X glitch wipes out most pictures and links tweeted before December 2014::Ellen’s famous ‘most retweeted’ selfie from the 2014 Oscars has had its image restored, but most old tweets have broken short links instead of the media or links that should be there.
I think you overestimate the user base.
Unless you happen to be in one of the countries or niches where Twitter is really popular, you won’t reach a relevant amount of people on there.
That goes without saying, I mean in places like the US/UK/Japan etc, it’s useful. Many artists almost depended on it.
