What's the Future of Twitter?


Recently, I'm coming across many resources (videos and articles) stating that Twitter has no future, and it's gonna die out for sure.

I'm a Twitter creator, so I'm curious to know what's going to happen to it in the future because of Elon's actions.

There's a battle happening over Twitter, as Elon is clearly leaning right, and Twitter former culture was left-leaning, and there are US elections next year.

The fact Elon's leadership has been erratic and incompetent, and Twitter is losing a lot of money isn't helping either.

No one knows the future. If I were you, I'd maintain my Twitter audience, but look to diversify to other platforms, so if Twitter goes into oblivion, you don't lose everything.

I believe it just takes time to iterate on such a big platform so as long as Elon (or whoever is running the show) doesn't give up or blunder it by being misguided.

Personally just today I've found my Twitter experience more engaging than ever. I'm seeing more relevant tweets on my 'for you' based on previous engagement like startup founders for example which I think is cool.

Who knows what the future holds.

Can you diversify your content and audience base? If so, do so.

At the least, the usual recommendation is to get a newsletter set up just so you have an email list of core followers in the event of needing to migrate platform.

Same as other zombie social networks. It might even be worth hundreds of millions to, for example, Yahoo, once it settles into the afterlife.
