Here we are again acknowledging what a turd Elon is and not deleting our accounts. A missing user base talks but repeatedly acknowledging how bad he is while continuing to use the service does nothing.
Nah don’t delete, hoard the accounts. Especially if you have a coveted username. If X has a lot of users but only a fraction is truly active that would fuck their ad business. Advertisers will quickly realize those numbers are fudged and stop paying the prices X is asking.
That bit largely already happened. Twitter isn’t self-funded, it loses lots of money already. It’s just a tool cumbadger Elon uses to exert influence. Like Bezos and WP, but better value for money.
I deleted my account a while ago, once I realized it would never improve. Musk “stepped down” but still controls X. The Twitter we liked before is never coming back.

Well, now, let’s be thorough here! Repeatedly acknowledging how bad he is doesn’t do nothing!
It’s much worse, it drives engagement! It does precisely the only thing any of these social media companies care about.
True.
“a missing userbase talks” is a dope line, FWIW.
what makes you think we still have accounts? i deleted mine

Afflicting almost everyone. Sad state we’re in.

Who’s this “we” person?
I deleted my then-Twitter account before Musk was even in the running to buy now-Xhitter.
(I’d also deleted my Farcebook account long before that even.)
