Twitter has never been a knockoff experience, it was as different from the social media that succeeded before it as TikTok is from YouTube.
Meanwhile any number of near-exact replicas of it exist with a different flavor: freer speech, paid service, decentralized, specifically for particular political affiliations to name a few. None of them have made a dent.
