"Twitter said that it has 126 million daily active users, a figure that is dwarfed by Facebook's 1.2 billion daily users and that fall short of Snapchat's daily users by 60 million."

When I first created a Twitter account, there were not many reasons to use the app due to the lack of its popularity. Instagram was known for sharing photos and liking others' pictures, making it one of the top social media platforms to be used.

Twitter is a social networking and blogging service, allowing users to read and share short messages called "tweets." Twitter messages are limited to 280 characters and account users are able to upload pictures and/or videos. It was created when smartphones were rising to success, for those who wanted to distribute messages to multiple people.

For a couple of years, mainly between middle school and high school, I stopped using Twitter because no one else was really using it and I just did not see a purpose. Then I re-downloaded the app because it became popular and I could see why. There were many trends on Twitter, as well as memes and other funny matters. Twitter also improved their app, offering "dark mode," which makes your feed a dark color instead of the bright white.

Ever since I re-downloaded Twitter, I have yet to delete the app again and I have become a daily user. Although it does not have the most daily users, Twitter has an average of 330 million monthly users, which in my opinion is a decent amount. There are individuals who prefer Twitter, and others who prefer Snapchat, FaceBook, or Instagram. I do not believe that there have been any negative situations within Twitter, other than their low-rising success back in the early 2000s.

Ever since Snapchat came about, people have been expressing their lifestyle less on Instagram because when using Snapchat, you are able to post a story and everyone can see what you're doing at that exact moment. A couple years after that, Instagram improved their social media platform by allowing their users to post 24-hour stories as well, making it a better competition between them and Snapchat.
