Twitter is only populated because that's where the creators are. If the creators leave, the people will follow.

Yep. And it's okay to say "when" here.

There's no one-in-a-million magical future timeline where Elmo stops enshitifying Xitter and it rallies to remain relevant.

It's just a matter of how long inertia carries folks before Xitter joins the Sears catalog.
