【Watch A Taste of Experience Online】

Back in April when Elon Musk said he was buying Twitter,Watch A Taste of Experience Online an intense debate kicked off online over whether or not to leave the social media platform. At the time, many users reacted in outrage, vowing to leave the platform over the change of hands and presumed consequences.

Some have dramatically announced their departure from Twitter with the pomp and fanfare of a professional athlete announcing their retirement.

But other brave souls have chosen to sacrifice their wellbeing and stay on the platform...in protest. In the last 24 hours, the hashtag #IWasGoingToQuitTwitter has exploded.

• In Elon Musk's world, it seems Twitter bots are always to blame
• Joe Rogan and Gayle King texted with Elon Musk over Twitter buy
