Twitter's downfall needs to be studied when I tell you Twitter used to be one of the greatest apps of all time bro if you would have asked me a few years ago what my favorite app was honestly not even my favorite app my top five favorite apps I would say Twitter Twitter Twitter Twitter and Myspace I don't know Myspace just sounds really cool I mean I've never been on it but it it just sounds super sick if I'm being honest with you but Twitter was just an amazing app at one point but I feel like in the past 2 years Twitter has just fell off like crazy like Twitter was so great that I remember back in like freaking 2018 2019 meme pages on Instagram all they would do is screenshot tweets and just re-upload them to ig and that would be the whole meme like that's how amazing Twitter was Twitter was so amazing that on Tik Tok there was a whole trend of people literally just standing in front of tweets but ever since Elon Musk has bought Twitter I swear Twitter is now like it's now 50/50 some days are good and then some days are just complete and utter garbage now for yall that don't know Elon Musk bought Twitter back on October 27th 2022 and after he bought Twitter he actually unbanned a lot of people a few of those people being Donald Trump that man used to be tweeting like crazy y'all remember the whole ASAP tweet the like it was a rocky week get home ASAP or something that that was a pretty Banger tweet by Trump I can't lie to you another person that he unbanned was one of the goats of Music Kanye West and another person that he unbanned was Andrew Tate which I'm pretty sure we all remember 2022 that was like Andrew Tate's Peak year but yeah Twitter was off to a pretty good start you know a lot of people were getting unbanned some people were getting their old accounts back some meme Pages were coming back because I mean they got banned but I swear ever since 2023 came along Twitter has just plummeted to the bottom of the earth number one the name why did Elon Musk change the name to X nobody was ever going to call it X in the first place everyone was still going to refer to it as Twitter it's kind of like when that syrup company changed their name from Ant Jima to Pearl Milling Company ant jamaa has been around since like the 1960s you changing the name to Pearl Milling Company that doesn't change anything it just makes the company look stupid cuz at the end of the day people are still going to call it Aunt jamaa regardless and another thing about Twitter being changed to the name X I feel like X just doesn't have like it doesn't have a ring to it hey check what I just sent you an X like that just doesn't sound right like yo bro check that Meme I just sent you on Twitter like that sounds way better but when you say x like X it just doesn't sound good you feel me but another thing these only fans girls now look I made a video about Twitter back in 2021 and these only fans girls on there they weren't running rampid but they were in the comment sections you know like oh I'm the hottest 18-year-old on only fans and it still happens today I can't lie to you I mean if you scroll to any comment section you're going to see more only fans girls than ever but if you thought that the only fans promo in the comment section was bad well let me tell you that it's gotten even worse in the year of 2024 these only fans girls are stepping it up a notch they're now paying people to promote their only fans specifically bigger Twitter accounts like I remember about a month ago I seen this probo on Twitter and and it said Aisha or the Omnitrix and you can just tell that this is an only fans promo because who the absolute hell is Aisha I have never heard of Aisha in my entire life I'm picking the omni tricks all day another one that's pretty stupid is this one right here it'll say something like nah this video is wild then you'll have the girl in like a picture then the next picture will be her like on the only fans doing the dirty you know and then another type of AD I've seen is when a meme page will say who is this girl and why is she trending and it'll be a girl that you have never ever seen in your entire life back then when it was in the comment sections it was pretty avoidable obviously it would be annoying but it was just more of a joke you know but now since you have to see it and it's shoved down your throat every single day you just see a new only fans girl being promoted it's starting to ruin the app another thing that I find pretty stupid about Twitter is the whole Twitter premium thing now if you don't know what Twitter premium is well it's basically a subscription service that enhances your Twitter experience that's also priced for $16 per month or $168 per year and actually here's some of their amazing benefits you get grock Early Access which none of us care about what grock is we just want to see regular Twitter we just want to put out tweets laugh at stuff and just comment below on random things nobody cares about grock you can edit your post which I mean that is cool but is that $16 a month cool no nobody is paying $16 a month to edit a post if anything I'm just delete it then post a tweet again with the correct grammar or fixing whatever mistake I made on it nobody is going to pay $16 a month to edit post on Twitter that's just stupid you