It was complete hysteria a year ago from a highly emotionally charged audience. I think we have given the doomsday folks plenty of time for their predictions around the complete collapse of Twitter / X to manifest and it turns out that it did not happen and the platform is still alive. Obviously the so-called 'exodus' never happened and their top predictions have failed to come true [0]. But it just shows that even most HNers at the time fell for the media exaggerations because it was the click-bait trend. Happened with the so-called collapse of Meta and once again with Twitter / X. The deaths of both Meta and Twitter / X, have been greatly exaggerated. It is time to admit that such predictions like this [1] and this [2] aged extremely poorly 1 year on.
