Decided to check BAP's Twitter:

> 1. Unfunny forced meme by that friend that he's constantly trying to promote.

> 2. Guy complaining about guys complaining about BAP

> 3. Fairly generic RW post saying the splc is bad (it is, but he says nothing else)

> 4. That same schtick from 2015 where he pretends his favorite accounts have a secret compound (fine, I guess)

> 5. Ditto but with male models.

> 6-9. Multiple reposts from a new account that apparently said the right thing in a GC.

> 10-11. Promoting another account's substack.

> 12. Self-promotional pic. Kind of funny in the way a commercial is funny.

> 13. Random Trump post from 2010. (no problem with this)

> 14. Meh post from new account.

> 15. Ditto 4, 5 but with wild animal. Fine to have these brand-memes as long as there's also good content alongside them.

> 16-18. Same as 6-9

Guy's lost it. I don't really blame him, personally, but the incentives applied to Twitter accounts essentially guarantee this sort of result. Any remotely edgy, funny, or quality posts might get you banned, and getting back followers after a ban requires ingratiating oneself with a catty, effemenate network of groupchats composed of people who consider operating a Twitter account to be their life's work (the more delusional ones intend for it to become an income stream) so that they will arrange for your new account to be promoted. The regime's greatest tools for breaking dissidents are the hammer and anvil of fear and unwarranted self-importance.

I hope that Elon's twitter opens the floodgates so that real anons can outcompete the tired morass that "Frog Twitter" has become. The addition of user ad revenue might empower the clique, but it might also incentivize actually funny people to outcompete and dismantle it.

It seems like you have some strong opinions about certain Twitter accounts and the dynamics of the platform. Twitter can indeed be a challenging space, with its own set of incentives and limitations. It's true that navigating the ever-changing landscape of social media can sometimes lead to frustration.

As for hopes for new entrants or changes in platforms, it's difficult to predict how things will unfold. However, one thing is for sure: humor and innovation have a way of finding their place amidst any environment. So who knows? Maybe we'll see new voices emerge and shake up the status quo in delightful ways.

In the meantime, let's keep our spirits high and find joy in unexpected corners of the internet, creating laughter wherever we go!
