It's really only as toxic as you make it for yourself. I never see or encounter any toxicity since I only follow artist accounts. My feed is like 90% people posting their works and 10% people posting food pics/cats/stream schedules.
Twitter always seemed like a place that was pointless unless you need to advertise yourself in some capacity. It NEVER seemed like a pleasant platform to be on for the average person (though at one point it was better than Tumblr). & It's gotten worse with the new CEO. So, on one hand, it's good that she's leaving. On the other hand, she really shouldn't have been relying on it in the first place.
I don't know you could make some friends and have it be a pleasant place to be if you are an average person as in not trying to build something as in content creation or seeking clout and just seeking out genuine connections instead as it is supposed to be a social media platform in the first place not a job advertisement place Though some places become so big that they should be crowd founded and become apart of the public domain as it becomes unsustainable at some point and they have to charge for stuff or shut it down. It would actually be a great use of people's taxes for once
I see Twitter with is worst side and Good side. I think the big problem that twitter does for big creators / upcoming ones is that since so much communication and Current topics can be talked on there, not many platforms that do try and be like twitter fail hard thus resulting in no completion for it While some like me view twitter as a place to find, connect and make new friends like with any social media site, it gets plauged with a lot of clout chasers, horrible celebs, depressing news and people who are either really stupid, trolls and scammers. Its nothing new, but twitter has that power to amply anyone's voice whenever you login-ed in On a side note: The For You Page Tab on twitter that was added long ago was the worst decision they have made cause now its gathering data on what tweets you view and click on and was the random chance of seeing death cartel footage or just straight up murdering. I do think twitter can be used for a good cause despite it being in the complete shitter, it think using it in moderation can help alot of people as i make sure i only follow people that i do like, friends or YT i sub to and not take so much of what people say to seriously. It can be hard for alot of people but try it can it help a lot
@@DINOJeff26 People like VTuberSenpai says don't spend more than a few min on Twitter/Social Media a day that way you can get stuff done, and honestly he is right as the feeling of being connected with people is addicting.
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena True! Like I’ve said in the first comment, it’s about moderate time for yourself on stuff like social media. While the feeling of connection is good it can be unhealthy if you make it your whole life.
I haven't seen any kind of change honestly, the only bad stuff I had was that for some reason the algorithm was promoting sports to me at some point. Other than that, I guess I'm not addicted to twitter enough to notice any kind of change.
Good for her. X(Twitter) nowadays is just good for random meme & announcement stuff about your stream. The trend of legitimate hard work Vtuber get off that platform may make you lose your content but I think you would like that happen than getting new shitty thing to report.

@@imarock.7662 okay so you think its completely completely not over the top to have someone else run your social media, and other people personally hand pick all content fed to you? i understand avoiding haters and stuff, but filtering every little thing is overkill.
@@tamayaspicech.5480 No, I do not think it's over the top at all. In fact, I don't know why more content creators don't do that, because that's a great alternative if they don't want to leave twitter altogether. (Which they should want to regardless, let's be real, because twitter is shit.) Having things you don't want to see filtered out ain't overkill, it's sensible. If more people did that then we probably wouldn't have TwitterFr*aks getting pissy over literally nothing every 5 fucking seconds.
She doesn't need to completely abandon Twitter, she just need to completely ignore everything else and just use it for updates and such. My oshi, Gura, does the same. When she's not streaming, she is completely off of Twitter. She just use it to promote streams and some Hololive-related stuffs.
it would still be possible for her to see the stuff that she was exposed to on twitter which caused her to leave, and what gura does is a great idea but bao may just want to leave twitter in general
If someone has a problem handling alcohol, you don't tell them "oh, it's still okay for you to have a beer on the weekends." If Twitter is really affecting this kid beyond the point where she can manage it, going cold turkey is the healthiest approach. Leave the promotion stuff to her manager.
I would've have agreed with you until quite recently. (Not)Twitter (aka Elongated Muskrat's blog for nazinonces and PDFfiles) is increasingly dying on it's arse. I'm not sure how much it'll help with promulgating Bao's scheduling or promotion when the only people on the platform are the few twisted revenants toughing it out.
She may still have temptations. The best thing for addicts is to completely get rid of it lol. You can come back after a long time and have really good self control.
I've never fully used Twitter, I only started trying to use it when the mass exodus happened from Tumblr. But I can never stay on for that long, it's always been such a horrid website. I got one to follow some of the artists that dipped, and post my stream announcements, but it's really not worth it. It's such a emotionally and mentally draining website. I wish there was another site I could follow all these artists that left Tumblr when it had its rocky spot. All the politics, tribalism, drama... it's so annoying, and taxing. Good on her for dipping, it's so not worth staying on there.
i'm on twitter but i don't spend a lot of time there and i don't post a lot either, usually just scroll through the feed for a bit maybe like and retweet some art.
