And btw, how many features have been brought live since Musk's takeover? If I'm not wrong, at least: long tweets, paid subscriptions, community notes, native video (?), grok... Anything else? Seems quite a lot after years of stagnation.

As a medicore programmer, other than AI I would imagine the rest of the list would take 2 weeks to program and implement.

  “Long tweets” could be anything from changing a config variable to rewriting massive tomes of code. Unless you have knowledge of x’s internal code?

  Chronological feed by default with a setting that actually sticks, private favorites, new media gallery, "E2E" messages. (side note: Birdwatch was a way better name than Community Notes)

    Private likes too.

      They renamed favorites to likes. It's the same thing.

Do you consider massive reduction of impression/reacheability and "shadowbans" for organically influential users features? Lots of users are seen reporting those. Tweets and replies not showing or made "unavailable", followers silently deleted or muted without user input, etc.
