I guess i'll be the only contrarian here and say that Twitter has become the preferred communication platform for some notable political figures (including the current Sitting US President). On that simple premise alone, I can't for good reason work up the nerve to use it anymore.
There was a time when I relied on Twitter to get details about life in a rather medium-sized city. We had tweetups and I even used it for business networking. As it grew bigger, I felt less interested as the value increased on other platforms like Reddit and LinkedIn. Even now, I still find dedicated Subreddits more valuable than Twitter.
To me, Twitter is now a space for low effort comments and input on media. I'm sure it works well for others, and good for you. But I have no time to cultivate relevant trends, and it seems philosophically wrong to suggest a platform should enable or mandate the culling of an audience. Especially since by design, Twitter is supposed to be the cross section of humanity (with its inherent downsides).
