Same opinion. I absolutely hate what he did to Twitter and never in my life I will call it "X" - BUT - it looks to me as if the engagement is thriving.
Edit: clarified that the engagement is thriving
- Forgeties79 1y agoThriving? Its valuation has tanked since his purchase and last I read they’re still actively losing users.
- egorfine 1y agoYes I know. But the platform has lots and lots of engagement. Stagnation did not happen. Quite the opposite.
- Forgeties79 1y agoMy understanding is overall engagement is also currently down
- Intermernet 1y agoWhen I finally left Twitter most of the engagement was obviously bots either repeating other tweets or spamming unrelated dross on high activity threads for engagement farming. The number is high, but the quality is negligible.
- egorfine 1y agoThat was my experience as well. But then people came back. The "For you" tab has been much more interesting for me than previously and in my industry I see tons of interesting content. Again, I hate what EM did to Twitter but there's that.
- Forgeties79 1y agoThat may be the case but from what I’m reading overall engagement is down this year. So I’m not really sure what metrics we’re using to say “they’re thriving” when ad dollars are down, engagement is down, user acquisition is down, valuation is down…
- isleyaardvark 1y agoEstimates are that its revenue has decreased by half. Even if Musk decreased operating expenses enough to keep or even increase profits, a 50% drop in revenue is not at all a good sign for the health of business.
- egorfine 1y agoMy bad: I have now edited the comment and clarified that I have meant engagement thriving, not financials.
