Twitter has gone way downhill since the Musk takeover. The option they added to subscribe and pay for the blue tick was the start of the slow death, imo. Twitter is now full almost exclusively of trolls and people who like the sounds of their own voices in a huge echo chamber. I very rarely visit X/Twitter anymore, and usually only for work purposes if I do. I definitely won't be giving Elon Musk any of my hard-earned money.

Of course, a lot people are satisfied with Twitter of which I am one them. And takes after the Musk deal. This change has been brought by the introduction of paid services such as getting a blue tick on the app and I see that the kind of feelings I have is what other people have too. I can say that Twitter has become less fun.
