I think that by having all major console makers abandoning Twitter, that it will keep Twitter / X away from the majority of the younger generations. (which I think would be a good things for those wanting to protect your kids from the content that's allowed to free spread on there.)

You really think kids use consoles, to access social media, more than phones, and tablets?

Perhaps, with them no longer being able to easily upload clips to twitter from consoles, they'll be less inclined to participate on twitter. I agree it's not going to change much, though. I wonder how many people were even using this built-in integration anyway?

I know that more kids play video games daily then most adults that work and pay bills, which is besides the point. Most of the time it seems youngers use Discord to communicate then Twiter, when playing games, be regardless of what things might seem.

By removing Twitter from major gaming platforms would make Twitter less relevant to that market which is a lot, over time. It will almost look like Myspace in a sense. (not necessarily that Twitter would be closed down but just that they likely aren't likely going to be using it even willingly, over something like Discord or Instagram.

I don’t know any kids that use twitter. They all use Snapchat.
