Twitter is relying on the 'limited hangout' strategy in order to stop people fleeing to places like Gab.com to have freely open discussions. Twitter were bleeding users from all their constant bannings, so now they use shadow bannings - where your post is visible to you, but no-one else.
Twitter are also clearly trying to datamine users' reactions to try to work out 'where the line' is, in terms of censorship the public will accept. At one point Elon was due to ban blocks but got backlash, then he suggested a paywall but got bitchslapped by The Daily Beagle expose that shows he feeds financial data to Shin Bet connected datamining facial recognition firm.
In-fact, Elon is very much egotistical. Every time The Daily Beagle published a critical expose on Elon Mask's inconsistent behaviour, he'd go apeshit bananas. He blocked the *whole* of Substack at one point, just as The Daily Beagle published the ICU investigation, preventing *any* engagement with it.
As soon as he got raked publicly for it, he relented slightly - permitting the links but tanking them in views and prohibiting embeds.
He is evidently vainglorious, and does not care what users think of the platform, only what people think of him, and even then, only up to a certain extent.
I believe it's more devious & sinister than that. My sense of heavily curated misdirection on the platform affects a huge number of patriots (MAGA) who are being swept along by a sort of tulip-mania belief in a Trump election victory takes them completely off the battlefield, turning what should and would otherwise be a substantial, coordinated, real-world response to the world-ending threat closing in on us (enough to shift the balance, I believe), into a great delusion kept aloft by this mass psychosis, essentially. Few can see the signs, fewer still can interpret them. Lord have mercy.
I have seen some refer to the term 'Kabuki theatre', however that implies a sort of non-interactive event. It is my opinion that the globalists have it set up that if you don't 'engage' with their theatre then they use it to de facto justify their abuse of power.
So for example, lets say you consider the Donald Trump trials theatre, and certainly the media are hamming it up to maximum (which is not what happens with a true persecuted; see the total lack of coverage on Julian Assange or Edward Snowden); if the public fail to "get involved", the globalists see it as a green light that the public are okay with abuses of judicial power and will refer back to their 'precedent setting' prior theatre work as justification for future abuses.
Yes, and ... I believe human psychology, if we look at the power of basic yearnings, is pretty easy to manipulate. It's always been the case, at least in North America. For instance, Netflix in particular makes no sense at all as a business model ... but makes every sense as a tool of programming and distraction. Now add in the rest - professional sports, movies, music, etc. - and people essentially become invalids. 'They' coined the term 'useless waters' (tragically, they're not wrong). But of course Twi/X holds a special place in the modern pantheon of the ersatz dialectic and special care must be taken here to catch but not release. Its clumsy as hell, but seems to be working.
"Netflix in particular makes no sense at all as a business model"
It makes sense to me when you realise 80% are the lowest common denominator who will gobble up anything so long as it has the right labels masquerading as things they used to like, regardless of actual quality ('Star Trek: Picard' comes to mind).
I still see manchilds on YouTube whinging about the latest Star Wars movie/TV stream/whatever being some subpar LGBTQ brainwashing garbage but apparently they don't feel inclined to change their ways (constantly buying what they know to be nonsense garbage) or do anything that benefits humanity. 'CriticalDrinker' and 'DaveCullen' come to mind as prime suspects.
At no point do the people realise this is a fault of their own making - they finance and empower this decrepit predatory (in more ways than one) business model. How quickly would Hollywood collapse if their movies made nothing at theatres?
I would say the evils we have in the world are already primarily the responsibility of a gullible, complicit, docile, amoral public who have no spine, do not stand up for their beliefs, exert no pressure or political will, and subjugate themselves.
From my position, I feel fully empowered (and I use that term meaningfully, not as throwaway dialogue) to achieve a great many things, and I have - everything from helping police catch murderers with no clues to hand to drafting lawsuits to defeat the US vaccine mandates.
For my reality, it isn't I lack power or influence, but I am swamped by the sheer quantity of problems, and I cannot solve them all.
And I think to myself: the public can solve these problems too, if they choose to put in the effort. It isn't easy, it takes many hours, it is slog, and repetitive, but you do get results.
But they don't. These problems exist in such quantities because the public do not seek to fix them.
We're running out of vertical margin, lol. Agree w your pov. The Netflix business model I refer to is the unsustainable cost-to-benefit ratio of footing the NF Licensing/Production bills vis-vis conventional subscription-based ROI. It makes zero sense financially. But it makes perfect sense when seen as part of the 5th Gen warfare arsenal targeting minds and asses (minds on asses, more like), for which money is no barrier whatsoever.
Agree 💯! My personal situation, where I have so much more responsibilities, coincided with the decision to bring in a globalist Managing Director. I realized at that time that Twitter is simply a device to hack users brains and feed people’s egos. Whatever it’s former self, it is not that now and I doubt it ever will be again. Since I don’t really have time for sm anyway, it was a great time to exit.

Ah, what you refer to there are Uniparty tactics (or 'duo-politics'), where they essentially use what they learned from the Robbers Cave experiment (see: https://thedailybeagle.substack.com/p/what-robbers-cave-can-teach-you-about) on how to divide and conquer to gain control.
