That was the only reason I got a Twitter account to begin with... to post
YT video notices... but I did eventually get to following a few accounts,
like MeTV, Fleisher Cartoons, and the Onion.

I stopped posting notices a while back.

His buying it didn't bother me at all, and I admit somewhat enjoying the
exposure of "shadow banning" and the outing of the antifa kiddie porn rings
that soon followed.  I have never really cared for him as a person, though,
and the idea of him being involved in government is not to my liking.

There is a newish, Twitter-like platform called BlueSky.  Most of the
accounts I was following on X either cross-post to BlueSky or have moved
over all together.  https://bsky.app
