How to delete Instagram Threads account: Here’s a step-by-step guide

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, the platform has gone through a lot of policy changes. Some of these changes were Musk’s own innovations to increase revenue and some were influenced by external factors, for instance, his recent decision to put a ‘view limit’ and block browsing access to users who have not signed in to their accounts. These decisions were taken to fight data scraping by AI startups. 

These policy changes were not systematically planned and were not stable, many of his decisions were rolled back overnight or went through many amendments. This caused a lot of chaos and frustration among Twitter users. 

Taking advantage of this situation, many imitator platforms cropped up and tried to bet against Twitter, but they were not able to break into the scene.
