Isn't this the captain obvious outcome?

Or were people seriously thinking Threads would completely eat up Twitter's lunch and they could finally announce "the king is dead, long live the king."?

A reasonable chunk of this site has been proclaiming the imminent sudden death of Twitter any day now for any and every reason ever since the layoffs happened.

Well, for me at least twitter is dead since I can no longer visit the site without an account. As someone who used twitter for a decade without an account my twitter usage is now zero since that change.

Yeah same. Though you can still use it without an account if you install the app... But you have to install the app.

I think a lot of it is good old fashioned Elon Musk hate. There’s a similar pattern when it comes to Tesla and SpaceX.

True, though I think there are some things about Musk that really should be looked at more critically*. Yet we focus on character and hype reality instead.
