Meh. He's really good at pandering, quick on his feet, and comes across as inauthentic as fuck. Press Secretary potential.
>for me, if I can't block ~~fools~~ perspectives that I don't agree with and consider to be incorrect, I wouldn't want to use it.
I like where he's going with it. The pay status for blue checkmark was genius, and leaving it free use for non-paying accounts that want to live to perpetually troll people while having less engagement is a good idea. Now he's going to make it to where if you want to continue to participate in the conversation, not only do you have to invest a little, you have to be willing to defend your statements. If someone is going to pay 8 bucks a month and wants a ROI to make money off the platform, they aren't going to keep fucking around, and eventually it'll become such a money sink for bot accounts it won't be worth it any longer.
Also, everyone that verifies themselves as a user and contributor can rest easy they aren't consuming anything that's illegal on the platform.They are fixing LOTS of issues.
Writing off prostitution services is legal. Who'd'a thunk it?
They just can't keep up with the man.
Anon doesn't use Turbo Tax, but that's… that's how it should be. Why shouldn't that be a write off?
-Is Alex Jones and actor?
-Has Alex Jones used his acting skills to attribute "crazy" to the ideas he's put out there?
-Does this hurt the truth or help it?
-Is it just another form of control?
LOL.
The fucking salt mine over removing the block feature on "X". Glorious.
Say someone named "A" posted something and someone named "B" disagreed with them and posted a response. "A" could block "B" and then "B" would never be able to see any of "A"'s posts again - stifling speech.
"A" might also block "B" for being a troll, not being interesting enough, or posting porn. But sometimes, and usually it was more often than not, "A" would block "B" because "B" might say something that was too challenging to "A"'s post and "A" doesn't want to deal with it because they have an image to uphold. It limits engagement.
It gets more complicated, though. Let's say "C" posts something, and "D" does a quoted post of what "C" says. If you are "E" and follow "D", you'll see their post and the quoted post. If "C" blocks "D" to keep their quoted posts from showing up, it'll also block you, "E" from seeing it even though you aren't blocked by "C".
The block feature is fucked up, always has been, and stifles discussion.
People generally get along, aren't racist, and live in relative happy peace when they aren't inundated, 24/7, with bullshit propaganda and noise.
But that's really hard for some people to imagine.
