It such a large network and great at blasting information out. Lots of youtuber/livestreamers still have to eXcrete on x or less they loose their audience. And it’s not just video, writers also depends on the big ole X megaphone to aunuce book releases, beta reader applications etc etc.
Honestly furry artists are probably the freest from X since they have so many of their own social media sites.
You X following even is part of the reason for publishers to pick up your book.
Add to that some police departments actually use to send amber alerts.
You just have the world’s largest public megaphone in an attention based economy. People can’t leave for anything smaller.
Of course, but it needn’t be black and white. You can also diversify, make yourself less reliant on a single platform. And by doing so, enable your audience to follow you elsewhere. Or diversify into different activities altogether. And when it’s no longer half your income on the line, then switch.
But doing nothing and saying, “but half my income!”? That’s not only a choice, but also complacency.
True they could spend the extra time poating on blusky first. Thrn on Twitter with a note that all posts are posted first on blusky. Enough people do that it would move the audience. But then people need to care enough to spend that extra time and care about what platform is used. Moat people care Twitter in the same way they care about ipv4 vs ipv6 addresses. Sad but true.

Great points, except:
They can and some do. It’s still a choice.
technically yes but if leaving means you loose half your income then is it really a choice.

Great, so make it a public utility.
