I think the real decline was when Twitter went from 140 to 280 characters per tweet.

Nah. It was the right time. Did allow for more nuance ultimately.
I wish Twitter would have allowed users to categorize/label their tweets in custom feeds that each reader would have had the option to follow or not follow as opposed to follow the entire account. Twitter feeds were way to noisy especially when replies were mixed with tweets.
280 was still ok even though there was a lot of outrage.
10k now turns it into a different service.
The clarity and quickness to read is gone when you don't need to think anymore but use more word.
"We write frankly and fearlessly but then we ‘modify’ before we print."
Clarity and quickness..
I like those attributes in social media.
