A bit premature. If you recall on instagram trying to kill tik tok, has not worked. I think your schadenfreude is potentially blurring your vision. I couldnt care less for either of these companies - but the demise of twitter is one of the most popular things to prognosticate about and i think its overhyped.

Except tiktok is actually trying, whereas twitter seems to be run by a person with an actual grudge to kill it as fast as possible.

We keep hearing people say that yet engagement is up and plenty of the people who said they were leaving are complaining about hitting rate limits.
How many years will Twitter have to still exist for some of us to admit he didn't kill it.

It's a 50/50 bet, if they lose no one is likely to bring it up here in future (unlike on Twitter where "receipts" are kept), if they win then they get to crow about their prescience. Pound shop Nostradamus stuff.
