  Platforms rarely completely die, as in they shut down, they just become irrelevant. Digg still around despite being long supplanted by Reddit, MySpace still exists after everyone went to Facebook, but nobody cares about them anymore.

  Twitter/X will end up the same, unless some real catastrophic happens financially or legally.

  With all the public talking about it and not understanding that they are giving the popularity, im pretty sure its not going to die soon.

  Its weird, some people seem to be on things just because daddy elon fucks is related to it. Its sickening.

  Social networks rarely “die”. They simply become irrelevant. MySpace still exists.

  I think it’s going to have a slow death.

  Right now it’s going through it’s “Lady gaga phase”, doing more and more ridiculous things. Maybe this is the equivalent of a meat dress.

  Eventually people will grow tired of the drama. Either it is a good product at the end (Lady Gaga is a pretty bloody great singer) or it’ll be dead.
