- _djo_ 3y agoTwitter engagement is definitely lower[0], though it’s difficult to know from the outside how much and we can’t trust their numbers. Anecdotally, the accounts I follow in various niche subject areas have both depleted in number, with I’d estimate around 20-25% having stopped posting altogether, and cut back on how often they post if they did stay.

- atomicfiredoll 3y agoMy personal impression of post-purchase Twitter is that the quality has declined significantly as paid accounts crowd the top responses. But, I don't have a good sense of it, since I removed multiple accounts and haven't been back. I'm serious about not participating in or contributing to products and platforms It could be bias, but I don't think I'm alone. Maybe new people will take my place, but this whole thing obviously puts a damper on the word of mouth marketing they were getting out of me.
