> but Twitter/X's user base will almost certainly increase Genuine question but what are you basing that on? I feel like most big social media platforms that have been around for years Twitter/X is probably at or very near it's peak of users (discounting new people getting old enough to be interested). At this point everyone has an idea of what Twitter/X is and if they are interested they've almost certainly tried it because it is a very easy thing for them to try. Reading news about a shitfight over a sign isn't going to make any meaningful number of people go "You know, I've been hearing about this social media platform in the news for literally years now, including constantly during a US presidency (at least if I am in the anglosphere), and this bit of news about a kerfuffle involving a sign on one of their buildings but isn't about the site itself has actually made me really interested to try it, even though all that news about stuff actually happening on the site itself didn't.
