to consider.
Then again, I'm a fuckin' nobody with negative net worth, so economically and capitalistically speaking perhaps I am guilty of idolization. But logically some of the arguments are out of my ability to understand. Emotional arguments don't work nor resonate with me.