can download videos which I mean most phones you can just screen record videos off Twitter then crop them so why would you pay $6 a month to download a video that's just stupid you get paid to post which is monetization which we're going to talk about in one moment you get a check mark which we're going to talk about that in a minute also and two Factor authentication which used to be free on Twitter but yeah you can also HDE your likes HDE your check mark and HDE your subscriptions but honestly the whole thing I want to talk about with this whole like Twitter premium thing is the verification because that's what people are really buying it for cuz people want to act like they're a celebrity when they have 12 followers if you have 12 followers and you're following 300 people nobody's going to think you're a celebrity with that fake verification bro people are going to realize that you bought a verification and call you an idiot none of this stuff is worth $16 a month I am sorry how much is a Netflix subscription let's see standard Netflix is about $15.49 per month it looks like and premium Netflix would be $22.99 Netflix what you get with it is this large catalog of movies and TV shows that you can watch but with Twitter literally if you pay for Twitter premium it's just a bunch of things that don't matter at all like downloading videos like I said you can just screen record it it's just not worth the price tag bro I am sorry but nobody is paying for that and if you do pay for it you're probably just paying for that verification overall I just think it's pretty stupid and I just feel like you're a Corin ball if you buy verification like being verified does not mean anything in the year of 2024 it truly doesn't if you care about verification in 2024 you're an absolute idiot monetization has also ruined Twitter because honestly all that leads to is just people impression farming now if you don't know what impressions are well it's basically Twitter's version of views you know how on YouTube when you click on a video it'll maybe say like 100,000 views well yeah that's pretty much the same thing with Twitter except for instead of being named views it's just called Impressions and impression farming is basically when somebody is just posting stuff just to get views whether that be a hot take clickbait or even reposting a popular tweet it's basically just posting just to get views that's pretty much it I swear every time it's the end of the month verified people people just start tweeting the most BS hot takes or they just start recycling the same tweets that went viral for them like a year ago like it's just stupid like this post right here you can see that this woman said men that can cook is Sassy to me and that was January 29th 2024 you can also see that she has the verified check mark next to her name so she is paying for Twitter but what's funny is that somebody actually quote tweeted this saying nothing to see here folks # rent do and it's a tweet of her saying a man that can actually cook is top tier this is just one of the many examples of of people impression farming once the end of the month hits January 29th hit and this woman just started tweeting BS like there's no way that in the course of 6 months you went from saying that men that can cook is top tier to saying that men that can cook is Sassy that makes no sense at all the other day I literally seen a hot take of somebody saying LeBron James will beat Muhammad Ali in a boxing match it literally just doesn't make any sense at all but if there is one great thing about Twitter I would say that it's the community notes now if you don't know what that is let's say somebody tweets something out like for example this tweet right here says smartest kick streamer and in the video it's a kick streamer putting a fork in a toaster but at the bottom of it you can see that it says this is not real and you can click on it and everything people link it to the article it's kind of like you can fact check something to see if it's real or not in a tweet like this since it got community noted it wouldn't make any money the monetization is just off and I feel like that's amazing so really what the community note does it just calls out people's BS when they're trying to impression Farm just for some bread but yeah that's like the only good thing about Twitter Twitter was once an amazing app but I swear ever since Elon Musk bought it the app has just gone downhill from the name change from Twitter to X from all the only fans girls promos from Twitter premium and buying check marks and also from the impression farming from people's monetization the only really good thing about the app is the community notes other than that that's pretty much it but yeah let me know in the comment section below what are your guys thoughts on Twitter like is Twitter still a top tier app to you guys or do you guys think that Twitter is absolute garbage now ever since Elon Musk bought it but yeah with all that being said this is going to wrap up the video If you guys make this far I appreciate you if you guys enjoyed this video then I highly recommend you guys check out my most recent video it'll be right up here on the screen but yeah with all that being said thank you guys for watching it's Cameron and I'm [Music] out
