How Elon botched his war on bots

“The thing is, there have always been good reasons to quit Twitter. From the beginning, people found that the platform was too distracting, too depressing, too polarizing, too addictive. It riled them up and brought them down. It shredded their attention and made once-common tasks, such as reading books, feel impossible.

Quitting Twitter is, in fact, the default outcome for anyone who ever created an account.”
