That would be fine if my favorite users leave Twitter when it becomes irrelevant. I don’t mind if Twitter stays up as a containment zone for people stupid enough to pay for a blue check mark.
Comment on Is Twitter/X really going to shut down anytime soon?

Think about it like Craigslist. It will still be around in 5 years but it won’t be culturally relevant like it was. Just like Craigslist is still technically around, but no one talks about it and I don’t know anyone who uses it.
Twitter is too big to fail completely in the near future, just like Craigslist was.

People go where the audience is. The more people leave, the bigger pressure the rest will feel to follow.

Pfft. Craigslist came back into style where I live. There’s even an instagram account dedicated to reposting Missed Connections locally and sometimes I even see those posts getting reposted to tumblr.
