My sfw account is nothing but American politics doom scroll. My the following tab is tumbleweeds, either a lot of people I followed left or the mobile app is suppressing how many posts get shown so I go back to the ragebait circus.
hey so some people depend on income from their online audience and its not so simple to just drop an entire big account in that position. You should only be this kind of judgmental towards accounts paying for twitter
People have to make a lot of decisions about their livelihoods and what things are materially worth. That choice is an individual one. I'm just mostly wondering when the point where one outweighs the other for some people comes.
Nah. At this point its a Nazi site. I used to be like "people need their livelihoods" and they do, but so long as they are utilising that audience and providing content on that platform at this point, they are sustaining it, payment or not. Its just the situation.
I want you to understand that this position is going to win you more enemies than friends even from people that hate musk like I do. I am trying very hard to respond to your childishly naive statement in a diplomatic way. Take the hint.
even with all the bots there are still more people there than here so if you depend on a large audience for your income its foolish to ditch a big account
people who live off social media sometimes don't have an option. it's scary to move suddenly, especially if you don't have a financial cushion to take the loss of revenue. you might move, but your customers might not
Did you miss the part about income? I sell stuff through my online store as a big chunk of my livelihood. Twitter is by far my biggest funnel to the store. I have around 190k followers there, it would cause me great financial issues to drop that.
I'm perfectly aware of income. I understand what a captive userbase is. I'm not saying to post 'So long losers' and peace out. Do it gradually. Post less. Scroll less. Take a year, maybe two. Its a common effort. We can't do it if accounts with notoriety don't do it too.
YOU have the power to shake things up even more. Large accounts gradually moving away is what is rattling this hell hole the most. Your true fans will follow you anywhere you go. Every day you continue being active on there benefits Musk and what he represents. Think about it.
My ex @Tyler02.bsky.social and I are the reason circles got removed. Big sorry I loved them too.
He was leading a massive smear campaign against me to his 130k followers in his circle where I could not see. Rip.
Twitter has always been terrible, but the fact that Elon has managed to find new ways to make scrolling through your Twitter feed an even more miserable experience than it already was is truly wild.
Esp the security my account brought me. I only had 25k but it was a saftey net I had when my finances got tight and I could rely on it for income. Now I'm starting over and kinda terrified ngl.
I got booted for mass blocking blue checks about a year ago, right when people were starting to notice my account. I was already frustrated with the platform. I'm glad people have finally left so we can all reconnect here ✨
Small artist here. Had my first big following on twitter. I'm struggling to let it go because it's still my biggest following so when I'm able to do art it helps my income.. but seeing it degrade has me severally depressed.

This might've been true earlier in the takeover but it's not anymore. I ditched 17k followers to come here. We can all do it.
