schestowitz[TR2]""Which brings up some questions:Sep 24 17:52
schestowitz[TR2]Are the followers of Big Tech News accounts artificially inflated (purchased follows)?Sep 24 17:52
schestowitz[TR2]Or are we seeing millions of “dead” followers who simply no longer use X (or care)?Sep 24 17:52
schestowitz[TR2]If so, that would suggest that close to 100% of every X user who has ever followed Big Tech News accounts no longer uses X.Sep 24 17:52
schestowitz[TR2]If nobody is interested in what Big Tech News journalists have to say on X… how are these outlets faring elsewhere (including on their own websites)?Sep 24 17:52
