Twitter is dead and Threads is thriving
One year after Elon Musk let that sink in, an elegy for the platform that was — and some notes on the one that is poised to succeed it

Twitter is dead and Threads is thriving
Neither of those statements are true.
Yes, twitter is in decline with a 15% drop is users in the past year but that is far from dead.
I am no fan of twitter or EM but it still has a long way to fall before we can pull the sheet over its head.
And Reports of threads as thriving seems to be wrong in the other direction.
fb is pushing threads content to fb to boost numbers
TLDR: Indications are that both platforms are losing users but twitter has a much longer way to fall.
But Twitter has been massively losing advertisers, and that is what will kill it rather than losing users. Unless Elon goes sunk cost fallacy on us and funds it directly in which case he can keep it alive perpetually.
