    Depends on who is leaving, I’d say. The biggest draw to Twitter, from my outside perspective anyway, is news. Headlines, sure, but especially live, on the ground coverage.

    If news orgs quit X, that’ll be a big blow. Some left already, but I can’t remember who it was off the top of my head.

    But if breaking news, like protesters posting updates live, start coming majority from somewhere other than X (most likely Bluesky at this point), that will really signal the beginning of the end for Xs relevancy.

    Just my $.02, to be taken with a large grain of salt.

      Yes, if that were to happen it would be a big blow. It hasn’t happened despite all the things, so I’m not holding my breath.
