Twitter goes from bad to worse and even Stephen King COMPLAINS about the platform

Stephen King is one of the most well-known writers of our time. In addition to writing successful books such as “Carrie”, “It” and “The Shining”, the writer is an active Twitter user.

In light of this, the author recently made comments through tweets about the social network that have been shared by many users. Stephen King asked the following question:

“My tweets disappear as soon as I tweet them. I mean, other people see them, but to me it’s like they’re dead. Is that normal?”

This post has more than 1,400 retweets and 4,500 comments, which are being directed at the current owner of the social network, Elon Musk.

Stephen King: Twitter is going from bad to worse

Since Elon Musk bought the social network, many people have been complaining about the platform. Initially, Musk fired a large part of the company’s employees, including the CEO.

Recently, there have been outages on the social network due to a new initiative by Musk regarding Twitter. The billionaire is looking to eliminate all accounts that have verification without having paid for it.

However, it is worth remembering that the verification seal worked to combat fake news: if a fake profile pretending to be a famous newspaper or artist published information, it could soon be contested, as it would not have the verification seal.

However, since the change in ownership, any user who pays can get a verification badge – even fake accounts. Therefore, public figures who got the verification badge for free will have to start paying monthly to keep it.

Users who don’t pay for the verification badge are gradually being purged. This purge is causing several outages on Twitter that even affect the author Stephen Kingwhich still has the blue seal on its profile for an indefinite period.

In addition, the writer uses Twitter to recommend series and books, and this is precisely what made Stephen known beyond his books. In this way, the writer became an authority figure by recommending enriching content to his readers on social media.

With Twitter’s decline, we don’t know if Stephen King will continue using the platform for much longer. Let’s wait for new information.
