I briefly opened Twitter (uh, X) to check out some updates from a few contacts who are still there.
Most of what I've seen is users complaining about what X has turned into. Occasionally, someone responds with, "Sorry, you haven't got many followers and following, why not switch to a different platform?"
And the typical response is, "Well, you know, I've been here for years, I wouldn't know where to go, I'd have to start all over again... so I'll just stay here."
Boiling frog effect?
