That's the thing I can't fully understand. What sticky secret sauce does Twitter have that keeps people on it? I never saw its appeal and never created an account. I tried Bluesky and was underwhelmed. Instagram had some stickiness, but then it got stale after the initial novelty wore off. Maybe my brain just isn't wired for those types of social media.
No secret, it's just social graph + apathy.
