Its clearly down significantly (25-50%) from its 2020-2022 numbers.

Half had ad revenue?

Its overall user numbers may have returned to some degree, but how much of that is RW bots and foreign fake accounts? It clearly hasnt recovered its US user numbers. (See “X users by region 2017 to 2024“ table in link below) … and that’s from company released information, so who knows how accurate it is … it could be much worse than published.

I dont think its anywhere near as productive of a place as it was pre-Musk and I have zero interest in wasting any time there nowadays. There are much better/ more accurate sources of near real time information on other platforms. I dont think its a well run business and I feel bad for any of my old colleagues that still work there (although I only worked there for a short project back a decade ago).

Besides why would you use a platform where you KNOW Elon Musk is openly corrupting the algorithm and spreading misinformation on purpose? Seriously? The guy in charge is blatantly lying to people and trying to manipulate public perception on that platform. I’m skeptical of anything from that platform going forward because their leadership is not even close to honest or honorable.
