It used to be one of the best places to share art and updates related to media creation. No, I'm not joking. Twitter before 2016 was a place people shared bad jokes and you could hear what your favorite celeb was up to at the same time. 2016 saw bots infiltrate and the more negative sides started growing.

Elon isn't the cause of what ruined Twitter, he's just a natural evolution of what that site deliberately attracted after a few changes in ideals. About 90% of the things he's implemented existed and then were immediately removed due to controversy or regulations years before he bought the site but people who use the site have famously short memories so they think he magically invented the crap policies.

If it does end up crashing then whatever comes after will likely focus on the art and media aspects as Reddit and even Facebook already catered to most of what Twitter offered, but that's just a guess.

TDLR; important people use it basically because it used to be an art and media update site until interests changed and people aren't leaving the site yet.

Don't you know, according to the right you're being homophobic or transphobic if you call out a homosexual or trans person for having shit ideals, even if no where in your criticism is any issue with the person's sexuality. But it's not homophobic or transphobic to try and deny familial rights to homosexuals and trans men and women who want to marry and start families.
