Right, but I don’t see how simply being on the platform makes one part of the problem.

You’re giving them money and engagement with which to continue. Having your eyes on that content and then returning the next day to see more is explicit approval of that content. And having those ads served to you makes Elon money which he then uses to serve more ads to everyone.

Essentially, visiting X is paying Elon real dollars directly and telling him thank you for the propaganda, may I please have another

Adblocker works on twitter too though, and I don’t really mind Elon profiting from my use of Twitter anyway. People should be compensated for running social media platforms like twitter.
