There is little doubt that after taking over Twitter that Elon Musk made mistakes. Linda Yaccarino, who Musk made the CEO of Twitter was probably his biggest mistake. Musk needed someone who would push to restore Twitter to its early days, instead of listening to the hate speech bullcrap from the elite media, the advertisers, Ms. Yaccarino. Although she and Musk pretended to support Twitter as a free speech platform the blue checkmark fiasco made sure that never happened.
“You have to pay for free speech.” “I need to make money on twitter, but you can only make money if you accept your role as my sharecropper and fork over your money.”
Twitter’s echo chamber became worst. The user’s average impression level became worse as it became clear that part of the Musk/Yaccarino agenda was that users could say what they want but that didn’t mean anyone could actually view the tweets. The fake trending topics became worse as most tweets that didn’t fit the agenda became suppressed.
One lie twitter uses when it wants to hurt an account is it makes the false accusation that someone is attempting to manipulate the platform and spam. A different account that I set up for sensitive content got that claim against it even though the account has few follows/followers and I almost never post from it. It had not been hacked.
Although I began posting real sensitive content on my sayata account, that was because most of my non-sensitive content was marked as sensitive such as pictures of cars. Without posting some #nsfw content on twitter I would get no traffic at all.
In the early days twitter would get me traffic. My tweets would get hundred of views. No, I was never John Mayer, but twitter halfway worked for me. Then Jack Dorsey allowed private groups to mine the twitter data and flag and suppress whoever they wanted and my twitter problems began.
After the election Twitter hit Laura Loomer and other MAGA Republicans. who had foolishly paid for the blue check mark, with a slap in the face as they got demonetized and censored. If Musk is trying to build a growing audience for twitter, he sure has done a lot of things to chase users away. (I just looked at Laura Loomer’s twitter account and she does have the blue check mark.)
A Laura Loomer Tweet:
No it won’t. The Trump loyalists are being silenced by the Big Tech billionaire donors and we are watching the eradication of free speech and the targeting of loyalists from inside the White House.
Nobody’s time is coming. We are all just watching the eradication of free speech… https://t.co/1Lo3IUckiH

When the dissident right started talking about how free speech was back on twitter, many of us were looking around and shaking our head. We knew they were being used and at some point they would be back in the same boat as the rest of us, who NEVER, saw free speech return to twitter.
The worst wave of censorship that hit the internet across youtube, twitter, etc. was in 2018 under Donald Trump and as we now know, the government was directing the censorship. Later, the joke that Donald Trump turned the Supreme Court into, upheld the government’s illegal behavior.
