Twitter is not going away until newsmakers en masse stop using it. I don't care how much print/broadcast news you consume, if you want a finger on the pulse of what everyone is talking about, Twitter still has the widest reach of anything out there. Looking at it from a business perspective, there is no way celebrities/brands are going to compete with you and me for attention on a platform like CoSo. A significant amount of social media users will always want to be an audience for the famous.
@WaevetSmaevets Someone said earlier that CBS have deleted their accounts. No idea if this is true or not.
I saw that same story. We'll see if that is the start of something bigger. My point is that Twitter going away overnight creates a massive void. Either something fills that space or people hold their nose and continue using what they know. I think over time something else will take the place of Twitter for social media consumers. Those who want something beyond what's offered there will look to places like this.
Yep, 💯% TRUTH
It's a bit like the energy crisis - it's highlighted the need for a variety of systems in place to ensure continuation of reliable services, not volatility created by reliance on a single nefarious player.
It's the media's reliance on it that makes it so difficult to shrug off and ignore.
@WaevetSmaevets Yes, I agree with that. All they're doing now, the people who say 'I'm here till it all ends', is propping up his algorithms and totally unecessarily annoying themselves!
