Elon Musk just turned your DMs into an ad for Twitter Blue. But you can change it back. Here's how.

Because they’re locking a basic, essential functionality behind payment. Soon twitter will be for bootlickers, I mean, verified users only.
It worked for Something Awful.
The more they kick users out, the more biased towards Musk fans the feeds will be. I’d dare to say that a vast majority are American right-wingers. If they’re losing advertising revenue now, imagine when it starts looking exactly like Truth Social or Parler…
I'm not really upset over that. If the major platforms become more polarized, I expect that things will get more decentralized over time, which isn't a bad thing. If conservatives are more able and willing to spend money on online communication, then let them. Everyone has a right to spend their money as they see most fit.
It's all well and good, "let them do their thing", but when my family gets together and it seems like some of them have been living in an entirely different reality than me, it's not something I can just shrug off anymore. It's tearing people apart. I don't know what to do about the polarization, but I do know we can't keep going like this without society snapping at some point.
