Un-fact checked, poorly seemingly AI written, citing no sources? So you’re saying it’s perfect for Twitter?
Comment on Twitter (X) loses over 30% of users in two months!

I’m all for shitting on Xitter, but this is a pretty bad article. It’s written like somebody put it through Google Translate a few times, and doesn’t cite any sources for any of its claims. Closest I could find was this Business Insider story on a report by Apptopia, which only says that its downloads in various app stores declined 30%, not its overall userbase.

And every other link sharing site unfortunately. Lemmy included.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I haven’t had the chance to look up the data myself, but if downloads did decline in a way that’s unprecedented its a strong loss leader.
drdabbles@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Declining downloads simply means a slowing of growth, whereas this is claiming a user decline. That only shows up in traffic logs, transit commits, or CDN account usage data.
Palerider@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Not necessarily.
Every time someone buys a new device they have to reinstall the app. So declining downloads could be indicitive of less users.

Yeah and also, in capitalism, if a company ceases to grow, there’s a good chance it will vaporize soon after. It’s not a causation, but it’s a notable correlation.
drdabbles@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Phone replacement is a high seasonality situation. CDN usage and access logs will absolutely show whether usage has declined or not. Release an iPhone and you see a major spike in new downloads, otherwise it’s probably all pretty much background noise.
My guess is everything involving Twitter has been on a decline, and the things I did know I’m not able to share.

Thank you.

Imagine paying 40 billion for it too. The moron is so disconnected, I hope he gets butt cancer.

You mean I got my pitchfork out for nothing?
Guess I’ll put it away…

I was thinking the same thing. I couldn’t figure out if it was AI or translated (or both).
TenderfootGungi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Downloads did plummet after the name change. But likely because non-tech nerds have no idea the name changed.
Nerrad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes the article is junk. Yet it feeds my confirmation bias in a pleasing way.
Mudface@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hey bro, Twitter sucks!
(I hope that helps too)
