It seems like geopolitical statements and international announcements happen a lot on Twitter/X these days.

Are those statements actionable or simply to feed polymarket and US stocks.

I’m not a power user/poster but I see it as no less valuable than many other similar places. All of them have similar problems. For me it’s probably bifurcated by time spent tuning the feeds.

I know some people have ideological things going on that make them choose different networks, but they have more than half a billion active users so it's not exactly a ghost town.

In The Netherlands it’s a full on crazy town. I’m not kidding. It’s bottom of the barrel vitriolic garbage. Not one positive , insightful or interesting tweet among them.

I go check it out once a month, it's nothing but bots, AI hustlers and Musk jerking. Why would any brand actively invest in their presence there?

how many of those "active" users are just bots?

Value? Are others valuable? Why are they buying bots if there's nobody else? At least it's an RSS reader :)
