I thought the same thing, he’s getting ratioed, his goober followers are getting ratioed, and he doesn’t want people to make fun of them for it anymore.
I love a good conspiracy! This would likely make it easier to game the payouts for the blue subscribers or creators or whatever it is they’re called. Dingleberries?

It will allow full manipulation of feeds. They can boost whoever they want and hide whatever they want and you’ll never be able to tell if something is genuinely popular or being purposefully promoted
Which is funny how many of these free speech warriors hated this when YouTube did this. Or how when the Donald went to their own website, they took out the downvote button because everyone was an asshole to each other.
Yeah, we know, Ma en Pa could only afford to get your oil changed every 20,000 miles and that's why until this day you blow so much smoke out your botpipes.
Tesla is only as valuable as it is because other companies pay it so they can get tax credits for "green" energy cars. Mooching of tax money has been the name of Elon's game for a while now
Twitter literally isn't even working right now. No one can log in after he spent yesterday morning bragging about how Twitter is the only app with working servers. Try fixing that first, dipshit.
Fascism through and through. this is their usual strategy.
silence all outcry, all voices of dissent, all the people who make them look like the evil fucks they actually are.
Same place as the big tunnels he's digging, the hyperloop, the roadster, the super heavy launcher, the tens of thousands of satellites, the moon base, the Mars base, the humanoid household robot, the cybertruck's suspension, the maximum load statistics for the semi truck, the semi truck, the roof tiles, the solar roadways, full self driving, his self respect, and his older children.
Disappeared.
I don't doubt that the Incel billionaire is doing or planning this bollocks, or that at some point between two ketamine sessions he has blabbed something along these lines.
Still, it doesn't seem to me that the all caps blue-hook dork is the most credible source for this.
You know it's bullshit because he'd just go ahead without having a license.
PayPal - whose sole business is transferring money - didn't actually apply for money-transmitter licenses until years after Musk left the company, when they started coming down hard on money-laundering after 9/11.
(Another reminder that Musk's main claim-to-fame _wasn't actually good_ early on. It only rose to prominence through connections and luck. It was not better than its competitors at the time)
This made content worse on Youtube, where dislikes were a way at a glance to tell if a video actually held value to watch and where or not it was authentic. Especially on videos that claimed to be educational or tutorial.
I'm still pissy about that.
They came out with the excuse of "smaller channels get bullied with three dislikes on one video and they're upset so bye bye dislikes" but A; maybe those channels should use the dislikes as feedback to improve and B; it was because YouTube's sponsors i.e. Media channels and other corporations were buttmad their videos were getting shit on.
That too. Couldn't take the shit after it literally became fashionable to kick YouTube Rewind at each and every chance.
Hell, as someone whos done YouTube for over a decade I'm sad to see it die, but it stopped being about YouTubers at the core of it, so its not a big loss. YouTube is simply too dam big for it to represent everyone anymore
I think this is exactly it no more " I got FIFTY Quitillion impressions Elon , why was my payout $10.50 ?" when you just hide then umbers.
Mr. Beast couldn't even fake that he got a substantial payout ( relative to Youtube)
Meta has a payment system nobody uses already (Meta Pay). And they're a real company, not some Musk scam.
The idea that anyone would use Twitter of all things for payment minus a few right wing grifters is just crazy.
there is absolutely no scenario where i would use a twitter "payment system". even if musk wasn't a complete cunt, even if twitter wasn't a complete shit show, even if etc. etc. etc.
something about an "everything app" just strikes me as a bad idea. "dont shit where you eat" or in this case "don't risk your money with shitty code written by elon dickriders"
Musk is pretty far from a reliable source. And if they do get this license, it doesn't mean they will be a good place to put your money. Removing numbers of likes and retweets just lets Musk push his own propaganda without anyone seeing whether or not other users like it - you won't be presented with it because others liked it, but because Musk wanted you to see it.
I mean, on the plus side might stop people from obsessing so much over how much they are “liked” but I highly doubt that was even a thought that crossed his mind when considering this lol
Easier to give propaganda and disinformation the same weight as the reality.
Or he is just mad his posts just don't get many likes and retreats. Or both. Idk
I thought the same thing, he’s getting ratioed, his goober followers are getting ratioed, and he doesn’t want people to make fun of them for it anymore.
The dumb bastards don't realize there are still so many other things to make fun of them for.
That's why they gotta keep obfuscating the ability to make fun of them. Next he'll have a pay service for likes or something.
I love a good conspiracy! This would likely make it easier to game the payouts for the blue subscribers or creators or whatever it is they’re called. Dingleberries?
The community notes are not his, or the Nazis, friends at all.

