Wish Twitter would just stop existing already. Why do people acknowledge the shitty owner of the site at all? Just keep this scum out the news. Easy.

If Twitter stops existing it will just mean less competition in the social media sphere and help further expand Meta’s share in the market. That’s not a good thing.

Most people don't have any fucks to give over who owns what. If its running and convenient to them, they'll use it.

You need to know which way the shit is floating so you can avoid it.

Thing is that most news editors still have to eat and pay rent. They do not run on subsidy and basic income so that they can just do fuck all. Unless this changes, mainstream news will continue to carry content that drives clicks and engagements.
