Literally this. Any examples of what exactly has changed?

They let you browse recommended content and user profiles now without getting a fullscreen "please log in" modal covering the web client, which is nice.

Haha. @realGeorgeHotz said he was gonna remove this as one of his first Twitter-intern priorities. Guess he did!

but a huge hit to acquisition AND value add targeted ad impressions (IE expensive impressions). It allows Elon to wave the "hey look at the huge traffic" flag around while self sabotaging the business model further.

Not really. I didn't have a Twitter account before, and I still don't have one. The only thing that's changed is that I find myself using Twitter more...

Moderation seems to have changed by a lot. More gory videos stay up, nsfw pictures stay up, etc. It will slowly go out of control if this is a trend, I would guess.

I'm a heavy reader/average writer on Twitter, and I've never seen anything like that. It could be your followers that retweet/like things like that

I can confirm. Used it daily before and after Elon take over and haven't seen any of those. Usually it's visible why auch content is shown on your timeline

I don't think moderation has changed at all. I'm not in the gore-y scene but I wouldn't be surprised if it has always been on Twitter, just marked as sensitive. Most social media sites have that 'dark reality' content scenes.

Same goes for NSFW stuff, that stuff has been on Twitter long before Musk bought it and it will still be available just marked as sensitive (like it always has). I doubt they will go the Tumblr route and kill a giant part of the userbase.

I’m seeing a lot more nazi-era antisemitic memes

Well, my account has quit bleeding follows and my tweets "feel" as though they have more reach, although that may just be more conservatives returning to the platform.

It's not cool anymore to be in it. In fact it's cool to your aspirational peers to say you dislike it now.
