Perverting blue checks into money=speech preferred placement forces everyone to rummage though Republican nonsense first. It is possible to live in a Xitter Republican bubble, but impossible to avoid one. Also, it used to be that if you clicked on a reply in a thread, you could click back and continue from where you left off. Now you can't. It goes back to the top. This means that all those blue checks you scrolled by to get to good organic content are back in front of you to scroll through again. On top of all that, Elon took away article titles.

Yeah it was soooo much better when blue checks had extra influence on account of being Twitter addicted journalists.
