Closes twitter for unregistered users. Idiot

If you want to browse tweets, user profiles, and comment threads on the web, then you need to be signed in to a Twitter account.

The most idiotic decisions of all his idiotic decisions. So many viewers just lost. As many people were just reading there and there from browser, not getting account. Now all those people would just return to reading news sites like it was before twitter.

Now as his final nail in the coffin of twitter - he must forbid sites to quote in their news articles anything that is said on twitter so that sites would stop mention twitter as source at all and it would slowly die.

Sometimes I think that its true that his goal was just to destroy Twitter and bury it like MySpace, LiveJournal and Facebook. Its hard to believe he would spend so many billions on that. But maybe he is just stupid and does it by accident.

Eventually he will run it to the ground and then will run off leaving his employees to put pieces together and try to save it.

twitter is badass now, I haven't used it since 2013 because it was a libturd circlejerk. Started using it after Musk bought it and am surprised how much hardcore and badass footage can be found. Shark attacks, war footage, gory car crashes, ect. It reminds me how the wild west internet used to be before it got pussified by the libturds...

[–] emori (3681) 2 years ago

Same things were there before. Nothing changed.

You just didnt knew it because you... were not using it :)

[–] DMT (4483) 2 years ago

yeah I guess it was always cool I just never knew

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

This isn't gonna make people like me sign up. I don't use twitter except when someone posts a link to something, then I'd click on it to read/watch the post.

From now on I'll just not click the links anymore since I can't view them anyway.

The Emperor has no business skills, anymore. This guy once had business acumen, but he lost his mojo. He moved into the “little emperor” mindset where he hermetically sealed himself inside a billionaire’s bubble, breathing his own fart gas and annihilating anyone who disagrees with him.

You might be right, but on the other hand, this might also work out. I've never used twitter so I don't know if his changes are good or bad, but if this backfires, he can backtrack and open up the platform to let what I guess are "lurkers" back in.

[–] Where (1600) 2 years ago

I had been a heavy Twitter user since 2012. It was a great way to get news fast. The changes are bad. The interface became more and more clunky and messy under Musk. All the ways to streamline and curate the feed were being stripped away. Spam was popping up everywhere. I deleted my whole account over a month ago, before the latest crop of errors. The good news is new platforms are stepping up. Twitter can join the ranks of aol, myspace, yahoo, and all the other passe platforms who collapsed under their own hubris.

I love twitter! Great platform.

Twitter killing it now.

Tuckers show getting views in the 100s of millions.

Musk deleting leftwing bots by the millions. The world wide left is a minority. They bring nothing of value to the table. If they weren’t amplified by leftwing media, they’d still be in closet where they belong.

Emori is a bot. Been rambling about Russian Nazis since the start of the war. Still hasn’t provided a single shred of evidence from before the war started.

I on the other hand have provided multiple leftwing sources that discussed Ukrainian Nazis and its algorithm has had no response.

It could easily be put on ignore however Emori is a good source for when you want to know what the flavor of the week Globalist/Democrat media/party spoon fed talking points are.

[–] emori (3681) 2 years ago

Are you that guy that posts same 3 articles over and over again like it will prove he is wright if he will post them 100 times :) LOL.

Fucker Calrson is not getting 100 of millions of views. His fanboy Mask created fake numbers by just putting that video in people feed when they dint ask for it and then counted it as "views" when people were just scrolling their page and ignoring that nazi russian clown. That count if for stupid people who dont understand how things work.

My account has just been limited such a shame it's now a dead site to me.
My red edit is still all going fine though.

[–] maximmm (3412) 2 years ago

If it's a bot, it's a pretty advanced one at that.
I suspect Emori is just another case of a brainwashed human being.

[–] Porsche911 (3814) 2 years ago

Twitter is amazing man! Sign up

[–] papamihel (1616) 2 years ago

It's a measure to prevent data mining. Especially now in the age of AI systems.
Not sure how effective it will be though. We shall see.

[–] Cac1981 (331) 2 years ago

Here's a hint: not effective at all. Elon is full of shit. Just flexing his twitter muscles. He is murdering twitter slowly.

[–] papamihel (1616) 2 years ago

It would be great if he did murder it because it's a culture destroying, brain killing monster of a platform, but I doubt it.
While I seriously doubt the wisdom of him getting involved in social media, the guy is no idiot and tends to know what he is doing.

In any case, these new "AI" systems are changing the game and it will take some time for all of us to adjust to the new reality. Twitter seem to be the first to react. I'm sure we will see more moves by big companies in the coming months.

[–] maximmm (3412) 2 years ago

Agreed -

Still, this is just a measure to prevent free data mining - entities that pay EM will still have access to as much data as they want.

It is surreal how every platform treats user input as its own - now FB, Google, Twitter - all do it. Everything you write belongs to us - isn't surreal?

[–] emori (3681) 2 years ago

No. He is literal idiot. There are geniuses who can do math like computers but then cant go to store to buy food or tie shoelaces.

Musk is one of them. He could manage space stuff. But behaves stupid when tries to do other things like communicating with people and talk about politics. He has Asperger's syndrome. People with Asperger's interpret the environment around them differently to other people. You could see this by his moronic twitter responses to random people. He sits and literally believes every comment that people leave under posts. If anyone would write that Elvis is bustard son of Churchill he would say: "Oh, wow. Really? I didnt know that"

Thats why he has those crazy ideas about Twitter and keeps introducing more and more idiotic rules that destroys it and he loses money.

[–] Gd5150 (11966) 2 years ago

A bot that pushes baseless claims of “Russian Nazis” really has no credibility when it comes to measuring one’s intelligence.

Especially one who possesses Elon Musk’s track record of incredible success.

[–] emori (3681) 2 years ago

"baseless claims of “Russian Nazis” .....

Good God. I know some trumpists live in their own little echo chamber. But dude - were you been living under rock past 2 years? Do you know that in February 2022 russia attacked and invaded neighboring country Ukraine, occupied its territories and killed thousands of civilians while doing so. And then she was bombing rockets into Ukrainian cities every week/days...

You know - how nazies did during WW2. Or do you actually think that it was russia who was invaded and they are the victims? Is this what they tell to brain dead trumpists in your echo chamber?

[–] Gd5150 (11966) 2 years ago

Well considering the hard evidence you provided to support your Democrat party style argument, I’m gonna side with Elon on this one.

[–] Gd5150 (11966) 2 years ago

The fact all the Democrat lemmings are triggered by this as instructed by their masters, tells you Musk is doing the right thing.

Still waiting for EmoriGPT to share an instruction that is cogent.

[–] Cac1981 (331) 2 years ago

Kinda like you hillbillies when you're instructed by the orange man and the lunatic MTG. When will you idiots understand that dems and republicans are exactly the same. Just whining about different things. The right are racists bigots and the left are the whiny woke babies
