    I exclusively use it because content creators I follow are stubborn and won’t leave the platform. I regret every time I’m forced to open it because it’s mostly spam now, but they won’t go elsewhere

        Yeah I get that, but the primary one that I use it for has stated that he doesn’t want to have to learn a new platform and that if his Twitter ever died he’s not going to learn another platform. I would rather have updates on a shitty platform then no updates at all. Of course that’s also under the assumption that everybody left the platform as well because me alone leaving wouldn’t do anything

          I understand your apprehension, sometimes the stubborn folks need to actually feel the pain before they realize they actually will give a little… Hopefully your community can move the person to shift

        They use it because the general public don’t care what Elon/X is doing, They just want to see posts and they can still do that.

          They increasingly can’t view those posts though.

          And I’d argue that the general public actually does care, you can see this reflected in places like all EV sales rising EXCEPT for tesla, Twitter losing half of its advertising revenue (a reflection of elon/Twitter being toxic to their sales goals and the platform rapidly losing eyeballs) and of course basic meme culture. The public care enough to laugh at and reject him.

          So actually a lot of reality in clear opposition of your unsupported opinion there…
