I know most of y'all have fully abandoned Twitter, but good lord if he actually does this (which is not guaranteed mind you) a LOT of vulnerable people are going to get hurt.

    I think it's a) because so many people block him and b) to pump metrics with harassment campaign "engagement"

      Another reason is, he's said the block feature "significantly increase server costs", which tbh may actually be true.

        Just wait until he finds out about the server costs for hosting videos

          I have a baby level understanding of databases but I imagine it’s a few additional joins on the majority of queries on the site. The single feature would then cause some slowdown for many different processes. Bandwidth for downloading the content can be scaled more easily than scaling the number of DB hits. Not a sysadmin though, just a measly developer so I’m sure someone else can explain it better.
