Active Adult Users Tweeting Less in The U.S., Many Plan To

Abandon Twitter

Among current and recent users, women are more likely than men to have taken time away from the platform in the past year (69% vs. 54%, respectively). Black users are more likely to do the same than their White or Hispanic counterparts (67% vs. 60% vs. 54%, respectively).

The recent analysis also shows that most users who were active before Musk's acquisition have begun tweeting much less, with these users' average tweet numbers per month dropping around 25% following the takeover.

Youtube Has StartedBlocking AdBlockers

When watching videos recently, one Redditor encountered a popup informing them that "Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube." The message offered a button to "Allow YouTube ads" in the person's ad blocking software and went on to explain that ads make the service free for billions of users and that YouTube Premium offers an ad-free experience.

It also provided a button to sign up for a YouTube Premium membership.

The moderators of the YouTube subreddit received a message from the YouTube team confirming this popup was part of an experiment the company is running.

It appears to be a very limited experiment, as we've only found the one user report, but it could be a sign of things to come.
