The year 2023 will always be remembered as one of the most dramatic ones for Twitter. After Elon Musk took the helm of the micro-blogging platform, we saw numerous changes coming to the space. One monumental move was the removal of the legacy checkmarks. Undoubtedly, it sparked debates among the netizens. They all had polarized stands on this decision.
HasanAbi, who was a vocal critic of Musk’s actions, was against the idea already. And now, Elon has fallen under Piker’s crosshair yet again. The streamer recently pointed out reasons through which Musk has allegedly ruined Twitter.

Originally, having the blue checkmark was a sign of identity on the micro-blogging platform. It was quite difficult to get as one had to be credible enough to receive it. A main argument that was recently raised by people like Piker against Musk was this very idea. The subscription-based system has now restructured this very robust system. Nowadays, there are some very controversial statements made through accounts by verified banners. That’s why, HasanAbi has criticized Elon Musk for ruining the platform.
Recently Musk was seen reacting to a post that was discussing how more ‘unhinged’ rightist content is popping up. Moreover, the post stated that leftist content also has witnessed a decline. To this, Elon Musk replied that the users would see a 50-50 balance of content. Though we cannot be sure if Musk was trying to be hilarious about the situation, it sure was something of ridicule for Piker.

He directly called out Elon Musk’s Twitter feed while describing it as annoying and dogs***. The recent trends that took effect on the Twitter feed after the subscription-based blue checkmark’s introduction further fueled this outrage. HasanAbi continued with his criticism and took an example from one of the comments to substantiate his claims.
A Twitter user shared a post that pointed towards the aforementioned ‘unhinged’ comment. It was largely oriented toward a racist nature. Piker took this as an example of how messed up the platform has become. Especially, ever since the drastic changes emerged. The blue checkmarks are giving some controversial statements unnecessary limelight. Unsurprisingly, this is something which is bothering HasanAbi.
exactly! blue checkmark reply guys have ruined this fucking platform. always saying the worst shit.

We cannot be sure whether Elon Musk would give heed to such criticisms. He was not much vocal about the remarks that headed his way in the past. Thus, one can expect this trend to follow this time as well. But that won’t stop Piker from pointing out such shenanigans that he finds on the micro-blogging platform.
