You've listed a few anti-user changes here - some of them incorrect (nobody is forced to pay for anything) - and then asked how the anti-user changes are pro-user. Certainly not the most logical of questions. There are of course many other changes. A better question would be, despite the claims you're making (those of which are valid), has the user experience gotten better or worse? Aside from the third-party apps and temporary rate-limits, you haven't mentioned anything else. So add those negatives to the changes that are pro-user positives and I think you have your answer.

By the way - what is a pro-Musk activist? Someone who corrects false statements on the internet?
