I don't take it as face value in terms of believing the site is becoming more popular.

It's pretty standard for sites to track and push for improving KPIs - "increase engagement or whatever" isn't an obscure aim.
It's totally plausible for Musk to deviate from the norm, but everything I've seen so far suggests the direction he deviates from the norm is placing too much weight in certain figures resulting in some short-sighted decisions, as opposed to not valuing them.
> and that he significantly factored in the impact that it would have on LGBTQ people.
I don't claim he was thinking specifically of LGBTQ people.
- Teever 2y agoYou're looking for faces in the clouds. It's definitely possible that there is rational intention behind what Musk is doing, but it's also possible that your mind is just seeing rational intention where there is none. After all his bullshit he does not get the benefit of the doubt about being rational and cogent. If he wants that he has to earn it, and I'm skeptical that he ever can.
