and tiktok is 100X more appealing to them than either of those.

Facebook is for grandparents, twitter is for bots.

On twitter you can find lot of great people to follow; journalists, scientists, experts of any kind. If you are looking for information, you can find it.

The main issue is that all those diamonds are covered by an abundant amount of material of... let's just say lower quality, so the search can be long and tedious.

But most people don’t want that info; most people want to be entertained, every second of the day. And for that tik tok now wins until the next, even shorter attention span thing pops. Twitter started that by artificially limiting input of course, but people still had to read. Tik tok was obvious really. But people will come up with better ways to put less info into entertaining seconds people will want to watch 24/7; it will be a unicorn again in the coming years and TikTok will be for old people.

Twitter is for journalists who now don't have to walk downstairs to get the pointless opinion of the man on the street

I wonder how appealing tiktok will remain after the brains are fried from all the blinking lights :)

personally, I don't understand the appeal of tiktok, guess that makes me too old for the target demographic I guess.

I never liked facebook (fake people bragging about their perfect fake lives for all the world to see).

I used to find value in twitter - but now I just can't wade thru the all noise to get to the value - gave up all major social media years ago, don't miss it.
