After Elon Musk’s sudden takeover of Twitter, many people saw and heard so many SEOs and marketers take the brave but necessary step of leaving the platform.
But a recent survey conducted in this regard proved that users are not yet ready to leave. Remember, Elon Musk’s mega changes as CEO of the firm have certainly been unexpected and groundbreaking in this regard.
Moreover, so many reports hinted at how users were more tired of using the app now that he has bought the company. And then we saw the website lose more than a million accounts since Elon Musk took over.
On that note, a survey was apparently conducted by Search Engine Journal. It asked users to provide feedback on whether or not they would get on board with the ‘quit Twitter’ movement. And if that was indeed the case, then where were such individuals going?
Thus, a total of 1,500 app users were taken into consideration and these individuals provided responses on platforms such as Twitter and LinkedIn. And the overwhelming response was that most people had zero intention of leaving the platform. About 40% of LinkedIn respondents claimed they weren’t going anywhere. On the other hand, another 25% added that they would not leave.
Meanwhile, some 34% of respondents mentioned that they were making a move to leave or had already done so. But then 25% mentioned that they weren’t too sure about their overall decision.
A similar survey was apparently conducted in The Twitter platform. And it turned out to yield similar results, but the sample size was significantly smaller. We also thought it would be interesting to bring some responses to what people had to say. Their answers were unique and certainly different.
Some revealed how they’re leaving the app and joining Mastodon, and it’s interesting how the platform has actually seen a surge in new followers following this latest Twitter change.
Others were enthusiastic about not leaving the app and excited to see what dramatic changes they would soon undergo. And then some were worried and waited carefully to see what the next situation would be and how it would develop.
Through such responses, we were even shocked to discover how some people had recently made the decision to join the app, while others left it a while back. Some interesting comments left by big names on LinkedIn about Twitter was another exciting adventure to witness.
Dave Ferrell predicts that most users will stay and he also thinks that more people will now join the digital platform with a lot of growth expected in the next two years. On the other hand, Bill Gales Jr. says the thought of gaining free speech is certainly compelling and makes him want to stay.
Next, Kristina Martin thinks she might be better off on platforms like Mastodon, but hasn’t made the final decision to leave Twitter yet. She really wants to see what happens next and how Musk handles the whole situation with so much at stake. As it is, she’s not very active in it anyway.
Tifiny S says she is still looking for the button she boldly says she left almost a decade ago. And then you have the likes of Marco P mentioning that there is no reason to quit the app when you have a man in charge who is stopping people’s voices from being silenced in situations where their opinions don’t fit into a particular narrative.
Roth Edward found out how he made the account only at this moment and could have missed all the drama and fun in general.
