It was funny reading Kara Swisher keeping saying twitter is dying and is toxic and what not, while STILL doing all her first announcements on twitter, and using twitter as a source.
same with Ashlee Vance (the other journo reporting on this) and all the main players (Sam/Greg/Ilya/Mira/Satya/whoever) also make their first announcement on twitter.
I don't know about the funding part of it, but there is no denying it, the news is still freshest on twitter. Twitter feels just as toxic for me as before, in fact I feel community notes has made it much better, imho.

In some related news, I finally got bluesky invite (I don't have invite codes yet or I would share here)
and people there are complaining about... mastadon and how elitist it is...
that was an eye opener.
nice if you want some science-y updates but it's still lags behind twitter for news.
