And the fact that sewage is now the content that is prioritised. Blue checkmarks went from being a flawed, but useful signal of interest, to being a symbol for the most garbage content on the internet. And I have to wade through the filth if I want to make it to anything interesting.

Elon's checkmark system is the equivalent to the hot weather that caused the Great Stink [0].

Twitter of late is blue-checked bot replying to trending topic with copy-pasted text, to which bunch of another bots doing the same, creating fabricated and monetized reply trees. A lot has Arabic profile too. It's money laundering in the open, weird that no actions are being taken.
