It's weird to admit, but ever since Twitter jumped the shark LinkedIn has become my main replacement. Closest thing to vaguely broad views and updates from people most of which I know to some degree.

It _is_ cringe, but not the stuff my "network" writes, and not really based on writing style, for the most part. It's mostly just the sponsored and boosted stuff. That also wasn't my favourite content on Twitter.

If X tries to become LinkedIn, it sounds like their major opportunity is to become the worst of both worlds. And what Elon thought was "cool" in the past was, at least in my opinion, mostly not.
