The 'IWasGoingToQuitTwitterBut' hashtag is going viral on Twitter
Back in April when Elon Musk said he was buying Twitter, 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.
Now that the reality of Musk buying Twitter has sunkenin(quite literally, too, as Musk entered Twitter HQ yesterday carrying a sink like the one-man meme band he is), the debate over whether or not to leave Twitter has revved up again. Some have dramatically announced their departure from Twitter with the pomp and fanfare of a professional athlete announcing their retirement.

In the last 24 hours, the hashtag #IWasGoingToQuitTwitter has exploded. Some users posting the hashtag claim they're staying to see how the messy drama unfolds, while others are holding on so they don't lose their hard-earned following and clout.
Here's a smattering of why people can't quit Twitter just yet.