Based decision. I lately I did the same and I feel better and have more time. I'm not a popular content creator so it's not as important platform for me but I can see where it's just not worth it even for people with big following numbers.
Can't say I blame Bao for dumping it. It was getting a little better for a bit, but it seems like that small bump of improvement has long since left and things are back to average at best, if not objectively the worst it's ever been.
I just mind my own on the silly app cringe many who buys his way in is speedrunning into the ground. Bao and such use it to network, collabs to contact their circles sad vtweeters and anti's ran the silly jiggly whale girl off it. Bao did what most them vtweeters only dream of, and the lack of *having talent* hope she's okay! never let the rats feel like they got a "own" on you.
Yes I'm thankful someone finally cut twitter off it does more harm than good I hope more content creators do this especially vtubers that has constant drama in their communities
As someone who doesn't watch Bao (I tried but her random moans gets really annoying after a while) the only thing I gather from this is that she was way too addicted to social networks, so I guess this is good for her, but honestly I only use Twitter to follow a few models and a few vtubers so I couldn't care less.
Honestly she would of been way better off by just saying she's bailing from Twitter/X, say her good byes to her followers, wait a day or two so they say it back and shut down her account.
twitter has always been a toxic shitstain of the internet. gonna be honest saying it now just has become that is just wrong. still glad she leaves the platform and actually realises its bad for her mental.
I can agree when something is toxic. Yet, the way a person uses a tool is telling of their mental capacity. When humans use something, things will always get that way. It is better to find options and how to manage a problem. Bending the knee and having your manager do extensive stuff, isn't the W she thinks it is. Either way, Boa has her own vision on how to achieve her success. 'justifying' is used weak here. Dont use justifying again, Boa. Just say what you want to do! No need to ask why others are offended while Boa clearly was the ONE offended. Kinda dont like this whale now, after seeing this...dangit. Making her manager go through, agony too, wtf.
There’s definitely a bittersweet feeling to her reaction, It’s like if she was saying one thing but she’s either not convinced or think otherwise. Sorry for the comparison but it also reminds me of someone buying an expensive item that they don’t need, regret it, but will start justifying their purchase to not take the “L” and assume they made a mistake buying it.
I personally don't really have a clue what you mean by this, like am genuinely trying to parse the meaning. Though disagree on the manager thing. That shit just sounds wack to me. Like, what's the point of a manager then? If she was forced to do it, or felt emotionally driven to when she didn't have to, or anything else, I guess sure? But even though not all may do it, I thought it was pretty common for managers to also do social media managing. Neither of them seemed to think it would end in her suffering for it either, so I find myself further and further confused where you are trying to go with that.
@@MajorLawliet parse? I'm going to have to look up that word. It is strange to say that you can't understand when it's in clear typing. My point about the manager, is that Boa literally said her manager is the meme where a soldier takes knives/bullets/attack while covering someone who is sleeping. They are in agony. I never said her manager is doing anything especially wrong. What is wrong, is how fragile Boa really is.
@@smolwife "But it is so clear" doesn't really answer things for me though, so not sure why you are telling me that. The fragile comment, meanwhile, just weirds me out, if not outright makes me uncomfortable. Having thicker skin being a good thing is not something I'd oppose, but "just have thicker skin" it is not a good suggestion. Is not even an actual suggestion, is unhelpfully vague. It entirely disregards the inherent differences that exist between people that turn what you may consider easy, much harder, even with professional help, not to mention that it is realistically not advice. I would imagine it would be no less frustrating than to tell an artist to just "check their basics" or to look up some random tutorial. It is frustrating, and annoying, because not even you have a clue how they can achieve this, which must be the reason the comment is so pointlessly vague. If her manager, who she pays, and herself are the only people affected, it's essentially her personal business... I don't know, I just don't comprehend why you'd give a shit. If you don't like it or vibe with it I'd understand, even if I'd completely disagree with that way of seeing it. But your literal second sentence is "the way a person uses a tool is telling of their mental capacity". "Bending the knee". "Justifying". It's such condescending nonsense, like she's an emotional toddler giving in because she's not doing things the way you like it. Is just really fucking weird, and almost seems to be ignorant of the negative effect the internet can have on actual mental health and that issues of mental and emotional health aren't things you win by always just "confronting" it. That an actual thing you may be recommended in therapy to work through your emotions, it works for you. It seems to be doing a lot more good for her than interacting with it.

You know shits bad when people actually have to take drastic measures just to leave a funny word app.
Now it's a funny letter app.
Tbh I don't think the platform is going away, but it certainly has been getting worse since the new CEO.
I don't hate Elon like most do, but community notes were the only good thing he added
Better for it to be a shit hole than some elitist echo chamber for either side.
I forget the CEO’s name but I think there’s not a lot she can do other than put out Elon’s fires
The new CEO is litterally a WEF insider of course its getting worse but still better then B4 elon bought it
