And it's a better than ever experience for the average Twitter user such as myself, so a win-win all around!
- erk__ 4y agoHow has your experience on Twitter gotten better over the last half year? And are you sure that you are "The average Twitter user" since I am not even sure what that really means.
- distrill 4y agopeople who like elon musk feel better using musk's twitter, so their experience is probably objectively better since he took over. people who dislike elon musk feel worse using musk's twitter, so their experience is probably objectively worse since he took over. i really don't think it's much more deep than that.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoPersonally, my experience remains almost entirely unchanged, so I’ve never really understood what the whole “Twitter is dead” stuff was about. I am salty about the Twitter API though
- mrguyorama 4y agoMy use of twitter has been made worse. There's always a popup nag now to "create an account" where I never had one before
- nickthegreek 4y agoand you cant search without having an account or being logged in.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoSo Twitter is now like…everyone else? Instagram, Facebook and even Reddit (on mobile) don’t let you see their content without a login prompt either. Yet there are no 100 articles about Reddit dying.
- ThrowawayTestr 4y agoThat was there way before Elon. If anything the login spam has been reduced.
- 10xDev 4y agoAs someone who uses mostly to keep up with the progress of AI, the recommended tweets are actually good for a change.
- hersko 4y agoCommunity notes is a big part of it.
- downWidOutaFite 4y agoEvery popular political thread on there is now a blue-check right-wing echo chamber. I guess if that's your personal political bubble it feels great, but I don't think that's the "average" user.
- prepend 4y agoIf this stops every political threads then I’m all for it. It’s weird to me how people were so into it and I had a few friends who became tough to talk to because it was always trying to convey some esoteric (to me) twitter screaming match. This doesn’t seem like a loss to me as I feel that kind of stuff isn’t only boring to me but kind of worse to have people so angry about politics. So this seems like a positive development to me if it’s now clearly just a right-wing echo chamber that people can now ignore. I’m not a heavy user and haven’t noticed any changes really, but I never interacted with blue check mark people and always thought it was kind of a lame feature. And is still lame that people can pay for it.
- dandellion 4y agoHow can we tell if that's not the average user and they are in a bubble, or that is the average user and it's us in a bubble?

- downWidOutaFite 4y agoRight, that's the propaganda game, to make normies think that these right wing trolls are the average opinion.
- RoyGBivCap 4y agoRight, that's the propaganda game, to make normies think that these left wing trolls are the average opinion.

- theturtletalks 4y agoPay-to-play is better now?
- GaggiX 4y agoI believe that I represent the average user, and in my opinion, Twitter has become worse than before, especially regarding the comments section. It appears that comments are no longer sorted by relevance, but rather by whether the user has paid for Twitter or not.
