Since last October, I can safely say that Twitter has taken a turn for the worse.

Elon Musk, self-proclaimed Twitter savior, has been making big changes in the last three months, and a lot of people are unhappy with them, myself included. It feels that every ten seconds, there’s outrage over a new feature or lack thereof.

I consider myself about three hours of screen time away from donning the label ‘terminally online,’ so I often notice all the little updates being rolled out—font changes, limited use of API applications, and more—which are, for the most part, deeply unnecessary or unhelpful.

Not to mention that since his takeover, Musk has laid off several of the essential employees who helped the Twitter code run and function the way it’s supposed to. 

The app has failed to play videos, accurately display likes, tweets, and retweets, and sometimes breaks down completely without a moment’s notice.

It’s annoying, to say the least. Using Twitter used to be at least moderately enjoyable, taking into account the hordes of annoying people there are, but I almost dread seeing that bluebird on my screen nowadays.

The user experience is inconvenient, and the rearranging of the app’s features, such as bookmarks, an added ‘For You’ timeline, and a visible view count, makes the entire ordeal an eyesore. Even newer updates being rolled out in slow form, like higher character limits on tweets, drastically alter the look of Twitter. 

Quite frankly, it looks cluttered and gross.

In addition to that, free updates that many were excited for are nowhere to be seen. From bookmark folders to releasing the usernames of suspended accounts, it seems that we’re getting nothing we asked for and nothing useful, either.

This is a public service announcement to Mr. Musk. Do better. Twitter sucks right now, and the load of backlash isn’t getting lessened any time soon.
