  Millions and millions of people who are still using it as their primary info source.

  Good that you apparently don't know any of them, but the number of people who actually stopped using TwitX or use it less appears to be shockingly small.

    Yeah unfortunately my friends use tiktok as their primary source so I can’t give them to much credit.

        Haha yep. I’ve heard them describe events and I have to stop them and say “do you really think it happened like that?” Then pull up Wikipedia and go through the events filling in the important context that their tiktok conveniently left out.

        But everytime I do this i think they trust tiktok less.
