In my eyes, news outlets like for example ProPublica had started to lose respect, because they still use Twitter like nothing ever happened.
Why they don’t leave like what The Guardian did or like the other news outlets?
Are they too corporate internally to leave Twitter?
Why did The Guardian leave then?
The Guardian is a top newspaper. Number 3ish in the UK. It already has a massive following.
The people being mad at propublica for not leaving I think is something only happening in your social sphere
Why most reasonable US citizen won’t leave the US now that the orange dude is in charge, free to spread his terrible ideology? Probably because they can’t leave the country (their job, their family, their friends…). The same goes for most media, they need to reach their audience and a lot of their audience is still on X. Edit: and because they refuse to leave the country in the hands of the Orange dude, too.
Papers like The Guardian are able to take risks, because they don’t rely on ads revenues but on subscriptions and because they also know some of their audience (hi, guys) aren’t on X anymore ;)
