Absurd statement.

X/twitter is #1. reddit is #4, NYT is #11, Fox is #16, AP is #18, CNN is #21.
That's not a dying platform as much as you clearly wish that were true. The question is why are you so hellbent on convincing people something that is clearly not dying; is dying?
If X is dying, CNN, AP, Fox and NYT are stone cold corpses with reddit having its last gasp.
- paulbjensen 6mo agoMaybe declining might be a better choice of word than dying. Threads apparently overtook X for DAUs last year according to SimilarWeb.
- nomel 6mo agoThreads surpassed X in DAU only for mobile, with a slow decline shown in X (see plot), with "dying" being a misleading word. For web, X has 18x more DAU than threads [1]. Total daily active users (all access methods) is overwhelmingly for X. I can't find the trend for web. Please post the link you found. Disclaimer: I use neither.
