This is PRECISELY the reason. He fired a lead engineer who told him they can’t control how many people engage with his tweets. So he made it so that EVERYONE gets to see his tweets in their feed. Queue mass blocking of him and now he’s upset.
Lol oh my god, I think you’re 100% on the ball with that hypothesis. I honestly can’t think of a better explanation, and it absolutely fits with his narcissistic neuroses.
I mean… I’m willing to fight this fight if he wants to play it that way. I’d be more than happy to make a lot more heinous troll accounts to spam him with, and I’m willing to bet that a lot of other people feel the same way.
He wants shitbag, astroturf, conservative, fascist “personalities” to be able to respond to and every prominent non-fascist post where they can be promoted to the top of the replies.
As a bonus, it will also help the astroturfing oil companies better kill environmental efforts.
Maybe he wants to get rid off the somewhat smart people on Twitter so the rest can be easily radicalized with the intend that they vote against their interest and for the interests of rich people?
I’d say it’s either that or he wants greater reach to feed his narcism.
What in the actual fuck does he think is going to happen
I have him blocked. It’s my fault. He noticed and now he is going to axe the whole feature
I could actually seeing that being the reason he’s doing this. Nothing a narcissist hates more than people ignoring them.

I bet a ton of users blocked him that day he messed with the algorithm so much he was boosted into feeds that didn’t even follow him.

Probably gets hourly updates on followers, blockers, views etc.
He’s going to be able to harass everyone that had blocked him.
I bet he will still be able to block users without them knowing too
When you can pay to win, to always have the last word… He’ll let them know.
Next, deleting your account gets axed. Feature makes no sense.
Immediately causing a shit storm from at least the EU, the UK, and California.
That would be a “Getting nuked from orbit by EU” speedrun.
