Well, Twitter is a mobile game now... Is there something to consider it a gacha?

Another Elon has hit the Twitter
I can't see Twitter making it out of this one!
The good thing is that it will reduce my twitter time to less than 30 minutes.
Great! Come to fediverse, no limits here ✌️
So, let's see. My 1920x1080 monitor and my full window browser can render 3 or 4 posts without scrolling, just logging in on Twitter. Because it's a new account, that means I have 296 posts left to read.
I click on one of those 4 initial posts, and without scrolling, I read 3 or 4 replies. I have 292 posts left to read. And even those replies don't bring me anything meaningful, they're just trolls doing troll things. 4 posts wasted.
And so on and so on. Wonderful, Mr. Free Speech Absolutist.
Why would you punish your users for using your fucking site? It’s kinda sad how Elon is ruining Twitter.
The funny thing is I'm pretty sure replies, tweets, and retweets all count toward that (if they're using the same rules as the API), so basically that just kills the majority of your user base.
And people pay for this?
Is there a link to the tweet or did I miss it? I think you should link the tweet because screenshots are so easy to fake and (in other situations) to give credit
