Those who use X provide attention and feed the algorithm. People are outraged about the consequences, but continue to provide the fuel. This is not a necessity, but convenience – and often fear of losing reach.
Those who describe X as a threat to democracy cannot at the same time want to “continue to inform” there. The logical consequence would be to leave X and switch to platforms that do not monetize outrage. Anything else is legitimization through participation.
