Lots of bias from the journalist in this piece. Not that you ever get anything unbiased from “journalists” anymore. They want to believe twitter and substack are “floundering” given they’re competitive platforms. But in reality they are likely healthier than this journalists employer. VICE, Buzzfeed News and FiveThirtyEight all died in the last month. Twitter is still Twitter and has positive cashflow and all time high usage if Musk is to be believed. Substack is still growing fast. Clubhouse is definitely floundering though.

There is some bias but that's expected from a highly partisan media outlet like the The Verge (part of the extreme left-leaning Vox media). That said, I think the article is still a good read and mostly factual. Elon Musk has proved to be an unreliable source time and time again. See his claim about Twitter lying about bots for instance, when he tried to squirm his way out of buying Twitter. Also note how he has not said much about bots since the deal closed. Twitter has drawn the ire of regular users, blue checkmark celebrities like Lebron James and Stephen King, and government-funded and/or state-affiliated news outlets like the CBC, BBC, and NPR. Bluesky is being touted as a faithful and superior version of Twitter, following some of the unpopular changes Musk has made like floating all the replies of Twitter Blue subscribers to the top of a post's replies.
