Well done, man. A perfect overview of the clusterfuck that is Twitter.

You mention that social media platforms with eventually move to a paid model. You also believe twitter could be undermined by a competitor.

I believe that much of the internet was created under an eyeball model that later transitioned to advertising to get revenue. Started with Porn. Then search. Social media. The delivery companies a.l.a. Uber and Doordash also had an eyeball model.

Google and Facebook succeeded until Apple stepped in. Twitter has never gotten there. Netflix and streaming companies are struggling. Artists and writers are striking to get real revenue from those using their IP including AI training.

Medium and Substack are ways for writers to get paid for their content. The internet is undergoing a fundamental shift. Maybe that should be the real definition of Web 3.0
