I like the idea that corporate world wants an unhappy, insecure (reasonably-affluent?) consumer class because happy people aren’t as profitable

I disagree that Twitter is any kind of town/city square. Healthy local public centers are meeting spots, sites of public buildings (e.g. libraries, school, also free), places for local businesses, etc.

Elon Twitter is more like modern airlines: packed to the gills, understaffed, and prone to service crashes
