I tried to use it to read about TMTG but the plastering of unrelated memes everywhere made it pointless. Deleted account.
The site hasn’t had a single positive metric since it launched lol. It’s all a grift
“The company claims it does not track key indicators that social media platforms traditionally use to monitor their performance. Those include metrics like a site’s active user accounts and its daily and monthly visitor numbers, as well as its revenue per user and ad impressions.”
Truth Social is an absolute propaganda machine - what a cult following. Can’t believe people actually buy shares in this soon defunct company like all Trumps other ventures. He is such a con man and a major LOSER - worst businessman anywhere.
I’m on there all the time and it’s better than Facebook, once DJT takes down the deep state we are going to the moon. Hodl!
and when they launch streaming probably at the convention it's also going to the Moon
Did anyone think it would grow?
I recall many believed Mastadon was going to be a major success from the start. People just can't quit Twitter.
Not anyone with the gifts of critical thinking and self-reflection.
TS is 1/4 hopes, 1/4 fever dream delusions, and 1/2 money laundering/circumventing campaign finance rules (and on that, actually quite brilliant. I give credit where due).
we can detest it, but, for now,it is completely legal. Oligarchs oligarching.
The drop off is likely related to loss of vision or motor skills due to age-related senescence. It doesn’t come back (unless you’re Hindu and have solid karma)
Oh my. 🤣🤣🤣
This is the main problem with echo chambers, the people who want to be in one also want to argue against the other side and when the other side is elsewhere it loses its appeal…
TS is also limiting itself because of infighting amongst users. There are more accusations of trolling and announcements of blocking than any other site I've seen. There's such little patience for discourse that even different levels of extremity who agree on the same root principle silo themselves. It's amazing.
This is what I've noticed too. Almost like without another side to argue against people will just create one.
Wrong.
Truth Social monthly desktop and mobile web visits in U.S. totaled 9.8 million in August 2022; in May 2024 that was 3.9 million.
Truth Social daily active users in the U.S.
Weekly average on iOS and Android
That’s a smaller number than the town I live in.
And they think that there's going to be some explosion of traffic due to the election... Isn't it getting a little late for this downward trend to end, no?
I'm assuming if Trump wins, he's going to make it the official platform for all government communications. Or he'll ban Twitter from the US.
"Nearly two-and-a-half years after its launch, Truth Social is struggling to hang onto its small U.S. user base, according to new data on the microblogging platform launched by former President Donald Trump’s media company.
So far in May, U.S. daily visits to Truth Social have dropped more than 21% from April, and more than 35% compared to March, according to digital intelligence platform Similarweb.
The site’s average number of monthly visits over the past year — just over 4 million from May 2023 to April 2024 — plummeted more than 39% from the prior 12-month period, from May 2022 to April 2023, Similarweb reported.
The traffic has declined even as Trump — the most prominent Truth Social user and the majority shareholder of its parent company, Trump Media — has saturated the national news with coverage of his criminal trial and White House bid.
And while the app saw a surge in visitors in the lead-up to Trump Media’s public trading debut in March, Similarweb’s most recent data show that those gains have already been erased.
The user and engagement data from Similarweb and two other data firms, collected and analyzed exclusively for CNBC, offers a glimpse into how Trump Media’s flagship product is developing — one that the company itself has yet to provide. "
“Why would we comment on a fake news network reporting on fake analyses?” the company said through a spokesperson. "
Ah, thank goodness that ever reliable company snarksperson was available to respond.
“Why would we comment on a fake news network reporting on fake analyses?” the company said through a spokesperson.”
SimilarWeb did indeed get the data wrong. But TMTG won’t comment because the SimilarWeb data is inflated. The real numbers are even worse. If they were better TMTG would be crowing about it and sharing the proof very very loudly.
Sharing that their traffic is down 39%?
