People said the password sharing restrictions would kill Netflix. It didn't and other companies are following suit. People would say banning porn off Tumblr would kill the site and its still alive and other sites followed suit.

I disagree, I think he thinks this will stop the hemorrhaging of capital from his failing Twitter purchase.

I think Musk LOVES being able to control the platform and inject his white supremacist, right wing tech bro views into the conversation.

Don't worry I'm sure this will slow down the revenue loss from when Twitter gets banned in Europe

It was killing the site, to the point that they allowed porn back on it.

Tumblr was in trouble before the porn ban, but in ~6 years it went from a billion dollar company to being sold for less than $3 million. It's allegedly losing $30 mil a year.

While I agree but Twitter has done nothing but lose value since Musk took over, only a fool would follow his lead if profits were their objective

Tumblr was sold off for 1/1000th of its purchasing price within a year or two of the porn ban. This is like saying Sears made no wrong business decisions because there's still a few stores that remain open to this day.

In other words, Twitter will no longer be free to use.

Also sucks for budding business owners/content creators who will now have to ask people to pay to help spread their work.

"But it only costs $1"

You honestly think Musk is investing in security? This is "no big deal" until the first leak when it turns out nothing was encrypted because that's 'Not necessary'.

It'll be quite a bit more then $1 a year because Twitter's security is awful. It's guaranteed your account is going to get hacked eventually. The 2FA doesn't even work correctly lmao.

The shitty news, if this isn't walked back, is Twitter getting hacked and a lot of people losing their money.

Because I can pretty near guarantee you that Musk fired anyone who told him how shitty security is, and the people left are telling him that Twitter is "unhackable".
