I have him blocked. It’s my fault. He noticed and now he is going to axe the whole feature

I bet a ton of users blocked him that day he messed with the algorithm so much he was boosted into feeds that didn’t even follow him.

I could actually seeing that being the reason he’s doing this. Nothing a narcissist hates more than people ignoring them.

I mean… I’m willing to fight this fight if he wants to play it that way. I’d be more than happy to make a lot more heinous troll accounts to spam him with, and I’m willing to bet that a lot of other people feel the same way.

This is PRECISELY the reason. He fired a lead engineer who told him they can’t control how many people engage with his tweets. So he made it so that EVERYONE gets to see his tweets in their feed. Queue mass blocking of him and now he’s upset.

Lol oh my god, I think you’re 100% on the ball with that hypothesis. I honestly can’t think of a better explanation, and it absolutely fits with his narcissistic neuroses.
