Summary
Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) is experiencing a sharp decline in users and value.
Post-election backlash, misinformation, and toxic content have accelerated user departures, with alternatives like Bluesky gaining traction.
While X saw a temporary spike in traffic on election day, its U.S. daily active users fell 8.4% in October.
Analysts project X will lose 7 million monthly users in the U.S. by 2025. Additionally, X’s brand value has plummeted from $5.7 billion to $673 million since Musk’s 2022 takeover, with revenue dropping 40% year-over-year.
Most of the furry artists are moving to Bluesky anyways, so it’ll be worth your fapping time to start checking there as well.
But for the artists that haven’t moved? Yeah, go ahead. As long as you also archive it locally to cut down on revisits.
