I suspect that once the legacy Blue Check goes away, there will be many journalists who will still do everything they can to keep Twitter relevant.
Yes, the stats are a lie, and "reach" should be taken with a grain of salt. Few people click to articles from Twitter. Elon Musk, himself, views journalists with contempt.
And yet, many journalists will continue to use Twitter because giving up perceived social status is scary.
