This is a click baity title but holds up as mostly truth as Twitter is the number one platform that provides consumers instant information. As soon as something is tweeted you can see it.

No one can control the speed of this information machine. They can try and regulate it but they can't stop it (Great examples being Myanmar military coup, Hong Kong protests, terrorist factions posting propaganda or telling on themselves, ect).

To those who are excited that Elon is taking over so that it can be destroyed all because you hate that you can't fat shame without flak, tighten up.
:ufdup:Think about what's really going to go away if Twitter goes under. I can only hope Elon's dumbass does make it faster for non-western users (if that is even a legitimate problem he claims).

And when Twitter goes away what instant feed is as legit? Facebook? Instagram? Laughable. This forum is always the last to know about anything. Once twitter goes away you'll have to rely on FB or Instagram live at best to get a thread started. That's all.

Yahoo to Google.
MySpace to Facebook
Blackberry to Android/IPhone
BBM to WhatsApp
Netscape to Firefox to Chrome.
Blockbuster to Netflix (and now there are a number of alternatives).

If a need exists, something will step into capitalise.

These aren't quick transitions, this is literally the evolution of social media/electronics and every single one of these had a slow upheaval.
