  1. Twitter predictions: - it's not gonna dramatically and conclusively go offline, never to recover - but it will get slower, glitchier, and have periods of downtime - also, abuse & spam & bad vibes will increase, now that they've slashed the moderation staff

      - advertisers have largely left, and won't come back while Elon Musk is around. that's where the revenue came from, and subscription services won't make up for that at all - maybe it'll go bankrupt? or get sold on for pennies? or just limp along losing him lots of money

        further, spicier prediction: Twitter is going to institute stricter policies against NSFW content. (quite possibly ineffectively)

          why? Apple currently lets Twitter show tits within their iOS app, which basically no-one else is allowed to do. i imagine that relationship is a little rocky nowadays... and if Twitter has to choose between having an iOS app & allowing tits, they'll go the same way Tumblr did.
