Assuming he's serious and didn't just like drink a bottle of nyquil or something it's a couple things:
1) hate fueled engagement is still engagement, he's betting that statistically he'll generate more hate-reads than account-closures
2) the specific kind of shitheel that he reply-guys to don't like being blocked because it prevents them from directing harassment at users
3) The block-the-blue thing again. Can't sell subscriptions if subscribing makes you less visible.
- JohnFen 3y ago> The block-the-blue thing again. I didn't know this was a thing -- but that alone explains everything, I think.
- Zigurd 3y agoWhen blue checks got sorted to the top of threads, I would block almost all of them. Elon created the problem. Of course his "solution" is even worse. I use Xitter as a write-only medium now.
- matsemann 3y agoHeh, I would hide their comments and ask them to donate $8 to my cause to be visible under my post.
- guax 3y agoYou might be overthinking it. Its likely just that he's not happy people can block him.
