Great question — I'll speak from personal experience first before speculating on things beyond me. For me, one the biggest draws of Twitter back in the day was that it was a source of news obscura that would often be News in a few days; this almost oracle-like quality to Twitter is sometimes what I feel when I see prediction markets like Polymarket When X ceded the ability to be accurate and impartial, it certainly lost that luster and I (like many others) looked for alternatives like FC and Bluesky. However, I've never been able to have the level of retention I had for old X; the things I'm missing - Communities I want to 'observe' (e.g. academic fields I'm not in) - Communities I end up contributing to with longer form writing (e.g. fields I work in) - News But every time X is too debilitatingly PvP and nihilistic, it is insanely refreshing to come back here and see some optimism
