I am willing to take the other side of this bet.

Not because I love twitter but rather because of the following

1.Network effects are just that powerful.

2. This looks like a group chat killer rather than a Twitter killer.

So I think the blue bird will go on to live a rather long life.



The blue bird is going to die soon with Musk at the helm. He only seems to make decisions in the dumbest and most haphazard ways possible.

That's not to say that something else will kill it. It's more likely that for most folks, they'll just stop or shift to something different that's not like Twitter (e.g., Instagram).


Every day Musk brings Twitter closer and closer to 4chan. It's only a matter of time before the whole rotten house collapses.


I must be using a different Twitter than you.

You can cherry pick a few abhorrent Tweets but that’s not going to be representative of most peoples’ experience.


Perhaps you are highly curating your slice of Twitter.

I, on the other hand, go into many different spheres of Twitter.

The wider Twitter universe has gotten much worse since Musk took over.
