>There does seem to be evidence that X (formerly Twitter) is a dying platform,

Absurd statement.

Check the App Store's news app rankings: https://apps.apple.com/us/iphone/charts/6009

X/twitter is #1. reddit is #4, NYT is #11, Fox is #16, AP is #18, CNN is #21.

That's not a dying platform as much as you clearly wish that were true. The question is why are you so hellbent on convincing people something that is clearly not dying; is dying?

If X is dying, CNN, AP, Fox and NYT are stone cold corpses with reddit having its last gasp.

Maybe declining might be a better choice of word than dying.

Threads apparently overtook X for DAUs last year according to SimilarWeb.

Threads surpassed X in DAU only for mobile, with a slow decline shown in X (see plot), with "dying" being a misleading word. For web, X has 18x more DAU than threads [1].

Total daily active users (all access methods) is overwhelmingly for X. I can't find the trend for web. Please post the link you found.

Disclaimer: I use neither.
