X 17+

X ain’t a bad name, twitter was a cesspool of losers ain’t no one actually care abt their opinion. They mad cause they scared to look for twitter videos under the new name X Videos like bro just do it. On a real note there is no reason to be as upset as people are over the name change I get it’s kind of goofy and he should've went with Twitter X instead of just X. Simply to still market off of twitter’s old name/domain. Elon has done a good thing with a lot of the parts in twitter such as getting rid of the “M.A.P’s” aka pedofiles or any of the other words that describe the action that is associated with that word. I don’t think he’s taking the app on the wrong was like everyone else is thinking, if he was to take the app in a good direction like I’m thinking such as owning a bunch of different corps and using this as a platform for them all to use instead of it being separated and hard to navigate as well as still using the twitters already present audience it could help get some traction and preform well unlike what others are thinking.

But overall I think what is still dragging this platform down is just the roaches that use the app in the first place.

5/5

Call me dramatic but anyways, I am writing as of July 28th, 2023 at 9:14. I had accepted everything Elon had done to the app, through the outlandish paywall for basic features, for the amount of hate escalated on this app, and the CEO’s (or “previous”) immature behavior on this app (as well as taking in decisions made due to his bias and political views). I didnt care because at this point, what social media isn’t ran by a complete nut. However, what crossed the line, however small: is the change of ADS! Mostly, promoted TWEETS! Before, it would be obvious it was an ad with a large caption at the bottom of the ad (you scroll DOWN and UP and normally don’t look at the side) that says “promoted tweet.” Now, it is in a small grey text on the top right with the word “Ad.” And in any other circumstance I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t making me see a bunch of political and not even making it obvious as promoted tweets. It’s misleading and honestly, just poor interface design.

Why Elon wants to create such a major change to twitter, going as far as rebranding it as “X” is so.. childish. And outlandish. What is his goal besides like, being annoying?

And hey, before you come at me, Elon is all about “free speech” so let’s stay true to his “rules.” Anyways, that’s my thoughts. But I doubt any sort of rating by some middle class American citizen would change the mind of a billionaire.

I am a professional ceramic sculptor and have had 17 Instagram accounts deactivated on false reports, mod bias, and hackings, so to say I cherish the freedom on this platform not found elsewhere is an understatement. However, Twitter has put other restrictions on my account that arose from nowhere, probably due to competitors and their incessant spam of reports in attempts to get my work taken down so that theirs can appear like the original. Three stars because due to their 30 day policy of account deactivation prior to deletion, an account with almost 2K followers was accidentally deleted with me forgetting to re-login while overseas. It also doesn’t make the platform look good to have users who post content that gets hits elsewhere be unable to grow a following like before on their platform. I’ve been back on Twitter with a new account (post ig deactivation of an account) for 3 months, post several times a day each day, and have only around 50 followers due to my account not being searchable and the professional option removed and no way to appeal and reach support. If these issues can be fixed, naturally the app rating could be as well.
