  Definitely this. I regularly see people complaining about ancient bugs as if they were new after the acquisition. Nope, you just are engaged enough to notice them now.

  After the failwhale days, Twitter has been quite stable for me with the only exception being the live-refresh features on tabs of the website that have been open for days (which I don't think many websites would handle well). There has been a serious degradation in the quality since the acquisition: - Sporadically loading tweets - I could go on some tweets and refresh the page multiple times, with tweets fading in and out of existence showing "This tweet is unavailable" - Tweets that quote tweets of accounts you have blocked behave weird in multiple ways. Sometimes it's just showing a "This tweet is unavailable" instead of "This tweet is from an account you have blocked", and a few interacting with them crashed my timeline on mobile, having to restart the app - On a few occurences, every third tweet on the timeline was an ad - 1-2 notifications from crypto spam bots reaching me every day. The same thing previously was filtered out quite reliably (I assume), since then it happened ~once ever 6 months -------- And those are only the things I've seen personally. Yeah, they are no deal-breakers, and mostly sporadic failures, but it very much feels like a service that is degrading by the day.
