😗 Returning the Blue Ribbon: My Twitter Plot Twist

 

Returning the Blue Ribbon: My Twitter Plot Twist

You ever had that moment when you look at something you’ve supported for years and go,
“…yeah, this ain’t it anymore”?

Well, that’s where I landed with Twitter. Or X. Or whatever they’re calling it by the time you read this. I decided it was time to pull my support, pack up my little blue ribbon badge, and hand it right back like a library book I forgot I checked out.

Don’t get me wrong—I’m still going to use social media. I love sharing ideas, connecting with folks, and stirring up the tech conversation. That’s my jam. But financially supporting a platform that can’t decide what it wants to be anymore? Nah. I’d rather put my hard-earned funds into something that’s actually growing and pushing the world forward.

I’m talking about AI.

That’s where the magic is happening. The innovation. The future. The stuff that sparks my curiosity at 3 AM when I should be sleeping, but instead I’m asking, “how can we automate half the stress in life?”

So yeah… my investment energy is shifting.

And honestly, the only thing I’m really going to miss is TweetDeck. Yeah, they call it Pro now, but look—that was the tool. The clean dashboard, organized columns, real-time feeds. It made social media feel like mission control. Now it’s behind a paywall and somehow less fun.

I’ll miss that. I really will.

But with all the changes Twitter is facing, I can see the writing on the wall. If things keep going like this, 2026 might be the last year I even consider supporting it in any way. Platforms rise and fall, and this one feels like it’s rolling downhill without brakes.

Meanwhile, AI is climbing the mountain with rocket boosters.

So I’m redirecting. Rebalancing. Reinforcing the future I want to be part of.

And trust me, I’m still out here spreading #PositiveVibes, sharing tech stories, and connecting with amazing people. I’m just not paying for the privilege anymore.

If Twitter figures it out someday, cool. If not… I’ll be over here chasing the tech inside.

Stay Curious, Stay Connected
