- Tostino 3y agoI mean, they took on massive debt, and advertisers have abandoned ship. People saying it was going to die weren't saying it just because they thought fewer people were using it.
- chipdart 3y ago> Only 20%? I think you're focusing on absolute numbers, while losing perspective of how traffic dropped. Twitter now runs rampant with disinformation bots from nation-states which were previously countered or outright banned. The 20% represents the difference between all the organic traffic that ceased to exist and all the twitter spam full of disinformation introduced after Elon Musk opened its floodgates. I think ad companies are a good canary. See their change attitude towards Twitter following Elon Musk's takeover.

- jrochkind1 3y agoFeelings are subjective, but if 20% drop in usage feels like a massive victory to Musk too, that might explain a lot.
