 @2c841a34 @393f4547 maybe nothing else will replace all the elements. Twitter emerged during a time when even having a website was a pretty new thing for journalists, let alone social media. So it could represent a kind of Standard Oil/IBM moment before an industry becomes mature.

 @b870d4c8 @393f4547 yes, agree. I think there will actually be a reflection on how best to store and distribute journalistic content. Perhaps back to use of websites / blogs / newsletters, with #twitter / #X, #fediverse and #threads being considered more as distribution platforms rather than places for content creation.

 @2c841a34 @393f4547 I wish I could agree, but the journalism/news media industry has just been thrashing around in a non-strategic panic for the last 20 years since Google and Facebook started to eat their lunch (advertising revenue). We might see a general collapse, because no one has developed a replacement business model.
