Meh. Everything that's happened has been stupid as hell. There used to be some really interesting & helpful info streams on Twitter, weather alerts and streams of edits. There used to be academic research & people understanding trends of the world via Twitter. But now Twitter is trying to extract as much value as it can, make itself as opaque and unreadable as it can. Absurd API prices, no access for researchers, and you can't read much at all unless you are logged in.

Twitter has done amazing job at incinerating the value it once had as connective matter of society.

Also the algorithm now top-ranks a bunch of paid-for blue-check musk-ites and batshit-crazy-right-winger trash.
