They write so many articles on Twitter it will never die
I think they’ve said that Twitter and musk stories get a lot of traffic.
In my personal case I will not miss it… go fuck yourself twitter rot in hell.
Entertain the Elk on the YouTube does a great series on this format.
Hey everyone! It’s the yearly “Twitter is dead” article.
I love how people are now saying Twitter sucks now. But the problem is Twitter always sucks. Yes even under Jack Dorsey it sucked.
“the year twitter died” is passive, and generally not a preferred way to write this, as there are specific actions by one (EM) or several individuals. The active phrase, “the year twitter was killed”, is more reflective of the actual situation, and thus better communication. FTFY.
But “was killed” is literally a passive construction
And “died” is active too
but this is the news, and as much fun as it might be to point fingers, that could get the office in trouble. Better to just use the passive voice, avoid ruffling any feathers, and maintain neutrality. AP style guide says their headline is fine.
200M users and it’s dead? OK then…
Trustworthiness in the platform is dead. Musk uses it like his personal sandbox. Advertisers are quickly pulling out. I don’t know how they’re possibly financially staying afloat.
Twitter was so engrained in communication that it’s difficult for many users to leave (sports, etc.). So, I agree, it’s not dead yet, but Musk seems to be doing everything he can to poison the well.
I can’t imagine how removing the communications department from a company that specializes in communication seemed like a good idea…

it’s literally called x now
200m active users on a platform that has 1.4 billion accounts? Okay.
Twitter’s userbase went down by 20% while all other big tech platforms had a ~5% increase
