If you’ve ever made a thing that took so much time that it has to be your job, and earn you money, you’d likely have a different view. If you’re ignoring a percentage of your target market because they’re on a platform you don’t like, then your project might fail, and you don’t get to keep your house.
If your stated downside to still using Twitter is that it’s a waste of time, is that invalidated if your posting tool posts to all of your socials with one click? Like most professional social media users that have to maintain a bunch of channels with the same content?
Also, who is being dramatic about how important it is to be on or off twitter?
Ok… but his thing can actually happen… your version of the bad things that can happen for still also posting news to twitter is all imaginary stuff that doesn’t happen in real life. Being upset about the direction Twitter and Reddit took and are taking is a totally valid, and honestly the objectively correct position to have about it. But adding in imaginary penalties for using it is not.
You’re saying it’s completely impossible that a game developer remortgaged their home for their project and then failed to meet their required sales by a small amount that could be accounted for by being active on Twitter?
Like, completely impossible for that to happen under absolutely any circumstances?
If your entire argument hinges on such a myopic view of things then your argument is not very good. We also both know that I am not saying “literally zero people ever“ and that it is patently absurd of you to interpret my point that way. It’s dishonest and ridiculous.
You know what my actual argument is, hiding behind a flagrantly dishonest interpretation of it is not the slam dunk you think it is. Unless you are truly that ignorant and only able to read things hyper literally, in which case I apologize for expecting too much of you.

All of this stupid disagreement is about this:
For some people, that’s a choice between scraping by and failing.
I’m saying: do what you gotta do
