Twitter Dying

[zoddy]

I got a Twitter channel that I have built over a few years for TS and now has about 150k
Since Musk took over I have seen nothing but drops in traffic to it, people leaving for other platforms, his new rules, his annoying things like tweetdeck not working anymore etc

I been considering buying the Verify 84 bucks for the year as that is suppose to boost your search presence etc.
I am not a model I just promote sponsors so it is a twitter that juts has affiliate links , pics and mini clips ,

Is anyone actually getting verified that runs a Twitter account and who is not a model, is it worth it? I also have a feeling I will buy the verification and then Twitter team will flag the feed as spam (not because it is spam ) but just cause of the adult content and just take my money haha..

Just curious on peoples thoughts on it

Why not set up a new twitter channel and get a blue tick and see if that helps.

Run one with no tick and one with a tick.

See what the results are like for you.

Thick or tick.

We should also start saying x rather than twitter.

I wonder how long before we mock people for saying they posted a tweet, and we say did you do that after listening to a gramophone after you went to the dancehall.

I verified my non-adult account. Same brand, just SFW media of the content and links to the still adult sites.

If anything gets marked as sensitive (plenty which isn't even nude or that risque), I typically deleted it because I don't want the account force-marked as sensitive, since there isn't any way to get that cleared.

This was the only account that was growing anyway, so hard to say if it's better or worse with Blue.

Also old Tweetdeck is working currently, but who knows for how long.

Fun fact: he wanted to so same with paypal, but he was not owner then, just CEO and share holder so he got kicked due that. But this time there is nobody to kick him out. Imagine saying "x me" instead "paypal me"

Its crazy because of search results, people not being used to a letter, the connection to porn....Musk is highly overrated in the creativity and coolness departments.

[sandman!]

I think he will run it into the ground , time to look into other platforms to use

[just a punk]

I don't understand why people still use Twitter. It's so outdated and weird.

[Black All Through]

It was dying and then was assassinated a year ago!

the mining celebs for big chunks of their profits started all of this. insta didn't move on celebs. insta needs to buy or develop a wallet.

Agreed, about as stupid as paying $40 something billion for it in the first place. I like that he was for free speech and all and made that type of change, but other than that, he really messed up horribly.

when you start doing toxic things within a company. you need to be removed.

so Musk said he bought it for the userbase because it would be billions cheaper and a lot faster than building a user list from scratch. he never cared about tweetering or free speech. Musk wants all those users doing X transactions.

this is all documented in recent interviews. i'd take a billing play over an ad-supported social media toilet any day. 40 billion to make a trillion.

The Free Speech angle was 100% bullshit catering to right-wing nutjobs, of which Musk is one.

His love for "unrestricted free speech" emboldened trolls to flood Twitter with racist posts and Nazi memes as soon as Musk took over. And it's the main reason why advertisers dropped him like a hot potato.

Musk made $176 million when he sold Paypal. his comment about the sale recently is he wishes he had owned it. he was the biggest shareholder but owned only 12%.

he owns X.

I don't know enough about the numbers but it seems 40 odd billion is waay to much. I would imagine it would be cheaper to build from scratch with his influence and knowledge of tech, plus his connections etc...

seems like he wants a turnkey userbase to start using it next month. fast revenue to bail out that piece of dogshit product.

I don't think he's a right wing nut job. I think he's a plain old nut job.

He is obviously brilliant and dumb at the same time.

I realize his free speech angle was to build his brand. All businesses and politicians say whatever they need to to make money. So I'm not saying he is the hero of free speech by any means. I think he does believe it to some degree though and I am still happy he implemented it.

I can be happy with a person's decision and support his position even though I don't trust or like him.

Conversely I can really like someone but not be afraid to criticize them, which seems to be hard for most people these days.

Elon is neutral for me.

[NakedWomenTime]

I've seen quite a marked decrease in the number of impressions and the number of clicks. It's certainly not working as well as it was. I can't see how getting a Blue Tick would make much difference.

All good things must die. Nothing lives forever. Once GFY stops making money, it's only a memory

he wanted to name paypal x, but wasn´t to be, so now he has twitter, this is why the rebranding to x...

https://www.euronews.com/culture/202...xx-does-x-mean

Musk has always been fascinated with the letter X.

This dates back to when he tried to name his second company X.com, which became PayPal. He finally got his way when he launched the Model X, one of electric car company Tesla's earliest models, founded SpaceX (even if the ‘X’ was relegated to a suffix) and launched his artificial-intelligence app xAI.

Most tellingly of all though, he named his youngest child X Æ A-12 - or “X” for short.

So this week’s rebrand couldn’t have come as too much of a shock considering his prior form. He even formally changed Twitter's legal name to X Corp in April, and now, anyone who goes to X.com will get redirected to Twitter.com. Though according to Musk, the primary domain for the service will eventually be X.com.

Don't know how it will go...

But what i do know, is that Musk is a narcist first class.

is that a guess or real news?

you think the staff is volunteer? how about the awards show?

yea i can run a vbulletin install too :D

[Ramirez]

Elon Musk, the front man for the global cult.

[luclonely]

do not under estimate Elon, X.com will be the next universe and Facebook, myspace whatever will be history.
X.com is the future.
where can I buy Twitter/X stock ?

just my guess.
but prove me wrong GFY. we all know how a message board works.
They still make some good money on the banners/sponsors. It's a big company so they may dedicate one or two staff to run GFY together with other duties and tasks.
Glensman sold this to Playboy corporation ? I was not around for a long time.

I think the same too - Twitter is the only social platform i am using and i cannot say that ever since he runs it, that it is anyway better, but i also see x.com being the next thing

Elon wants a super app like Wechat, but he forgets the most important part, in China it is mandatory and not optional. I highly doubt anyone in Europe other than his simps wants their bank and mortgage on X/twitter along with the scams and memes.

If what he wants is a super app bank, users will have to provide a lot of data to comply with anti-money laundering laws. Which goes against freedom of expression, if there is any data leak, many people with anonymous political accounts could be exposed.
