It's just because people are being TOLD that it's bad now. It's literally no worse than it was 5 years ago. Twitter has always been a cesspool of human "thought".
Agree completely. I think it might be easier for journalists (et al) to tell themselves "Elon made it bad" than it is to admit they had been contributing their efforts to a bad place all this time. Twitter was never very big, and most people avoided it like the plague, but there is a certain class of person who got addicted easily.
