That was the original intention until it become the most influentical social media app where all politics take place.
Ultimatums are not going to cut it, I have seen many times people getting cancelled because they worded out badly something important they wanted to say while trying to keep it under 280 characters.
Twitter was being used for things it was never meant for and that become irs main audience, something about the character limit had to be made
And this is no me defending Elon, Twitter's previous staff before his takeover was already considering something like this.

Nah, that's a good thing, but its probably not an Elon idea because previous workers on Twitter already confirmed that solving the problem of character limit was already in the works, Elon just wanted to steal the credit.
The character limit was never a good thing, in fact it used to be worse when posting pictures on tweets would also count as words and the limit was 120 characters I believe.
Seriously, it was never a good thing that one of the most influential means of communication with the literal world leaders on it has a character limit. Twitter user had to make up corny words like oomfie and shit like that in hopes to communicate and almost everyone has to word their tweets in way to use as little words as possible but simultaneously make it so nobody takes their wording the wrong way (this is why the waffle and pancakes meme exist).

I wish people start being more mindful over new tech. There is a difference between using it because its useful or rushing to use it on everything because its the new toy.

Why is the AI art movement so predatory? They take your data without any permision or use legal loopholes to get around.
They tried to do this with music but the music industry threatened them with a lawsuit, they only doing this with artists because they are not as powerful.
