The editor of a regional paper wrote an opinion piece on why he's officially stopped using Twitter. Buried behind all the personal reasons for quitting was this line, which I think reflects a critical pivot in the death spiral: As institutional users realize there's no traffic/financial benefit to sharing content, they will stop investing in sharing content. Now factor that in with the current twitter shitshow - Elon is actively threatening to sue Media Matters for their below report causing advertisers to drop the platform: https://twitter.com/mmfa/status/1725566933213294860 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1725771191644758037 If there is no reputable benefit to posting content or posting ads, reputable content and ads will stop being posted and the site will burn out from both ends.

happy birthday @JeNewBee
