Above and beyond being a narcissist who cannot abide anyone shutting off his voice, it’s also about how anger drives up engagement. So:
Blocks -> less anger -> less engagement
No blocks -> more anger -> more engagement
Consider also how people with his personality type generally benefit by destabilizing whatever social situation they find themselves in and use it to their benefit, and how violently opposed he is to being shut down personally, and how well it works for him to ensure that anyone can still post to anyone else’s feed and be seen there even if they are muted by that user.
For him there’s literally zero downside.
Except losing the next wave of users who decide to finally wipe and get off the Xitter.
