Twitter isn't allowing posts to be viewed if you're not signed in, which is now resulting in Google removing Twitter links from search results. That alone is doing more harm than any other stupid moves by Musk. Him implementing caps on user activity doesn't need any further elaboration.

Reddit is going to have some dead links that might deter a small percentage of potential new users who find them through a Google search. I think we'll get a better picture of how reddit will move forward after they replace mods and reopen large subreddits.

any other stupid moves by Musk.

What are you talking about? This is literally the be thing Musk has ever done in his entire life. The man finally got rid of twitter from my google search result. Fucking bless.

I hate Pinterest with a passion. It's site is such a chaotic mess, it monopolizes Google searches, most of the content is lazy, it's just an all around bad time.

On Google it helps doing my regular search term -site:pinterest.com.

Pinterest was actually what caused me to learn that function

And it's pretty much all stolen content at this point. Stolen content that you need a fucking account to view, and even so it still shows up in searches.
