Time for another move(?)

I think everyone can collectively agree that Twitter is very quickly becoming awful and unviable.


Unless you're an Elon dickrider who's just attempting to profit off of his billions (seriously, all Elon stans share his ego problem), anyone with a brain can see that Elon Musk is a manchild with a massive ego that is willing to make desicions with massive ramifications assuming it'll hurt no one. Within a week this man has contradicted himself again and again, mostly including his rules about parody accounts, and I can guarantee you that it's not for the good of the platform, but for the good of Elon's growing ego.


He doesn't know how to commit, or quit. He's invested in an unprofitable company that's losing MILLIONS every day and is rapidly scrambling to turn it profitable with shitty memes and acting like none of the criticism gets to him. I'm waiting for the day we see a messy all caps breakdown from the "CEO of Twitter", a position that's quickly become a joke.


Twitter verification, a system designed to highlight real public figures over impersonators, has gone from a feature to a commodity. Paying a subscription for Twitter is maybe the dumbest fucking thing someone could ever do (Unless youre trashing on Elon, then its funny..?)


Spend your money on something worthwhile, like.. becoming a Newgrounds supporter! This website is lovingly maintained and crafted by so many wonderful individuals, and keeping the site ad free and user friendly is not an easy task.


This is just highlighting a little thought thread I had about Twitter recently. The site is quickly becoming something I want to take less and less a part of, and I'm looking for new avenues..


In a completely unrelated note, Hi Newgrounds! How are yall? May start posting more of these mind dumps here and there occasionally. They'll probably not be as downtrodden as this one, just something I had to get off my chest.


TLDR: Fuck Twitter. Fuck Elon.

hello! thank god i jumped the twitter ship ages ago, i don't really grasp exactly what's happening there but with the amount of people actually opting to use newgrounds they probably did some crazy shit. the verification subscription is actually one of the funniest things i've seen
