Have you gone to your twitter page recently? What did you see? A dog or the classical twitter bird?
On well, your Twitter page is changing and may have a dog on it!
A simple explanation explains the new ‘doge’ meme, Elon Musk wants to fill your Twitter feed with content from paid accounts purportedly being watched over by a crypto meme, from the dogecoin.
Elon Musk claimed he wanted to preserve Twitter’s status as a “digital town square” where concepts from all over the internet could thrive when he took over. Remember? But soon you’ll have to pay if you want to be taken seriously in the town center. Sorry.
Musk announced on Twitter that as of April 15 the ‘For You’ feed – the very first screen users see when they open the app, will only suggest content from paid accounts. The change is just one of many ‘wicked’ modifications Musk has been making to Twitter’s primary user interface. Haha.
He has replaced the traditional blue bird logo on the Twitter homepage with the Shiba Inu dog meme known as “doge,” which is connected to the cryptocurrency dogecoin. As a result, for some users, the app appeared to start adding tweets from accounts they didn’t follow to their Following feed. Noticed? Sorry, but you’d have to live with it until he says otherwise.
Honestly, it’s hard to make any real sense of Musk’s constant changes to Twitter, but one general trend, is that if you don’t start paying $8 a month for Twitter’s subscription plan, Twitter Blue, you’ll have a harder time on the app.
It all means that if you’re a tweep, you’ll have less of a chance that your tweets will actually get seen. But if all you do on Twitter is view tweets, then you’ll be seeing a lot more content from paid accounts, which currently make up only 0.2 percent of all users.
