Musk chaotically "gifting" blue checks looks *exactly* like the arbitrary system he claimed was in place before.

The only difference?

It's no longer a process, it's Musk's personal power.

Which has always been the point.
Nowhere does Musk explain how long the 'gifted' subscriptions will last.

His message to celebs & notables: "Pay attention to me. I gave this #bluecheck to you. And I can wipe it away."
Most of the world sees something familiar in Musk:

Man takes power saying the system is rotten.

Promise to tear it down & rebuild better.

Instead, break things, reward friends, and consolidate power around himself.

Neonazis dürfen auf Twitter mit Reichweite-Boost den Holocaust leugnen, die Regime in Russland, China oder Saudi-Arabien dürfen ihre Propaganda verbreiten oder zB die Vernichtung von ganzen Völkern fordern. Dazu aufrufen, #TwitterBlue-Nutzer zu blocken, darf offenbar man nicht.
Wenn jemand sagt: Das schadet auch Elon Musk finanziell auf seiner Plattform, deswegen ist es okay (Du musst ja nicht Twitter nutzen blabla): Ok also bist du doch NICHT für absolute Meinungsfreiheit. Erst bei den Profiten der reichsten Menschen der Welt ziehst du eine Grenze?

Kaum jemand will Elons #TwitterBlue. Und das hat Gründe. Analysen zeigen: Die Sache hat einen antidemokratischen Blauen #Haken. Wie Russland, Saudi-Arabien & der Iran, sowie Holocaust-Leugner und Neonazis von #Musk mehr Reichweite bekommen. volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/moer…
Es steht auch im Artikel, aber es wird trotzdem kommen: Nein, du bist natürlich nicht automatisch ein Nazi oder ein schlechter Mensch, wenn du Twitter Blue hast. Wir weisen nur auf deine Gesellschaft hin und wen du damit unterstützt.
Trolle so: "Ihr seid nur knauserig!"

Wir lassen uns nur nicht von Elon Musk dazu erpressen, 1130€/Monat zu zahlen, weil er unsere Reichweite einschränkt 😂

"Meinungsfreiheit" unter Musk: Nur, wenn du dir das leisten kannst. VVP müsste 1130,50€ für Ver...

So now I’m gonna say my two cents about the Twitter blue fiasco. However, just know in advance if you disagree with me detest me for my comments,

I neither have the time, energy, especially the energy nor the desire to argue with anyone about this. So I… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#Twitterblue Over the years was I hoping that I would earn one of those verified blue checks? Of course I was.

We all know it had made a difference and gave those who had it more credibility.

I’ve never been a celebrity, a politician, anyone rich, famous or important but I… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It did However have to do with many other amenities that were supposed to be happening with a Twitter Blue account. See link: blog.twitter.com/en_au/topics/c…

The only problem with it was when Twitter blue came out back then it was only available in Australia and Canada.

Musk is "dismantling everything that made Twitter valuable—making it his mission to drive out expertise, scare away celebrities, bully reporters and—on the flip side—reward the bad actors... who thrive in the opposite environment: An information vacuum." techcrunch.com/2023/03/28/twi…
"If the point is simply pure destruction — building a chaos machine by removing a source of valuable information from our connected world," writes @riptari.... "then (Musk)’s done a remarkable job in very short order." #Twitter #SocialMedia
"When I reached out to Musk... with questions about his failed promises, he didn’t respond. But I did receive an auto-reply poop emoji from the press@twitter.com email... It’s perhaps one of the only pledges he has actually delivered on." @oliverdarcy cnn.com/2023/03/29/med…

Halua nyt ihan noin vain tätä sivuuttaa.
Juu, liityin #TwitterBlue -leiriin. Ei siksi, että saisi tuon sinisen palluran, joka on Muskin aikana muuttunut eräänlaiseksi turhamaisuusstigmaksi. Itseä kiinnosti - ja kiinnostaa - se, mitä Blue varsinaisesti tarjoaa.

1/4
Tehnyt Twitter -tutkimusta, ja ajatuksena on sitä myös jatkaa, kunhan kyky täysipainoiseen tutkimustyöhön ennallaan. Samaa tehnyt pelitutkijana: nähdäkseen jotain, on ensin päästävä sisälle.

Nyt kahtalainen olo. Jos on tottunut tviittaaja, Blue muuttaa dynamiikkaa.

2/4
Ja ainakin toistaiseksi, lähinnä ärsyttävällä tavalla. Itselle tviittailu on debatointia. Ja yksi kantavista ideoista on keskustelun tempo. #Blue pyrkii hidastamaan sitä & parantamaan laatua. Onko se tärkeämpää kuin tunne eri osapuolten läsnäolosta; johon kuuluvat virheet?

So, nun habe ich mich entschlossen, einen Monat Twitter Blue auszuprobieren, weil ich dem Thema #Lufthygiene mehr Reichweite geben will.

