Every day I mourn a little bit more the timeline where Twitter really does turn into 8chan. Elon could have done it. It would have been stupid and glorious. People keep on clutching pearls, saying you need moderation. You don't need more than what's legal, many websites are doing fine being wild jungles. Arguably, more than fine if you count creativity. Really the only downside is that the advertisers and uninteresting people would fuck off. Neither would have mattered if instead of this pay for blue system they started charging accounts depending on how many followers they have.
