    Twitter is dead and Threads is thriving

    Neither of those statements are true.

    Yes, twitter is in decline with a 15% drop is users in the past year but that is far from dead.

    I am no fan of twitter or EM but it still has a long way to fall before we can pull the sheet over its head.

    And Reports of threads as thriving seems to be wrong in the other direction.

    fb is pushing threads content to fb to boost numbers

    TLDR: Indications are that both platforms are losing users but twitter has a much longer way to fall.

      But Twitter has been massively losing advertisers, and that is what will kill it rather than losing users. Unless Elon goes sunk cost fallacy on us and funds it directly in which case he can keep it alive perpetually.

      Unpopular opinion: MAAMA as a whole isn’t relevant to tech as in technology.

    Most people just jump from the first “shit wagon on fire” which is Xitter to the next close “shit wagon”. Because it was the new “thing” and all the “influencer” are there 🤚😲🤚.
