The IT Nerd

I just became aware of a Tweet by a guy named Matthew Price who is the CEO of Cloudflare. Because he’s the CEO of Cloudflare, he’s in a place where he can tell what websites are popular, and which ones aren’t. He put up a Tweet showing traffic levels at Twitter. To quote Eddard “Ned” Stark from Game Of Thrones, Brace yourselves:

Clearly, traffic going to Twitter is dropping off a cliff. Which means that if you’re an advertiser and Linda Yaccarino knocks on your door saying that you should advertise on Twitter, you can show her this and ask her why you should bother seeing as traffic to Twitter is falling. I very much doubt that she would have a good answer for you.

I would like to see this graph after Threads has been around for a couple of weeks to see if Threads is truly “killing”Twitter. If traffic to Twitter continues to fall, then it’s safe to say that Elon Musk wasted $44 billion and he’s pretty much screwed.
