Oh I know. I'm just talking about how Twitter was already losing advertiser revenue, now they're going to get hit harder since advertiser money dries up at the start of a new year.

Twitter is going to be filled with so much nonsense by the end of the year. It's going to look like one of those forums back in the day with a million different user ranks and different symbols and status indicators

Me too. Either my Twitter won't update, or is repeating the same tweets over and over again.
Update: Seems fine now. This happened about a hour ago.
I honestly think they're doing it because it will benefit all the right-wing grifters while also giving them a plausibly-deniable slice of the pie.
Making it easier for grandpa and grandma to throw money at Libs of TikTok while also taking a cut themselves is win-win.
Granted, left-wingers could also benefit with easier payments, I guess, but generally those channels aren't really explicitly set up to hoover in as much money as possible.
Plus, doesn't PayPal have rules about porn or certain other topics? Elon is probably psyched that this'll allow people to fund those while also legally profiting off it himself, because, hey, they're buying "likes" or whatever, and not that content itself.
I can't confirm for myself, and this is admittedly more of a minor thing.
But the Twitter app's apparently reversed the change of showing full frame pictures in the timeline, they're now cropped previews again.

Twitter has brought back one of the key people behind 8Chan and QAnon
Remember. Don't over-think anything Elon is doing. You're thinking about this harder than he is.
He's adding superfluous bullshit like this simply because it will make money for the site and it copies what a popular place did.
If you're thinking of the illicit means for this, you're overthinking it.
This is the dude that made a big deal about showing the (FAKE) view count on tweets, and had a poll to move it to the right and weeks later can't update some simple CSS to fix that.

Eh, I'm not necessarily attributing any thought to Elon. We've seen his texts, we know he has a bunch of creeps with their own agendas like Thiel whispering in his ear.

Now that's true. The dude is so easily swayed by a fucking turd from a cat.
Kind of incredible in the worst possible way that Elon can continue to justify the shit he's doing to Twitter. At least he's actively going broke while doing it.
It was a pretty eye rolling tweet lol
Twitter doing everything it can to promote idiots I dont follow to me. Why the fuck would I want an email about a tweet from a person I dont follow.
Pretty sure that's been a thing before Elon

The coin thing would be a fantastic addition if it weren't under Musk's reign of right-wing self promotion and overall push of bigoted opinions, racism and other bullshit.
Honestly, I think the idea itself is a much, much better way of monetizing than whatever else the fuckhead came up with. Probably why he stole it from Post (I think it was Post at least, I did see this before somewhere.).

I dont recall it sending me people i dont follow before but I could totally be mistaken.
Naw I've had that before. I think the algorithm might be based on showing you tweets from people that are being followed by the people you follow... if that makes sense.
Musk out here bringing in Nazis and plague spreaders while banning….public transit accounts?
On brand for a car hawker.

It's why I feel it's not a fantastic addition anywhere. It monetizes content too far towards producing strong emotional responses at the expense of anything else. Emotion is what leads to change but these coin systems tend to be to the extent of devaluating logic and encouraging the spread and upholding of reactionarism, status quos, etc.
I believe this slippery slope is why Era does not even have a Like Button, and this place is surely in better hands than Musk.

Looking at the video, if the driver was on autopilot, I would guess the person stopped responding to the prompts to handle the wheel. The car comes to a stop in the event of non-response of the driver. It looked like a controlled stop vs a hard stop to me.
I feel like you can easily gauge if it's made with the intent of sucking money out of users and to promote shitty takes, or to really support users: If the amount of coins or money spent towards a post or user shows up anwhere publicly (e.g. in this case via achievements) to brag/encourage, it's the first. If it's just a button to donate and literally does nothing to indicate a post/user has gotten donations from it, it's the second. Elon of course goes all-in on variant 1.
Twitter already has a tipping feature.. is the "coins" thing just making it more at the "here's some money because of this post" level vs. profile level?

Lmao, claiming trans women never date other trans women? 🤣 Of the hundreds of trans women I've known personally since transitioning 8 years ago and the countless others I've encountered online, I'd say at least 75% of them dated or were pursuing dating other trans women.
Yeah, I know, Matt Walsh. But c'mon, "never"? Might as well say Trump admits he's wrong about stuff, for how believable that claim is.
Every time I read about something like this wit ha Tesla, I'm just thinking like...sure, that's all probably in the manual, and I will give credit to the dealership in that they probably explain it all but...
There are so many unique little quirks to these cars that set them apart from basically any other car, and many of these quirks involve fundamental driving functionality. It seems over designed in a way that invites scenarios like this.
I have had my friends and brother-in-law's cars do the phantom braking even when they constantly have responses. To the point where now I insist on driving mostly so I can do full manual.
Phantom breaking is a thing but that doesn't look like a phantom brake to me. Imho of course.
Yesterday I got an actual iOS notification that looked like it was a reply to an old tweet I made, and when I clicked through I realized it was just a suggested tweet from someone I've never heard of and don't follow who quote tweeted a different tweet. They are apparently just doing anything to try and get you to open the app.

I wonder how things will change once Tesla removes the requirement of needing to apply pressure to the steering wheel during autopilot

A controlled stop doesn't cause an accident like that, lmao. At least call it something else.
I watched 2 videos. It wasn't a hard break, but that wasn't a fucking controlled break, because controlled breaks don't result in 8 car pile-ups. It was a sudden far-too-fast break for the conditions the car was in at the moment of breaking.
A car sitting on the side of the road and not moving can cause a 100 car pile up. I don't know what your point is.
I don't know the point you're making with your most recent post, as it's a case of "not even wrong." No duh, an unmoving car can cause a pile-ups if someone crashes into it?
My point is calling something that wasn't a controlled break a controlled break is pretty much faint astroturfing for Tesla not being at fault, so I don't understand why you chose to use the terms you chose.
My stopped car statement was because you implied that the ONLY way an accident could have occured if the car stopped suddenly and my point is that a car can be sitting on the side of the road and cause an accident, humans make errors and crash for wacky reasons.
It was a controlled stop. It didn't abruptly stop, the vehicle did not decelerate at a significant rate, the car didn't lurch like you would expect from a sudden stop. Should it stop in the middle of a highway? No of course not. Why did it stop, I don't know and neither do you. Why you blaming Tesla when it could have been driver error? I'm merely saying what I'm seeing and my personal experience with my Tesla that i do not believe it was a phantom brake.
Well this exchange played out beautifully lmao
I guess it's so that, even if your feed were to show a photo post at the very top, it'd still have room to place a sponsored post / ad.
