You're ahead of the game if you don't care about any of that. Question is though, why bother using it at that point?

- couchpillow 10y agoSometimes just the act of writing something down or putting something out there is therapeutic in a way, isn't it? Sharing can feel good even if it is only with a single other person. Doesn't have to be a 'best seller' and 'liked' the world over to be meaningful to yourself. If I post silly little thought or quip, I'll chuckle to myself, and move on with my life. Doesn't matter to me if anyone else actually sees it, shares it or whatever else. I got the laugh I needed out of it. Maybe someone else will. Maybe no one will. If you're marketing or have some deep need to be loved by internet strangers, the stats are important. But some people just like to share for the sake of sharing and aren't in it for the points.

- eddieroger 10y agoI should clarify - I don't expect a return on what I put out. I get a ton of value for what I take in, and not using Twitter would take that away to the point of detriment. I view the article author's point as using Twitter as a platform, and she is getting her value out of it. I look at it like a giant party where I can eavesdrop on interesting people and sometimes say something - sometimes people talk back, sometimes I'm taking to myself in the corner. I'm fine with it, and happy to be at the party.
