In Twitter's case that's the main product getting worse without any of the wannabes getting that much traction.

It's different. People spend YEARS building their social media presence, following, and algorithmic advantage.

Jumping to a different platform is a huge sacrifice for power users - those who create content and value.

None of this is a factor here. ChatGPT is just a tool, like an online image resizer.

IMHO Twitter drove its own need and now that it has pretty much gone no one wants the hassle of serving a new master.

I don't really get the social media landscape. Myspace transitioning to Facebook had a pretty clear direction; people moved on from one thing to the other. These days it feels like people are just... getting out of the habit of using certain kinds of media.
