Twitter has been toast for quite some time now, well before the Elon effect...

I think pretty much every social platform has transitioned into the same "edgelordy-ness" we dealt with on smaller community forums & IRC back in the day...

Nobody talks about it on platforms out of a fear of retribution, but a handful of people are not meant to have this much control over massive groups of people...

It always devolves into a scheme that only serves the top & only profit at the top.

Twitter was a very useful real-time information tool, that slowly degraded into a payola promo haven, just like FaceBook, Instagram, and now even TikTok...

The time for useful tools of that kind has surpassed us, as most people on these platforms lie about their botted & payola boosted audiences & views.

Social media simply got too big, there aren't even categorized topics one can subscribe to anymore without it all being blended into a random timeline of everyone's posts... That's the final trumpet call for it, something totally different will need to come along and take over until it too becomes overran monopolized as an emotional manipulation tool.

A far better way to promote skills & business is to paint your info on the side of your car now... Far more people will see it than your social account, without needing to pay a membership or for to boost each post. shrug
