Elon Musk just turned your DMs into an ad for Twitter Blue. But you can change it back. Here's how.

Reminds me so much of tacky dating sites. Pay and be able to message! Ughh

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
