I think this was true a while back, but the ecosystem on Twitter is basically destroyed.
There was a period between 2010-2020 when Twitter was truly the main convergence of entertainment, media, political and financial commentators. It was the place to be seen.
It doesn't seem to really exist anymore. These different verticals have been scattered all throughout the internet. It is an increasingly small number of people who simply hang around there for the little dopamine hit they get when they see the notification.
Most political and corporate communications strategies have diversified away from Twitter because it is a sinking ship. This started before Elon took the helm, but he has certainly accelerated its demise. Increasingly, it is a reputational risk to even be on the platform anymore.
- enriquec 3y agoBy what concrete metric is it a sinking ship?
- firecall 3y agoAre not all of Twitters published metrics down off their peak? Ad Revenue is down for sure.
- enriquec 3y agoI don't know. Are they? That was partly my question - which has not been answered despite the claims confidently made above. Ad revenue being down doesn't strike me as making it a sinking ship. Is revenue not down off its peak for most companies? The stock certainly has performed far worse before the acquisition - especially relative to others.
