Legitimately what dialogue is this person attempting to start?
In between complaining about Musk and Twitter he states the obvious "tweet about trending topics"
Not sure he was trying to start a dialogue or make some broader commentary, so much as a classic hacker’s report of “here’s what I’ve discovered” with a helping of snark added. I personally enjoyed the quick read.
My main takeaway is that he doesn't like Musk (not surprising) and that he is blocked by a lot of people (strangely, also not too surprising).
The "for you" feed was around before Elon took over. It was previously called "Home"
It helps that the author already had 70k followers to get momentum on a post. The average user wouldn't have gone viral with those same tweets.

> and, once again, I don’t think he’s capable of pushing any meaningful changes to the site, one, because he’s devoid of any imagination or creative thought

A bit heavy on the anti-Musk tirades for my taste.

Won't someone think of the poor defenseless billionaires? :{
TLDR: If you tweet about trending topics & reply to tweets with an account with 70k followers

You might go viral.

And he doesn't like Elon Musk
