It's fitting that this is my last tweet of one of my 800+ blog posts shared during my 15 years on Twitter. Patrons can be wonderful—but beware of relying on extremely rich ones…

[Adrian Segar @ASegar]

We are becoming a patron economy. In the future, content creation will be increasingly supported by the subsidy of patrons.

@MelEdits I've only spent time with one billionaire, who was/is extremely f'ed up. But I suspect that the vast majority of the others are also El*on quality. Anyway, time will tell. I warned you.

@MelEdits Bluesky is owned by Blockchain Capital. It'll get enshittified too.

[Adrian Segar @ASegar]

@MelEdits Me too! But do you really want to post your content on a site owned by billionaire Zuckerberg? Mastodon is wonderful, like Twitter in the early days. I strongly recommend moving there.

[Adrian Segar @ASegar]

After 15 yrs, today will be the last day I post evergreen content to my 8K+ followers. Next week, I'll post why I'm leaving #Twitter, once wonderful, now a hellhole. Follow me instead on #Mastodon—the only major #SM platform not owned by billionaires—[email protected]
