While the Bitcoin scam was the immediate cause of the account lockout, many suspect that the incident is part of a larger narrative about Twitter’s structural issues.

There’s a sense that beyond the chaos, there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the current social media landscape—particularly the dominance of verified influencers who often wield disproportionate influence.
