Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”
Twitter addicts will continue to make excuses like they always do. It’s not even worth trying to pry their death grip off this platform. People who still use it know it’s shameful, but they value clout/money/promotions over the wellbeing of marginalized communities.