Mal sehen, ob das klappt. Ob meine Tweets so mehr Menschen, mehr Politiker*innen, mehr Entscheider erreichen.

Wir brauchen endlich Lösungen.
Kleiner Bericht dazu, was passiert, wenn man #TwitterBlue abonniert:

Als erstes fragt es mich jetzt bei jedem Tweet unten, ob ich ihn abschicken oder zurückziehen will.

Tweets verschicken dauert also etwas länger.

Ich kann das Versenden abbrechen und dann ändern/ergänzen.
Und noch etwas ändert sich. Ich habe nun die Option "Beste Artikel" auszuwählen, in der ich sehe, was die Menschen, denen ich folge, geteilt haben und welche Tweets am besten bei Dritten ankamen.

I have helped me more than you lot have ever helped me.

In @FACTukorg If @nspcc @childrensociety @lambeth_council @MaudsleyNHS had done their fuckin jobs in the first place, like @elonmusk #ElonMusk #ElonMuskTwitter has done for #TwitterBlue
I would be doing for @GREATBritain as a #brownskin seeing as nothing but brown skin people are at the top killing #AllNewHope and #AllLivesMatter . off #ffs.
No hang on #rewind, #sorry, Only My #GodofWar and @elonmusk #ElonMuskTwitter the two things that are invisible and I have NEVER ever met have shown me more #compassion sorry and my dog, that would be the 4 not 2 legged @BTPDogs of course.

My verified Twitter account fine print is throwing shade at me, accusing me of only being verified because my dad was in the same twitter frat. I'm still not paying the $8 chapter dues. The frat president sucks. He's gonna get us put on double secret probation. Image
The #TwitterBlue fraternity is the crappiest frat on campus. Their parents paid to make sure they didn't have to be vetted. They bribed their way in, and there's no way I'm letting any of them into one of our sweet parties. Also they give off a predator vibe, just sayin.
FTR, I got my blue badge nine years ago for notably writing clickbait headlines for good causes and viraling things. Back when that was possible. Back when going to Clickbait U actually meant something. Back when Facebook kneecapped you for adding flare to your social packages.

@elonmusk, some creepy dude compiled a list including myself and other #TwitterBlue customers and has posted it to an external site. I've reported the account for abusive behaviour, but he's blocked me (and presumably everyone else on his hit-list). Is this sort of thing allowed?
@elonmusk @vjeannek, you're beating @Shem_Infinite in the rankings! You're TWO behind @YellowFlashGuy! Bravo, tbh!

Instagramとかだと標準でカテゴリ分けができるのですが、Twitterにはこれまでなかったのです……。Twitter Blueでついにブクマ整理ができるように!個人的にはかなり嬉しい機能。

Ihr merkt es sicher: Einiges in Twitter funktioniert nicht mehr richtig, es ruckelt, Features sind mal da, mal nicht - nur weil Musk das gekauft hat? Ja. Es gibt auch Sorgen, dass Twitter technisch zusammenbricht. Lasst mich kurz erklären. 1/10
heise.de/hintergrund/Tw…
In den Kommentaren - das berüchtigte Heise-Forum ;) - unter dem Artikel zweifeln Einige an, dass so ein System so fragil sein könnte. Und dass das Fehlen einiger gefeuerter Mitarbeiter so schnell sichtbar wäre. Was sie vergessen: Das ist nicht "eine Webseite". 2/10
Twitter ist eine Client-Server-Anwendung - nur mit sehr vielen Clients (um 300 Mio.) und vielen Servern. Ein weltweiter Dienst, bei dem es um Echtzeit geht. Diesen Tweet sollte jetzt im Idealfall auch jemand in Indien sehen können. 3/10

So if I don’t pay for #TwitterBlue no one will see my tweets or replies, despite Twitter saying my tweets got 88 million impressions this month, but a far right racist with 2 followers can pay to be seen. This is apparently democratising online dialogue.

Really @elonmusk?
I’m not talking about verification ticks. I’m talking about the features musk says only Blue subscribers will enjoy, like people actually seeing their tweets. The implication is if someone like @stephenfry didn’t pay, his tweets would be below a troll with 1 follower who had.
It doesn’t make any sense. It isn’t democratising to prioritise which tweets appear prominently according to willingness to pay. It’s the opposite. This is the point. At present, people get followers because people enjoy their tweets, not because they’ve paid for visibility.

Few ideas for #twitter. First and foremost I tried to do something unique than twitter and facebook but got deviated due to various personal reasons. Started in 2014-15. I'm discussing ideas & information which I had doing it. Hope it might be helpful. @Jason @elonmusk Image
Point 1 - Logins.

Separate Logins.

For corporates and individuals there should be different logins. A corporate ac should be provided more benefits and hence it should have separate dashboard. The additional features for corporates shouldn't be there for individuals.
Point 2 - Templates

Templates are nothing but individual showcase of their hobbies or whatever talents they posses with them. These templates are basically made to help the users to showcase their talents in a meaningful way. ould probably use this template to monetize talents.
