Alas the zombie entity will persist, people will stay here, but this is absolutely the death of this as a public social space, and the start of a dark new pay-to-play world for Twitter where only the very-few have real capabilities.
This is the death of the spirit of the project. May it hopefully wreck & burn fast.
The pretense of Twitter's usefulness will take too long to flail fade & fail, and it's not so instantly notable to consumers, but this is the most epic & rapid grade #enshittification a once valuable & once core internet service that the planet has ever witnessed. This is a complete fall from grace & capability. Nothing remains, nothing of value is left to the world.
Tim O'Reilly famously said, "create more value than you capture." Twitter is no longer a place that creates value. It is now a Scrooge McDuck potemkin village, profiteering off an image that it no longer deserves. Burn, fucker, burn, burn the fuck down, you vile traitorous, disrespectful pieces of shit that have ruined everything about the idea. Perish. New Twitter stands against humanity.
