An open letter to Elon Musk: Leave stan Twitter alone:- “Twitter’s most active and influential users are often referred to as ‘Stans.’ If you want to maximize your impact on the platform, it may be helpful to emulate their dedication and engagement.”
“Recent changes at Twitter, including significant staff reductions and a controversial new verification system, have prompted criticism of CEO Elon Musk’s leadership. Some have argued that these moves reflect a short-term focus on revenue at the expense of the platform’s long-term health.”
“Sometimes, as you settle into bed at the end of the day and reflect on recent choices, doubts can begin to emerge. Perhaps you wonder if you’ve made mistakes and if others are judging you. Despite these worries, there may still be a chance to turn things around and improve the situation.”
“Reversing course and undoing recent changes may seem like a simple solution to some, but there’s one important piece of advice that shouldn’t be overlooked: be careful not to alienate your most dedicated and passionate users, as they can wield significant influence.”
“Among the many factions of Twitter users, ‘stan’ culture is a force to be reckoned with. These passionate and engaged communities, including the Barbz, Arianators, Swifties, Beyhive, and K-pop stans, are some of the platform’s most valuable users.
In particular, the massive Army fandom of K-pop superstars BTS has helped the group claim a significant portion of the most-liked tweets in history. In contrast, Elon Musk’s tweets have generated relatively little engagement by comparison.”
Here are four reasons you should leave them alone:
1. Elon Musk: They don’t want anything from you
“Stan Twitter is a community that values creative expression and engagement above all else. They don’t need much from the platform beyond basic functionality and prefer to operate independently.
If you can provide a stable and reliable platform for them to connect and share content, they’ll be more than happy to do their own thing without much interference from you.”
2. Elon Musk: They are crucial to the culture of the platform
“Stan Twitter is an incredibly active and engaged community, constantly creating new content and setting new trends on the platform.
With their frequent tweets, they’ve introduced a whole new vocabulary that has become a part of popular culture both online and offline. This passionate community is a major reason why Twitter remains a relevant and relatable cultural hub.”
3. Elon Musk: They make Twitter valuable
“Stan Twitter’s enthusiastic engagement on the platform has made it an attractive destination for brands, celebrities, and marketing teams. As highly active and vocal users, they help drive the platform’s economy and make it a valuable space for advertisers to connect with consumers.
Their passionate presence on the platform also adds to Twitter’s appeal as a bustling and dynamic hub of the cultural conversation.”
4. They’re never going to pay for Twitter
“Given the importance of stan Twitter to the platform’s success, it’s crucial to avoid alienating this vocal and dedicated community. For example, introducing fees for posting videos or increasing the limit on daily tweets would likely be met with resistance from these users.
Given the choice between paying for Twitter and supporting their favorite artist, stans would invariably choose the latter. It’s important to keep this in mind when considering changes that could impact this important user group.”
