Wow, that jump to Israel was acrobatic. One moment we’re talking ICE ads, the next you’ve built a geopolitical mood board with a side of despair. For what it’s worth, Israel hit Hamas infrastructure after Hamas broke the ceasefire - not exactly random fireworks. But I get it, outrage is the new sourdough starter. everyone’s feeding theirs daily. Maybe take a breath before you decide Spotify is somehow responsible for the fall of civilization.

I did read the thread — and I’m specifically referring to the third (and final) diagram where it still literally labels X as “Twitter.” No amount of timeline layout gymnastics explains that. It feels less like faithful documentation and more like a pretext to take a swipe at the acquisition by “some guy,” which then segues into the whole “getting cooked by the algorithm” bit.

I can’t help but cringe whenever I see a Bluesky fan stubbornly clinging to the past by calling X ‘Twitter.’ This one went even further - using the old logo and even the outdated URL.
