MODERATORS
Launching with the immediate intent for profit screams either a scam (Especially with Musk being kind to give up the name, massive red flag).
Smells like deception. Please come to our "New" site with the same name but this one is totally not uncool or handing all your personal info to Musk.
But spend more money? $8 on that piece of shit "X" site. Fucking joke show.
But you can pay $20 for the premium instantaneous social media aggregate algorithm site! You'll get all the top paid for profit sponsored posts first before anyone else! Just imagine retweeting your friends minutes before they see this million dollar donated Pepsi ad that is collaborating with Oreo! Whooooaaaaaa! You'll be the most popular person in your friend group for 15 seconds! But make sure you share first or else you'll be ostracized by everyone because you didn't pay an extra $9.99 for ultra fast retweet privilege!
Yeah
