Apparently, Twitter did another whoopsie. Endangering freelancers and other users and other self-publishing circles, this is a reflection of the dust died down on another platform. Self-ddosing.
Yeah, it happened, there may be a have to be another platform after that, question is that how far will they go to push through to the limits of the industrial complex.
Competing for opportunity cost, trying to do a war for attention and drama with stunts like this.
My theory is that these conspiracies are all the more used to keep us hooked, rather than do meaningful work for people who care.
Yeah, this trajectory will be noted for with this working in the industrial complex.
It's worth remembering that these platforms seek to sharecrop, wall garden us off and maximize attention spend; which is monetized to the advertisers paying for it.
Sharecrop as to provide for the social media shareholders and to push a number go up.
Even to this point now, even then, with no centralized social media of attention that is twitter which is to fall apart, there's still time to self-publish on the internet, there is a still possibility. This career is not easy, yet giving it away to a gatekeeper such as the these who seek to be in the slot is certainly not the goal we creatives desire.
All gatekeeping and no curation, E/l/o?n can do what he wants now. Since he's the Bottom winning gatekeeper and his fans and (natural) true fans will defend him because getting picked by him could give attention to their platform, that's it.
Maybe a phoenix will arise with something new.

Best to pursue meaningful, creative collaboration. Then migrate whenever accessible.
Frontiers of attention and predatory monetization are for hustlers, not for those to create something to be remembered. Collaboration for meaningful change. Not of exploitation.
Remember, most people are one man armies and networking labour cannot scale at the point. So best the self-care and push for the times ahead.
