Twitter isn't technically useless at this time, not yet. Not like, say, YouTube, where actual functionalities were literally flushed down the toilet. If this not making YouTube drop from second place on most popular websites is anything to go by, Twitter's not really going anywhere, plus being a billionaire, Musk can afford a period of near-inactivity.
You had me until you said YouTube was useless.
I just used it to fix my dishwasher and it saved me hundreds on a service call and repair.
Same for a squealing toilet. Two bucks to replace a single part.
YouTube is awesome.
I mean in the sense of using it as one would use an online community. The ability to comment on videos was thanosed by COPPA, their popularity system is far beyond fixable, and big businesses convince YouTube to take down innocent videos for no reason all the time.
Meh, gotta protect the keeeeeeeeeds.
