Who the fuck still uses Twitter?
This is like a press release about a random gopher farting in the woods in Prague - this "news" is mildly relevant to a total of 7 people in the entire universe.
An ungodly amount of people do, there's no point in pretending otherwise.
Reality is much less people than previous. Careful of the metrics you're looking at when they originate with elon - he's notorious for creative accounting with the equivalent of counting a Twitter "impression" as anyone who typed a "t" into their search bar.
I agree it's down a large amount but it started at a really high level. Tens of millions to go before we get to ask "Who on earth still uses Twitter?"
"Who on earth" doesn't only speak of quantity, it also speaks of quality.
The amount of decent, quality people with something to say and contribute to the Twitter is down to almost nothing, relative to what it was prior to elon.
You can lose "just" 20% of the cereal in your bowl of lucky charms... Yes, most of the mass is still technically in the bowl, but you can lose all the marshmallows in that equation, meaning you've lost all the color, texture and flavor that made the whole thing interesting in the first place - you're then only left with the mostly flavorless, empty, gray, soggy kibble pieces. You're mistaking a pulse, for a meaningful quality of life.
So, that's modern Twitter, it's the plain gray kibble* disintegrating in warming milk. And for "fun" they've actually added dog shit, rat poison and rusted razor blades to the kibble.
Elon fanboys mostly, I think.
News related agents can't seem to quit either.
