The X platform makes another change, #Spoutible .

As of today, you may no longer able to #BlockTheBlue in X. Twitter Blue is renamed X Blue and it's users CAN HIDE THEIR BLUE CHECKS.

Why the change? Musk and Yaccarino believe it will encourage more users to pay for the X app. Oh boy.

The blue check hiding feature comes at the same time that Musk sues CCDH for its June report showing that racist, Anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, xenophobic content by X Blue users isn't removed 99% of the time.

It looks like Musk is desperately trying to hide the truth about himself and X, #Spoutible .

It's also noteworthy that the blue check hiding feature comes 2 days after Musk's "50% off ads" sale and 2 days before major brands lose their gold badges on the X platform.

Business 101 teaches product releases are often attempts to address behind-the-scenes revenue problems.

X is in trouble

As of 8/1, ad blockers no longer work on X so now you are forced to deal with junk being pushed on you on your timeline
