Because it is an utter hellscape of puerile racist cabbages, crypto scams, and the completely unavoidable charisma vacuum that is Elon Musk; it is the remnants of a drunken uncle’s accidental kitchen floor piss.

It has no credibility. When I think of X I think of a divisive hellscape filled with rage bait. People and bots just shouting at each other. One of the very websites that is being used to erode the fabric of our society.
Plus, Elon Musk is an absolute weapons grade bellend.

It’s full of bots, engagement farms and one of the most angry places on the internet

They don’t want to advertise on a dressed up 4 chan?

The question should be “what took them so long”, the trend and change was apparent as the muskrat took over.

I still post there, mostly trolling maga lunatics. Pretty much silenced, the algorithm provides people like me – few followers and no blue tick – with very little reach. Still it’s good for getting stuff off your chest.
Almost every post attracts retweets and likes from new followers mostly claiming to be Elon and a fair number of “girls” looking for a date. I think I’ve accumulated a few hundred so far.
Just had a quick check – 370 followers and the first 2 or 3 pages were all claiming to be Elon, someone representing him, or the occasional “girl” advertising her height weight and preferences.
Basically the place is a cesspit populated by some of the dumbest “maga” on earth, scammers, and bots.

Because a tipping point might have been reached and other platforms are available. Threads is now bigger on most metrics and has no adverts….yet.

Because organisations care ahout 1 thing, money. Twitter is now seen as more brand harm then help which effects.comsumer choices. So they leave and communicate via other channels, Instagram. They don’t really care about musk role playing mussolini they care about money and twitter us loosing them it

Why are so many organisations still there, is the real question to be asking. Why are they comfortable with that platform and its activities.

Because it’s been turned from a neutral microblogging platform into a right wing neo-nazi propaganda mouthpiece for Elon, who makes the Spitting Image song ‘I’ve never met a nice South African’ seem like a documentary about him.

Because it’s a hellscape run by a Nazi for Nazis.
Wow, I should be a journalist.

Can’t speak for organisations but for me and a few of my friends its because suddenly one day (like someone flipped a switch) our feeds and suggested posts were all far right crap with a fair few of the posts being openly racist in nature.
X was pushing content that we’re not interested in even though we never looked for it.

Why do organisations not want to have a presence on a social media site that for weeks tolerated and facilitated the production of child sexual abuse images?
It’s a mystery, for sure.

Well it’s an old protocol, really old, and noone is working on it. And while it’s replacement is argubly not ready, it’s in a good enough- Wait, you ment the platform that was *generating and distributing CSAM not even a few months ago*? Yeah ngl it’s no wonder people are leaving.

Is it the Nazis or is it the paedophiles? Could even be both that are putting people off, hard to say really.

It became a toxic place. Even the branding has become less welcoming, we used to have a blue bird. Now it’s a dumb X.
Then there’s the undressing scandal, which included underaged people. Pedos.
Let’s not forget the bots. The bloody bots that have irrelevant politicians gassed thinking they have supporters, when they try to rally said supporters they get a few strays who look jobless and unhinged. Basically people even those irrelevant politicians don’t want to associate with.
The only reason X isn’t bankrupt is because Musky boy caught the LLM wave then raised funds against that, just before this the banks were trying to offload the debt at a loss. Then the xAI stuff can’t save it now he’s merged with SpaceX.

More importantly, why is our government still on it? It gives X a veneer of respectability that it absolutely no longer deserves.

Because it’s owned and operated by a white supremacist, for the purpose of promoting white supremacy.
This year it has also been the largest producer of CSAM on the open internet.
A better question is why is anyone still on there.
