@tomw It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Twitter is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Titter headquarters when @caseynewton confirmed that Twitter userbase has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all social media platforms. Coming on the heels of a recent NPR survey which plainly states that Twitter has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we’ve known all along. Musk’s empire is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by the recent Starship explosion.

You don’t need to be Casey Newton to predict Twitter’s future. The hand writing is on the wall: Twitter faces a bleak future. In fact there won’t be any future at all for Twitter because Twitter is dying. Things are looking very bad for Twitter. As many of us are already aware, Twitter continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

The ethics department is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core team. The sudden and unpleasant departures of 50 of the top 100 Twitter advertisers only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Twitter is dying.

Fact: There are almost no Twitter developers left, and its use, according to NYT, is down to a sadly crippled .005% of social media influencers. A recent attempt at a face-to-face summit in Boulder, Colorado culminated in an out-and-out fistfight between core developers and Elon Musk, reportedly over code commenting formats (tabs vs. spaces). Hotel security guards broke up the melee and banned the participants from the hotel. Two of the developers were bitten, and Musk continues to have his jaw wired shut.

All major surveys show that Twitter has steadily declined in market share. Twitter is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Twitter is to survive at all it will be among crypto scammers. Twitter continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Twitter is dead.
