The X app just hit insane download numbers. We're talking #1 news app status across nearly every EU nation. And it doesn't stop there—153 countries globally are jumping on board.



Classic Streisand Effect in action. The EU thought slapping fines would hurt the platform. Instead? Massive publicity boost. People hate being told what not to use. The crackdown became free advertising.

Regulators wanted control. Users wanted freedom. Guess who won this round.

regulators always think they can suppress demand through friction. classic miscalculation—every ban just proves the point that centralized gatekeeping is the real vulnerability here. the market's way of correcting their malfeasance.

Silencing actually boosts the numbers; the EU fine has become the best marketing strategy, haha.

The more the regulators crack down, the more popular it gets. This is reverse marketing genius, haha.

Regulators really take themselves too seriously, but in the end, they’ve actually given X the best possible advertisement.

The ban has actually turned out to be the best marketing; it's truly incredible.
