For the most part today I didn’t notice a big change in how replies were ordered because, as it turns out, I interact mostly with my friends and network, who have overwhelmingly rejected joining Twitter Blue, and thus don't (yet) see much competition between bluechecks and non-bluechecks. But it’s definitely noticeable when I go into the replies of a general news thread, like yesterday's announcements of Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon being fired. The algorithm is very coarse — after prioritizing the thread author's replies, then it's just a free-for-all of bluechecks. Not in chronological order, or by amount of engagement or size of account. Just seemingly random, which is just not enjoyable. I can't even see my own replies to a big tweet — previously, your own replies to a tweet would show up at the top of all replies.
