I’m all for shitting on Xitter, but this is a pretty bad article. It’s written like somebody put it through Google Translate a few times, and doesn’t cite any sources for any of its claims. Closest I could find was this Business Insider story on a report by Apptopia, which only says that its downloads in various app stores declined 30%, not its overall userbase.
I haven’t had the chance to look up the data myself, but if downloads did decline in a way that’s unprecedented its a strong loss leader. To be really interesting though you’d have to couple it with other metrics.
Edit: There are people implying they work or worked at Twitter. They didn’t.

Yes the article is junk. Yet it feeds my confirmation bias in a pleasing way.
Hey bro, Twitter sucks!
(I hope that helps too)
Un-fact checked, poorly seemingly AI written, citing no sources? So you’re saying it’s perfect for Twitter?
And every other link sharing site unfortunately. Lemmy included.
Hey, some of us take the time to cite our sources!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

You mean I got my pitchfork out for nothing?
Guess I’ll put it away…
Imagine paying 40 billion for it too. The moron is so disconnected, I hope he gets butt cancer.
I was thinking the same thing. I couldn’t figure out if it was AI or translated (or both).
Downloads did plummet after the name change. But likely because non-tech nerds have no idea the name changed.
