I just disabled my Twitter account this morning - I've been an active and faithful user for 15 years. I've no faith in the new owner's capability to implement any good change. In fact, I think that team will ultimately make things much worse and then discard it like a very expensive toy.

But what do I know?

Isn't it the job of the media company to ensure integrity? One could argue that every single user deserves a blue check.

Really well researched with arguments I support. Thank you. I guess we have to make other platforms work, or create the platforms. Thanks to Anna for suggesting Spaces. I have a friend formerly of Bloomberg working on his own app design. This is difficult to do though -- he's well connected but facing tons of hurdles. We can still use big platforms to move people to the ones where the true content is I guess. I wouldn't be sad if somehow people start reading longer text again...but I'm not holding my breath :)
