the irony of positioning X as the 'free speech' platform post-acquisition is that it's accidentally created a system that rewards misinformation - content that can go viral fast enough to outrun community notes gets the most engagement

> whose image is being ruined
X and Elon 

and nope. I personally don’t buy the puppeteer narrative in this case. I think they’re just bad at product and the users that stuck around determine the kind of content that does well on the platform

Whose self image is being ruined exactly? I don't follow that point at all. 

And are you suggesting that he/they/X  accidentally or by way of incompetence or hubris created a global near realtime misinformation monster with a saddle and reigns that they have the power to manipulate in whatever direction they choose? 

Heckuva accident

i think hubris/incompetence is more likely than some kind of mastermind plan to... ruin self-image?

Yeah if this isn’t by design the people in charge are either incompetent or negligent, and we all know who’s in charge
