I’m skeptical of this article, but I know my own usage went to almost 0 because of how awful the bots and trolls are now. Blue checks are prioritized in the comment section and they’re usually awful people or maybe paid trolls or bots, and it makes the app unusable and unpleasant. That’s really the thing that killed it for me.

A lot of big-fat-jerks on there lately. 🤷‍♂️

I never used Twitter or X or the company formally known as Twitter or whatever the hell we're calling it now but how did the prioritization work before? Was it just sorted by most retweets or likes?
