In the coming weeks, Twitter will prioritize replies by: 1. People you follow 2. Verified accounts 3. Unverified accounts Verified accounts are 1000X harder to game by bot & troll armies. There is great wisdom to the old saying: “You get what you pay for.”
@elonmusk I don't believe "people you follow" should be this high up. It will hide contrarian viewpoints and that's not healthy. That just leads to a echo chambers where people stop seeing the other points of view.
@EdKrassen @elonmusk You don’t want to hear other viewpoints lmao what are you talking about ? You want them silenced
@EdKrassen @elonmusk I'm pretty sure that's part of why he bought twitter. This is his echo chamber infinite. Also why he skewed the algorithm to boost his posts.
@EdKrassen @elonmusk I don't know. Seems pretty logical. If you want to see what someone has to say, just follow them. While your plea for openness is understandable, it comes off as authoritarian to suggest people have to see things they may not want to use the site for.
@EdKrassen @elonmusk Paid influencers are about to lose some reach.
