2023 will always be regarded as one of Twitter's most eventful years. Numerous modifications came to the microblogging site once Elon Musk assumed control of it. The elimination of the legacy checkmarks was one significant change. HasanAbi, a strong opponent of Musk's conduct, was already opposed to the concept. Elon is currently caught in Piker's sights once more. The streamer recently listed the several ways in which Musk wrecked Twitter.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, made the decision to remove the legacy checkmarks on the platform, which caused debate among users. HasanAbi, a vocal critic of Musk's actions, spoke out against the decision, arguing that the checkmark system was once a sign of credibility on the platform.
Twitter's subscription-based system for blue checkmarks has caused controversy. Some users with controversial content have been granted verified status, which has caused outrage among users such as HasanAbi, who argue that the system has been degraded. Piker has accused Musk of ruining the platform through these changes.
Elon Musk has been criticized by Piker for his comments on Twitter. Musk responded to a post about increasing right-wing content on the platform, saying that the content would eventually balance out. Piker called Musk's Twitter feed annoying and criticized the changes that have led to controversial content being given more prominence.
Examples of Controversial Content
HasanAbi used an example of a Twitter user sharing a racist post to demonstrate how the blue checkmark system has led to controversial content being highlighted on the platform. Piker argued that these changes have made the platform "messed up," and he is likely to continue pointing out such issues, even if Musk does not respond to the criticisms.
