Perhaps. But there is some truth about signal to noise ratio. Just like us "old-timers" saw happening with email (spam and on mailing lists) and later on forums. The flood of average – both posters and responses – is drowning out value. Hollow emotions (and offence) are winning from uncoloured intelligence and rationality. There's a tipping point, and I guess Twitter has gone over it.
