I don't publish anymore in X, so I don't mind it. And by the number of points, I can see it is pretty obvious no one cares anymore. The owner is giving a great lesson on how to destroy a social network, while alienating the remaining users.

Isn't X still growing? Certainly it's a lot more popular than reddit in terms of users https://seo.ai/blog/how-many-users-on-x

The X doomer posters have the same energy as Facebook doomer posters 15 years ago. I remember watching ycombinator videos talk about how, back in the day, entrepreneurs wanted to create facebook clones because "everybody hates facebook", and the X hate has the same energy in my opinion. There are still too many things like investing or journalism where you just need an X if you want to stay relevant.

Are we going to see separate articles on BBC news for each of Cloudflare, Docker, T-Mobile, Verizon, AWS all apparently affected by the same outage? Leading with the CEO's name?

You say this like the Facebook gloom was wrong but I think Meta and the accumulation of other assets were an acknowledgement that fixing Facebook's decline in the important segments wasn't worthwhile.

What is "seo.ai" and how do they determine the numbers they publish? I looked and didn't find any methodology or real data, just a bunch of fluff words.
