  Well, you're right, it's a cynical take, but people have motives and then make their own excuses to satisfy others and themselves, e.g. some people not liking Obama and creating all sorts of narratives to not admit that "actually, it's just because I'm racist!" (I say some people and not all, some others may be non-racist and have legitimate reasons to not like Obama). > "I am actively rooting for the downfall of twitter," @dril tells me. "I hope to sabotage their efforts to become profitable, no matter how futile, in the hopes that they will eventually close up shop and release us all from this toilet." > "absolutely block on sight," @dril tweeted(opens in a new tab) back in November, when Musk's Twitter Blue first launched. Did he know it would be used for garbage content back then? Or, does the first quote sound like he has some other agenda? I mean, I'm on his side regarding the downfall, but if I read your other comment about this subject, it sounds like these Anti-Paid-Blue people are there because they want to fight for the survival of high quality content on Twitter, which is a bit obsessive, from my point of view.

    Oh, I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're fighting for the survival of anything on Twitter. Definitely a "if we can't have nice things, let's wreck shit" vibe from @dril. But blocking blue checks on sight does look like a low-effort way to keep trolls from invading one's feed.
