It became a force. It became an essential tool. It was centralized. All sorts of people used it, shared things on it, you could sometimes see news happen right in front of you. 

Were there a real alternative, I think journalists would bolt. But there is none. As much as we like Mastodon, or are intrigued with BlueSky or whatever, Twitter took a long time to become what it was.
