They’ve had significant outages, managed to block their own API, account fraud and reduced content moderation.
Nobody said the system failures would be overnight, they happen slowly in the form of unmaintained rot that’s already manifested multiple times since the layoffs.
I would also warn against the fallacy that new features imply that old infrastructure is also getting the attention it deserves. Elon has been rolling out tons of new things since he bought it, and redirecting people to what he wants.
