Who cares about X? Only shitposter and people who still think that the X followers they have really matter.

Apocryphon 3y ago
During tumultuous times of breaking news, such as wartime, it becomes a place for live updates, rampant disinfo, fierce debate, and blatant propaganda. Everyone hates the platform but it has a ton of engagement and traffic right now.

    That is what a lot of users unironically believe. Hate the platform, but understand its appeal.

Who cares about Twitch? All the public bodies, charities, non-profits, health authorities etc who still use it as a primary real-time communications channel

  Exactly half naked woman in bath tubes that cater to 14 year old boys! If your country uses X as an emergency system then I would question the saneness of that country

    I didn't say emergency. I mean stuff like the NHS, local authorities, charities etc, schools etc. putting out timely information to their followers

X is still the place to go to create an american audience. I always hated Twitter because it's like all social media - and it always worked like crap (poor UX, poor scaling), but all the US techies are there. It's way less popular outside of the US. The decentralised stuff didn't really catch on much from my experience, despite politicised people making an effort to recommend them. The usability is even worse than X

  Yes and posting there US opinions in there broken US systems. You pay 200 dollar for an asthma spray? Oh wait a High Billionaire needs to change the platform so for the first time a shit poster can actually achieve something. Nice! And now the hole world should care!

  Twitter only had 23% of American adults using it before Musk's acquisition in 2021. Assuming these numbers haven't declined much in the past 2 years, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram would be substantially better platforms to create an American audience. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/26/8-facts-about-americans-and-twitter-as-it-rebrands-to-x/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/26/8-facts-a...

>Who cares about X? You care enough to have an emotional reaction to seeing it referenced. So that's one person at least.
