because twitter's real purpose is to manipulate its users and the issue is how this is more obviously the case now than before it used to be more important that users remained engaged, which in twitter meant people got to interact between themselves as number one priority. but now, the main priority is to manipulate opinion more directly, so users interacting among themselves is no longer the first thing you're served. I guess i'm trying to point out how twitter changed into subtly manipulating its users as the main thing; before they would only intervene directly to avoid witch hunts and things like that. but now (with Musk) they're after money to be made by directing popular opinion, but they're noobs at this (FB/instagram are the real masters for now). This makes enough MORE money that advertisers become less relevant; and even user engagement suffers a little. this gets to constitutional levels of danger when they intervene personal communication. But the internet has been doing this a lot nowadays; I have direct experience with reddit (shadow)blocking me from interacting with other users deep within nested comments in controversial threads; they're stiffing human-to-human conversation and pretending they don't do it; but this is just blocking... unleash the bots to really drive people's thoughts towards intended places... lest people do it on their own freewills
