Twitter is experiencing a decline in popularity for various reasons. First, it has been losing its most active users[1]. The internal documents of Twitter reveal that "heavy tweeters," who make up less than 10% of users but post 90% of the platform's tweets, are disappearing from the site[2]. This decline in engagement can impact the overall popularity of the platform.

Second, some users have raised concerns about the platform's relevance and its ability to foster meaningful discussions. Twitter was once seen as a digital town square where thinkers and activists could come together to discuss and organize. However, there has been a shift in the perception of the platform, and some argue that it has failed to maintain its role as a meaningful platform for public discourse[3].

Additionally, Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter has had an impact on its popularity. Advertisers have pulled spending and power users have shunned the platform, leading to decreased engagement and a potential decline in popularity[6].
