Am actually surprised people expected different outcome. Sure, some security and privacy loving people would have left. Others might have been against new policies or disliked where it was going. But majority are just going to do what majority does… that is to say, stay.
People have been so desensitized to so many things I wouldn’t be surprised if someone invented butt-plugs which vibrate near a restaurant with good reviews and people would be trampling over each other on black friday to buy a six pack for the whole family. Regardless of the fact it tracks your movement and makes you walk like a broom stick is stuck in your rectum. It gives good reviews!!! And then of course Apple would come 3-18 years late to the market and invent anodized aluminum one which has a glowing logo so fans can recognize each other by glowing bottoms and everyone would scream revolution.

Especially journalists. Why are you using a platform that is actively hostile to you?

Exposure. Present day journalism lives and dies by exposure. If you’re not willing to prostitute yourself for exposure, you have no chance
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, but exposure to who, Nazis?

Users are only down 10%. If the only ones left are Nazis that is a lot of Nazis.

The actual news Outlets dont need that. Twitter brings in nearly no readers/watchers to their own sites.
The journalists who are on X are there to promote themselves.

Because the people or companies they report on still use the platform :(

Most journalists are entertainers in disguise. They do not care, as long as there is an audience.

Until every last one is banned and has to move on.
