It was a rebranding exercise. The same censorship is marketed differently. New algorithms hide everything useful. Freedom of speech not freedom of reach they call it. Like speaking into an empty room. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?
Paying for the check doesn't necessarily increase exposure if the algorithm already has you down-marked. But I haven't wanted to support it/him financially. Maybe it would improve reach and view. Number of Tweets you get shown is reduced or rationed/limited.
I heard someone say that Elon buying Twitter was a psyop. I agree.

I agree too. It is still censored there in what is shown to whom. It broke up community and friends have a hard time seeing each other's Tweets.
Us plebs are censored but the blue checkmark talking heads have all the say they want.
