A few days ago, Elon Musk officially confirmed the purchase of the bluebird social media platform. After this announcement, many other ideas came along regarding what Musk would like to do with the platform now that he’s the owner.
His decisions have directly affected famous Twitter celebrities that are now reconsidering their presence on the platform. The most famous case in the game industry has been Nibel’s declaration to leave Twitter. The celebrity built a following of 450,000 by regularly tweeting breaking news and memes.
"After some introspection, I've made the decision to focus my time and energy elsewhere and move on from Twitter," Nibel tweeted today from a private account. "This marks the end of my video games coverage and my active participation in this platform. Thanks to everybody for the fun times!"
Nibel migrated to his Patreon account and launched a Discord channel for followers to join. Sadly, both of these profiles have been scrapped.
In a short blog post on his Patreon account, Nibel criticized the future of Twitter, including Musk's "seemingly infinite immaturity."
“I’ve learned a lot in a short period of time. Unfortunately, I was not able to create an interesting and sustainable Patreon which is evident in the number of Patrons stagnating during the first weekend and the first (of many) pledges being deleted during the first week.
“I have miscalculated the value of my Twitter activity and realize that it is nothing worth supporting by itself for the vast majority of people. It is not me who is popular, but it is that work that is useful. It is not valuable by itself but a comfortable timesaver, and I get that now.”
