What would now be your biggest challenge on Twitter/X?

Twitter is no longer the Twitter we used to know. For starters, it's now called X. And it's seen quite a drop users, either jumping ship to Threads, or plainly leaving the platform.

If you're still on X, what's your biggest challenge with building an audience?

    I haven't been able to sign into Twitter for years. Now that's it's called X I may never use it again. However may be doable as a marketing platform.

    Those sites (quite a few of them) who only quote Similarweb, are estimating X is down 18%....but other sites say it is 4%.


    How many are real people - and how many are bots? No one knows.


    My personal pet peeve for 2023 is that you cannot read ANYTHING about X without someone saying "X - that USED to be called Twitter"...yeah, we know. My faves are those online saying 'how do I go back to Twitter?'. Losing people like that shouldn't count.

      Not only does everybody refer to it as formerly being Twitter,
      people refer to the messages as tweets.

      It reminds me of when The Artist Formerly Known as Prince
      changed his name to the Love Symbol and that went on for
      20 years.

      Changing the company name to X doesn't make sense to
      anyone besides Elon Musk.

    But - it doesn't HAVE to make sense to anyone except Elon Musk.


    And it sort of DOES make sense as X is a letter he uses frequently...in his son's name, and in SpaceX etc.


    I've always referred to Twitter devotees as 'twits' so...I think Elon Musk knows exactly how to trigger people and get attention.

    Right now is too fickle, people keep migrating to other socials or not engage that much with what they find, is not a safe option to have consistency

    Now it's noisier than ever since X start paying people. But I guess it's a good sign to be more authentic

  • X is a bit difficult to operate especially for new Twitter users, it doesn't give as much satisfactory user experience as the previous Twitter version. Just my personal observation and loading of videos can be a bit tricky

    I agree the whole "it used to be Twitter thing" is annoying. I think they should just dump the old image completely, if that's what they want to do. Myself, I think it was foolish to move to X because it just doesn't come across as a good major social media name, but that's not saying it wouldn't be super valuable for something else.

    Be cautious while using Twitter now because, under new ownership, it has shifted from a lighter mode to a strict one like an X. It doesn't tolerate any mistakes and or let you do marketing experiments even to test and trial... it just shuts your account down without considering your previous good track history and account age.

    I still think Twitter is a viable platform. It all just depends on how you use it.

  • I am reminded of the phrase cuttin' off yr nose to spite yr face.

    Quite how this relates to unsightly flabbiness masqueradin' as WWF prowess or rockits destined for mortal parabola scenarios, I dunno.

    Eithah way, the transformational entreprenoors once again gaht their hands on what was workin' OK an' made with the dystopian magic wand till'n a pan-experience frickfest ensood.

    What can be done to stahp alla the big time ad revenue partnahs FLEEIN'?

    Like King Henry VIII said,

    "While the syph me doth consume,
    no wives do offer suck.
    To succeed, I may presume,
    demandeth more than luck."

    Dunno.

    What is it 'bout entitled guys with pasty complexions an' zero shortage of perfectly destroyable expendables?

    In my experience, Twitter is a great platform to share your information major to individuals. As we talk about the new version, X is strict and to the point, if you lose their protocol, they ban and or suspend you as well.

    I don't get what "Threads" is supposed to be. Seriously what is it? I'm somehow getting followers on it though?