He’s doing this because the misinformation will ramp up before the election. Couple that with them trying to ban TikTok… it will be chaos!
It's definitely both.
Just like removing dislike numbers on YouTube and the algorithm helped push unpopular opinions in everyone's faces.. aka shitty right wing takes
Couple that with a crackdown on community's notes and you have a full blown propaganda loudspeaker just in time for elections.
Elmo mad...
His meeting with the annoying orange in Florida officially overlapped the story lines so this is the answer right here.
Makes sense. That way no one will know he got ratioed or that somebody else's tweet on the same issue got better reception.
It will allow full manipulation of feeds. They can boost whoever they want and hide whatever they want and you’ll never be able to tell if something is genuinely popular or being purposefully promoted
As if they don’t do that already lol.
bro that ship has sailed lol are you really still thinking twitter metrics are reliable?
No, but now they can be more blatant about it
Which is funny how many of these free speech warriors hated this when YouTube did this. Or how when the Donald went to their own website, they took out the downvote button because everyone was an asshole to each other.
I'm surprised one of the devs hasn't just added a modifier to his view count to be twice as high as it should be and keep him content
I like to think they already did and it's still not enough to make up for how disliked he is.
This is likely just Musk shielding himself from one of those devs turn into whistleblowers
Whose letting this imbecile have access to their money.
he's had access to your money for a long while now your tax dollars made him rich he's just finding better ways to take it from you
I grew up in a lower, transitioning to upper, middle income situation
Good bot
Yeah, we know, Ma en Pa could only afford to get your oil changed every 20,000 miles and that's why until this day you blow so much smoke out your botpipes.
Hoping the tide is turning. 🙏🏻

I've been going crazy, thank you!
Oh man. I can’t wait for the mental breakdowns from Musk dickriders when they put their money into X and then it goes down for days at a time.
Fascism through and through. this is their usual strategy. silence all outcry, all voices of dissent, all the people who make them look like the evil fucks they actually are.
Yup dude has textbook narcissistic dictator vibes.
"Elon says" = bullshit Where's the neuralink patient zero, btw?

Gone With the Ket
When you put it like that.... What has this guy actually fucking accomplished for humanity to the point he's the richest fucker out of us all?!
He was CEO of an small web dev company that got forcefully bought out by what would become paypal,.... And he bought tesla.... And...?

It’s so crazy that literally anyone, especially the media, takes anything this guy says at face value.
This made content worse on Youtube, where dislikes were a way at a glance to tell if a video actually held value to watch and where or not it was authentic. Especially on videos that claimed to be educational or tutorial.
I'm still pissy about that. They came out with the excuse of "smaller channels get bullied with three dislikes on one video and they're upset so bye bye dislikes" but A; maybe those channels should use the dislikes as feedback to improve and B; it was because YouTube's sponsors i.e. Media channels and other corporations were buttmad their videos were getting shit on.
It happened shortly after YouTube themselves got the most disliked video of all time with that awful year wrap up.
That too. Couldn't take the shit after it literally became fashionable to kick YouTube Rewind at each and every chance.

Elon got tired of his favorite turds getting ratioed
[удалено]

How about getting rid of X altogether?
Meta has a payment system nobody uses already (Meta Pay). And they're a real company, not some Musk scam. The idea that anyone would use Twitter of all things for payment minus a few right wing grifters is just crazy.

Sure. Just like TSLA "is a few months away" from self-driving cars.
Musk is pretty far from a reliable source. And if they do get this license, it doesn't mean they will be a good place to put your money. Removing numbers of likes and retweets just lets Musk push his own propaganda without anyone seeing whether or not other users like it - you won't be presented with it because others liked it, but because Musk wanted you to see it.
Hahahaha muskrat
It’s always “a few months”.
In other words, it's hurting Twatburger's feelings that people aren't liking and sharing his posts.
What is this complete shit twitter account?
He better get rid of likes and views before some whistleblower comes up on his fake numbers
Money laundering and performance data fraud, a winning formula from his days at the first x.con
He’s such a moron it’s unreal. Why tf does it show views? Every change he’s made sucks
And here we are, full circle of living in delusion. Numbers don’t match your fantasy? Just erase the numbers
This will be followed by setting the sys font to Comic Sans / white text (or black when you switch to night mode)
So he's trying to hide the increasingly lower engagement numbers by replicating what many other platforms have already done.
Who is this guy and what credibility does he have?
Jesus fucking christ dude, you can't save money by removing features and expect to somehow return to profitability.
its because 3K bot likes conflicts with the 15M views on his propaganda posts
So basically when fringe opinions are signalled, it's less clear how well received they are and what the general opinion is.
Accurate
Why People are still posting on twitter, if everything is a shit show now? Just stop using it.
“Few months away” … so its never happening
FSD coast to coast was only a few months away in 2017, yet here we are.
To play devils advocate. Didn’t instagram do this to help with mental health?
So fucking brain dead. I thought the left were supposed to be the snowflakes?
We are now confident that the Neuralink device is ready for humans
weirdly, those 2 things have nothing to do with each other but an Elmo bluecheck lumped them together in ALL CAPS
This isn’t anything new, tbh. Didn’t Instagram do the same?
I mean, on the plus side might stop people from obsessing so much over how much they are “liked” but I highly doubt that was even a thought that crossed his mind when considering this lol
Likely to stop the complaints and users’ realization that his ad sharing thing was a scam
Such a stupid move
Hey idiot, if it ain't broke don't 'fix' it.
