Almost two months later, though, view counts have had the opposite effect, emphasizing how little engagement most posts get relative to their audience size. At the same time, Twitter usage in the United States has declined almost 9 percent since Musk’s takeover, according to one recent study.

Twitter sources say the view count feature itself may be contributing to the decline in engagement and, therefore, views. The like and retweet buttons were made smaller to accommodate the display of views, making them harder to easily tap.
fired the UX and accessibility team and this is the result.

No one cares about Elon being unlikeable and no one cares about Twitter employees. No one cares about any of these people.

:yeshrug:
That's what I was thinking. A lot of people's companies have turned to shyt. You either leave or wait it out.

Progressive online nerd types love to pretend to care about the employees involved in their games and their tech, otherwise they support exploitation and greed in every other thing that they consume like food, clothing etc

It's not even about exploitation and greed at this point with Musk. He's a far rightwinger and is in charge of probably most popular social media platform in the world.. He's banned people on the left including black activists and he's pretty much amplifying voices on the far right. All this tell me is that y'all don't follow the conversation on Musk and are just using buzzwords.

But this is just the average person take on this situation which is why I don't have much faith that a guy like Musk will have much of a fallout from this. Too many people who are low information and just go with the flow.

I don't like Musk and never did. I barely use Twitter ever. Articles like this ain't moving the needle for me. People need to stop using Twitter, period. Seeing the amount of people complain about Twitter... While on Twitter... Is ridiculous

I deleted my Twitter account like 2 months ago when I saw what it was with Musk and never looked back.
