It's undeniable that Twitter is a failing product. Their advertisements are literal basement-tier garbage... I see the type of ads that normally fill your spam inbox. The blue checkmarks seem like they're all Elon sycophants and thus you are forced to interact with a bunch of weirdos as the top replies to any post. It just feels like walking into a Walmart at 1am, vs Threads which feels like Target on a weekday.
Like I said, it will be forgotten in a few days so enjoy the wave because it is coming down.
And mind you, I have zero investment in either of the platforms. I just happen to be able to have a neutral discernment of the situation.
This statement makes absolutely no sense, considering you are using the past tense to refer to a product that hasn’t even been built and released yet.
It’s only my opinion, don’t get worked up about it.
Similar for Bluesky. Everybody queuing to get in, but after weeks on the waiting list and still no sign of life, the moment is gone.
For what it's worth, I will sometimes just check the "threads" link at the top of the page and happen to see a response minutes ago (or less) to my comments. It's possible that happened here.
Twitter is looking more and more like a dead mall with the most insane possible management. Diehard shoppers huddled the last couple active sections.
This is not good the internet. But the further consolidation is on Elon's hands, not metas. If want a healthy internet back it's gonna take bell labs levels of antitrust enforcement, which won't be happening. Twitter will likely be flattened under the weight of their clear technical superiority in the sector.
Nobody is going to give up their real estate on Twitter just because Instagram added a “create a text-based Insta account” button.
Let that sink in…
