No, I've been on Twitter since the '00s, and have posted over 100k+ tweets. It's not like you go on there and suddenly become a success. It's all dependent on buying ads these days.
A good chunk of my audience has left already, plenty planning to etc. And just because there's a few tens of thousands of followers doesn't meant it gets reach or engagement like it used to. Seen that for most people.
- alexb_ 3y ago>I've posted over 100,000 tweets This is not the flex you think it is. If you've been on for 15 years that's 18 tweets, constantly, every single day. That's an absurd number.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoWho says it's a flex? You're projecting a lot here. The whole point is illustrating that an audience doesn't come out of nowhere and the company is now under new management. History will not repeat itself, the world has changed, what value I perceived in Twitter has now gone because my audience there is in decline post-acquisition. My investment of time is now worthless other than what I took away from the platform in the long-term in terms of biz and friends. Back in the day, we used to use TweetDeck columns like IRC channels in terms of hashtags, and new tweets on x from y would appear in the relevant column. If you don't know what is, imagine a group chat, but people come and go. Of an evening, I could probably rattle off a couple hundred tweets discussing and debating. Keep in mind the original character count, and a simple response could be a dozen tweets.
- bombcar 3y agoIt's well within reasonable limits; assuming most of your karma comes from posts you've posted about 8 times a day on HN. Sounds about right for a social media platform.
