I’m genuinely curious about peoples thoughts on this.

It made sense for a while. But the branding change was 16 months ago. The URI change was 3 months ago. Everybody knows now what X is. Yet for some reason, I still see in news stories today:
“… on X — formerly known as Twitter — and said …”
I really don’t think that’s needed anymore. But I’m always one to want changes as fast and painless as possible.

So what do you think would be an appropriate amount of time to keep reminding everyone that Twitter is now X?
Months?
Years?
How many?

    The next gen is gonna be making fun of Gen Z by saying “formally Twitter” and Millennials are finally going to win.

      It’ll be the first win we ever had. We damn sure aren’t winning in the housing market.

      Hey, millenials. Show of hands, who has a house???

      See, millenials HAVE hands. You just don’t see them, because none of us have houses.

        We’re doing ok in Europe.

        Even with lower salaries than the US, most people in their 30s I know have a mortgage.

        I myself bought at 31 with my wife.

        It’s not affordable for everyone but it’s doable for people with actual salaries, you just might have to compromise a bit on position or size.
