Why isn't #Twitter (X) dead yet? #ElonMusk has done everything he can to bury the #platform, hasn't he?
In my opinion, it's the journalists who are treated like dirt (💩) by #Musk but just can't let go of the platform.
That's partly because they prefer to make headlines with #clickbait and scandals and still link diligently on Twitter. In this way, they give the platform relevance in the media and make Musk's rants seem like important discourse. On the other hand, it is because the average journalist is apparently too incompetent to discover new platforms for himself.
I'm probably doing an injustice to the little journalist who is just trying to make ends meet somehow. But it's amazing that the big publishers are so inflexible or have made themselves so dependent on Twitter that they can't or won't switch.

This is a spectacularly good analysis of why traffic referrals from social media have fallen off a cliff and what it means for publishers. This all comes out of what @pluralistic calls the enshittification of publishing, social media, and ads. People are tired of and overwhelmed by clickbait journalism. The answer, of course, is to provide actually good content, and present it well.

The future trend around not having social traffic at scale

This is an illustrative story:
TV Misogynists chat on TV about how some female journalist is so awful they wouldn't even wanna screw her.
Which at least causes a bit of a fuss. Enough so that another TV show invites on a lefty journalist woman to debate some right wing dude on whether there's really a patriarchy and if misogyny exists.
The dude lets it slip that they're paying him to do so, which takes a few seconds to sink in. You can see the outrage on her face as it dawns on her that he's getting paid and she isn't.
To talk about whether there's really any culture of misogyny.

Stop providing reach and respectability to a known right-wing site.

This is such egregious journalistic malpractice. Biden saying on the campaign trail that his son hadn’t made money in China is in no way grounds for impeachment and Thompson and whoever edited this shit know it—and should know what is fueling this charade.

The #BBC is #ConcernTrolling about parents not being told their kids might be #Trans by the latter's schools.
Y'know, precisely the sort of thing that might lead to abuse in the home if it ever comes out.
Beeb News frames this as poor parents being left in the dark, or rather, losing control, which is what this really comes down to. (Even though they found out anyway.)

The sick inhuman world of Elon #Musk and why he bought #Twitter {Warning it's getting crazy)...
“She {his daughter} went beyond #socialism to being a full #communist and thinking that anyone rich is #evil,” Mr Musk said.
...
“Unless the woke #mind #virus, which is fundamentally anti-science, anti-merit, and anti-human in general, is stopped, #civilisation will never become multi-planetary,” Mr Musk told Mr Isaacson.
That's the reason why a single person shouldn't have so much money and power!

Three GOP-nominated judges on the very conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals threw out 9 of the 10 prohibitions on government contacts with social media cos handed down by a lunatic Trump judge. Note the difference in emphasis btw the AP and CNN on one hand, and WaPo and the NYT on the other.
Only the AP led with the fact that the 5th circuit shot down much of the lower court's ruling. None of the pieces conveyed that this is about RW judges embracing bonkers conspiracy theories.

The extensive article details the allegations that a PR firm called Bunker 15 has been recruiting and lobbying small, self-published critics who are still part of the countless critics that Rotten Tomatoes monitors. Bunker 15 then allegedly paid specific critics $50 or more for each seemingly positive review, several critics told Vulture.
