I feel like Twitter didn’t go bad because of the check mark. It had many issues well before Elon. He was just the hot knife through butter.
yeah, I was unhappy w how my feed would seem to randomly shift between different modes and sometimes I'd see too much of ppl and other times they'd be hidden... Elon drove off some of the ppl I liked to follow and then took out friendly bots n fun tools w API shutdown

Tweet · Jun 28, 2022Elon tweeting only on alt while TPOT gets followed by a swarm of bots… wat mean?Reply · Nov 12, 2022@vaporous_ford lol yeah… everyone had some kind of weird instinctive reaction to Elon buying Twitter… mine was somehow to see it as a creative writing…Reply · Nov 4, 2022@mattparlmer True, tho perhaps not to the bluecheck in question… it does feel like Elon wants Twitter to become just a place to post press releases…Reply · Apr 28, 2023I wanted it to be otherwise but I'm finding myself muting or unfollowing the same ppl as I did on Twitter, apparently not much has changed
