Over and over, Musk has claimed he’s tamed Twitter’s bot problem. Has he looked at Twitter?
: “We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers.” Indeed, especially given that the new Twitter had alienated so many advertisers. The lie came next, when Musk said that paid verification on Twitter was “the only way to defeat the bots & trolls.”It doesn’t pass the sniff test. Does requiring payment for an account make it less likely that someone will use it to run a scheme? It could, if the person fears losing eight bucks when the account gets banned.
Twitter Blue has not actually gotten anywhere near majority adoption, and the bullish theory of its potential deterrence of spam has not been borne out. I’ve noticed an uptick in crypto and get-rich-quick direct messages, but those existed before. A fun new innovation inTwitter experience has been the appearance of porn spam under huge numbers of tweets, something I rarely encountered before.
