The decline of Twitter

The decline of Twitter

If I were to make a graph of the amount of time I spent on Twitter, it would have started at the founding of that service, peeked in 2015, gradually declined until 2019 and then plumuted.

As NASDAQ noted, Twitter isn't really profitable.  And how can it be? How can you base your business on something that might suspend your account based on the opinions of its far, far left employees? 

Satire site, Babylon Bee, was recently banned for making a satirical post about public figure, Rachel Levine, the trasngender assistant secretary of health.  Making death threats against conservatives is rarely punished.  President Trump's Twitter account is gone while Kathy Griffin, who famously called for violence against President Trump remains.

How can anyone seriously look at Twitter as a viable platform when the rules are always in motion and enforced so capriciously?  

It's only a matter of time before Twitter is gone.  And I suspect the world will be better for it.

Quoting xode0000,

Politifact is part of the leftist MSM communist propaganda machine and nothing it claims is remotely "factual."



Where does the picture in my head of a buffalo hat wearing madman waving the confederate flag come from? Oh wait... Not everyone not right is leftist or communist. That is the downfall of only having two parties in a country I guess.


Per Frogboy's and Jafo's request, please see my reply at https://forums.joeuser.com/511564/page/1/#3846849

Please note this is not a Politics forum.  The topic is Twitter and its demise.

Please leave the US Conservative/Democrat debate to the correct Forum section.  ;)

Done, as you've requested here.

He made it happen. Some of the biggest Twitter shareholders pretty much held a no confidence vote on the board that forced them to accept Elon Musk's deal. I think now we are watching Musk to see what he is actually going to do. It is hard to have an opinion yet.
