The other thing I see happening is that lots of influential accounts are going to substack. The thinking (I'm sure) is "How do I monetize."
The problems with substack are obvious: With Twitter, people could scroll through and see what, say, 20 experts had to say about a topic.
If you have to pay $5 per month for each one, it's obviously prohibitive.
I decided early on never to monetize my social media or blog, and that has been liberating.
(I monetize by making my book editors pay me.)
