This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Its spirit is dead, but its corpse lingers on.

Not even close. It simply has too much critical mass.

Twitter was taken over by a white south african nazi and grifter with delicate sensibilities and people are still using it like nothing has happened.

Reddit would have to enshitify even more, and believe me they are trying.

I'm not seeing any proof the Twitter is doing well as a company.

It doesn't need to. This is about the relevance of the platform, and it remains highly relevant.

Social media companies exist to control what the public thinks the public thinks (generally). They don't care nearly as much about profitability, and its obvious that musk more than others felt this way, especially with getting exactly what he wanted politically.

that and i don’t think its ever been profitable

to add to your point the biggest community on sh.itjust.works:

https://sh.itjust.works/communities

collapsed inline media

people love twitter so much they subscribe to it on other social media platforms!

No. It's definitely not what is was, for sure. But while search engines (especially Google) are so fucking bad, adding 'reddit' to your search is still the best way to get answers to your actual question and not just irrelevant sponsors and paid plugs.

Ofc that's probably a big reason why reddit has swarms of bots for grass roots advertising.... it's a vicious slippery circle of slop

I haven't found a useful Reddit result that is less than two years old. Bot answers don't provide the same value as actual human expertise. Go figure.

Sadly, but no. From good news we only have increased amounts of bad reviews online and in app stores like Play Market.
