I’m all for shitting on Xitter, but this is a pretty bad article. It’s written like somebody put it through Google Translate a few times, and doesn’t cite any sources for any of its claims. Closest I could find was this Business Insider story on a report by Apptopia, which only says that its downloads in various app stores declined 30%, not its overall userbase.
I haven’t had the chance to look up the data myself, but if downloads did decline in a way that’s unprecedented its a strong loss leader. To be really interesting though you’d have to couple it with other metrics.
Edit: There are people implying they work or worked at Twitter. They didn’t.
Declining downloads simply means a slowing of growth, whereas this is claiming a user decline. That only shows up in traffic logs, transit commits, or CDN account usage data.
Phone replacement is a high seasonality situation. CDN usage and access logs will absolutely show whether usage has declined or not. Release an iPhone and you see a major spike in new downloads, otherwise it’s probably all pretty much background noise.
My guess is everything involving Twitter has been on a decline, and the things I did know I’m not able to share.
Yeah and also, in capitalism, if a company ceases to grow, there’s a good chance it will vaporize soon after. It’s not a causation, but it’s a notable correlation.
Yup! There are people out there with big pockets watching for stats much subtler than this. It doesn’t always mean much taken on its own, but as a whole can paint an interesting picture.
I know there’s meant to be a comma after ‘whole’. But I just pictured someone dumping a whole can of paint on a canvas and yelling “time!” Before walking over and slapping it on an easel at an auction and selling it for millions, while still dripping.
(citation needed) Seriously there are zero sources, numbers and article ends with a typical interaction bait. As a Turkish person who knows the Turkish shiftdelete I was almost happy that they have an English version for global market but not this tabloid like junk.
Xwitter is a Nazi hate cesspool. I deleted my account not long after Musk took over. I would be delighted to see it fail, and Musk brought down a few notches.
I saw that shit all the time before I deleted my account. If you have seen a decline in quality since I deleted my account after Muskrat took over, that place must be absolutely fucked these days.
It’s barely been 6 weeks since the change from Twitter to X was announced… I don’t know for certain but I suspect there to have been at least one update in the last month.
I’m skeptical of this article, but I know my own usage went to almost 0 because of how awful the bots and trolls are now. Blue checks are prioritized in the comment section and they’re usually awful people or maybe paid trolls or bots, and it makes the app unusable and unpleasant. That’s really the thing that killed it for me.
I never used Twitter or X or the company formally known as Twitter or whatever the hell we’re calling it now but how did the prioritization work before? Was it just sorted by most retweets or likes?
Well he only ended up buying Twitter because he was forced to when he tried to back out after signing a contract. If he’s stupid enough to do that he’s stupid enough to ruin the platform through sheer incompetence. That being said, killing Twitter basically helps out him/his financers so I’d suspect at least some of it is on purpose.
I tried to use it to follow people in crypto but even many of those who stayed are now retweeting right wing conspiracy theories and anti science articles. Twitter is a disgusting hole of hate.
Funny when the 1 month old account remarks that to the 9 month old account.
Hate to break it to you bub: the only places where the majority of people do not think cryptocurrencies are a scam, are crypto hangouts, and places where they haven’t heard about cryptos at all.
Is it funny? Because generally for that to be funny, the account age would have to be linked somehow to credibility. I’m sure you are not stating that,because that would be incredibly stupid.
Please “brake it to me” more. Explain how everyone thinks that. Maybe some study? Some survey? Explain it to me and then explain why I hell would I care? You have no idea how dumb you seem right now. Like some flat earth dumbass explaining how wrong everybody else is.
And they keep on trying to inflate the userbase with bot accounts whose bios are weird and mostly contain suspicious links, amd use those same bots to randomly like anyone’s new posts tweets.
