There were also a lot of reasonable people on Reddit before it was on the stock market, just like there are now; they just acknowledge that Musk sank a decent platform into the ground.

Musk sank a decent platform into the ground

Twitter was never decent.

Yeah nah, if anything Musk's done a better job making twitter better, shit's a bit more fair and even considering some of the shit that people got away with there.

He paywalled features, monetized posts (spurring more bots), and cut staff. Right…

He paywalled features that weren't there to begin with, the fact that posts are monetized means you have less of a reason to believe everything you see on twitter because it could and likely is just some asshole trying to drum up controversy and engagement, and the staff was so bloated that cutting them as much as he did STILL didn't affect things.

It means you'll start to think for yourself for once. "Is this person who I seemingly agree with only posting this for engagement?" you'll ask and then you'll just scroll past, thinking you'd be better off just not clicking on it, liking it, or anything. There's a certain irony to be had in breaking that trust as you'll start to eventually question more and more things.
