Examples:
- Celebrity accounts
- NPR
They all quit over petty disputes with Elon Musk's policies.
But any mature, sensible, or business savvy person would find a way, and work within their constraints.
Why did they fold so easily?
My theories:
- They are all run by inexperienced people who can't handle the smallest bit of challenges in the workplace. Maybe managing a Twitter account is their first job.
- They are all heavily influenced by FBI, and CIA. They are encouraged to just quit.
- They are all managed by the same firm who lacks the man-power to play a chess game with Elon. (Any kind of work that's as complex as chess is too much brain power for them).
- Twitter or a white hat proposed a plea bargain that requires quitting Twitter.
The reality is these organizations are only on social media as a way to bring readers to their websites so they can get clicks for ad revenue. Twitter is changing as a landscape and it's no longer friendly or working for them a.k.a. profitable and worth the effort, to spend money to have a presence on a platform. The reason NPR is leaving Twitter is the same reason why NPR isn't on Gab or Parler or Truth Social - there is no real value for them to spend money to pay someone to post on those sites because no one there wants to hear what they have to say.
