This is one big reason I began to hate Reddit before the API bullshit. Reddit users would constantly bitch about Elon and Twitter, while linking to Twitter on every thread. How much further does Twitter need to fall, for people to stop using then as a default link? They don't create content anyways, they're just a link middle man, Twitter is essentially Pinterest
Twitter is definitely not just a link middle man, the main use for most is to follow people that use Twitter as their main way to talk/make annoucements about what they do. Be it politicians, artists, event organizers, teams, players etc.
For example where I regularly see links to Twitter is when people/organizations announce what they're doing with eSports tournaments. They don't announce that anywhere else. So if you want to be informed at all, you must have someone viewing their Twitter feed, either yourself or through someone else.
Yep, the centralizing of announcements is a bigger issue than link aggregation.
I work in pest control and want to follow several industry experts and guess what? They only use twitter to disseminate information because they're mostly academic and don't follow too much online drama.
I want to continue following them, but need to create a Twitter account to do so since Musk's new ideas broke the website recently and you can no longer lurk without an account.
So I am torn between trying to follow experts and improve myself as a professional, or cut myself off from that source of information in order to try and reduce the amount of traffic that twitter gets.
I would suggest Nitter to you, and then subscribe to its RSS feeds.
I think much like invidious or piped, most people aren't aware of nitter.net for sharing twits.
I exclusively post original content on twitter. It's the only platform I've managed to grow any audience at.
