> It makes X an increasingly niche website.

I did not use Twitter. I do not use X. I'm even less inclined to become a user after the Musk takeover. I don't even know anyone who is active on X. However, I still constantly get linked to tweets and see screenshots of tweets (or whatever they're called now). And I never see anything from competing platforms.

X may be failing by many metrics, but in terms of popularity it is still the undisputed king of its market. It's by no means "niche".



Yeah screenshots getting around is a funny metric but it's a good one.

I see BlueSky picking up and occasionally Threads. Sometimes you can't tell where it's from due to crop.


I domt see screenshots of tweeta anymore tho. That one defintely stopped in places where I go.
