While listening to radio music during a recent road trip, my attention wandered, and I realized I was on the verge of becoming sleepy enough to pull over. The weather was terrible — no day to step out of the car without an umbrella.
At least if I wanted to stay dry.
In recent months, hundreds of thousands of dissatisfied X users have closed their accounts and taken flight. X’s traffic has decreased. Dramatically.
Why?
A change in X blocking is one reason. It used to be that when you blocked someone, they couldn’t see anything you posted and vice versa. Now, if your posts are set to public, “accounts you have blocked can see your posts. However, they cannot engage (like, reply, repost, etc.) with your posts.”
Another reason for the exodus: X’s stance on AI.
