This is an interesting sabotage to any figures that want to maintain their presence.

If you search for "brandname twitter", you're probably going to get what you want. "brandname x" will be a SEO catastrophe.

Maybe they hoped to drive people to navigate through their own site and search facilities, but generally, not being where people are looking is a terrible strategy even on a chain of bad strategies.

Corporations just seem to be getting more and more abstract... Here's my ✨ amazing ✨ (non-complete) list:

  • Oversimplification of logos (*cough* *cough* Firefox killing our fox)
  • Corporate Memphis (that big tech, supper flat, indestiguishable art style)
  • Websites (everything is either a bento box, image carousel, or loaded up with scroll-based animations -- or all of these)
  • Names (Facebook is now Meta, Twitter is becoming X)

Corporate Memphis is just the worst. I dunno why but it gives me heavy dystopian connotations.

It kooks like children were forced to design corporate logos in ms paint.
