X has been nothing short of an exercise in brand destruction. However, despite all the drama, it still stands, it still exists, and it remains relevant.

I just think that apps / social networks / whatever are usually not replaced by a copy of the same thing.

Google+ didn't replace Facebook, Signal didn't replace Whatsapp, Bluesky won't replace Twitter.
