Don't forget they deleted premium and awards completely. They seem to be making the worst possible decisions at every turn. It's absolutely breathtaking.

And that one I REALLY don't understand. They kept saying they wanted to be profitable, but then intentionally cut off a primary source of profit?? Oh to be a fly on the wall for THAT meeting...

but then intentionally cut off a primary source of profit??

It might just show that advertisement was the much bigger source for money.

Well, that would explain premium at least, but weren't many of the awards purely vanity? Or were they worried that people wouldn't buy them because it no longer gives the recipient premium? Either way I' surprised that their first response was removing them entirely instead of raising prices, eliminating only premium to see if people still bought awards, or like, literally anything else

It's like... I keep imagining what if I were a Manchurian Candidate CEO and tried to destroy the entire value of my company as surely as possible before being found out, what decisions would I make? And I must say, what spez and musk are doing keeps surprising me at every turn, because even in my imagination I have not come up with schemes as effective as theirs.

Don't worry they've rolled out a subscription now! You can pay $50 a year to see a bunch of reposts and propagand bots while the admins jerk each other off!
