Some people have thought about this topic for years, but Twitter ignores such knowledge because destroying civilization is more profitable https://twitter.com/anildash/status/898935261584801792 https://twitter.com/anildash/status/898935261584801792 http://lesswrong.com/lw/c1/wellkept_gardens_die_by_pacifism/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/c1/wellkept_gardens_die_by_pacifism/ I think some charity is in order here - while it's easy to be mean (see what I did there), it's harder to propose real solutions that will work at scale, indeed lots of websites want to and no-one really has at scale (though many do much better than twitter). I think Paul Graham has been going on about this for years too, at least since he founded this site. If Paul Graham was somehow associated with twitter I'd have more sympathy with your viewpoint but it's not some sudden epiphany. Ironically, the hot takes of twitter and retweet feature he's complaining about have been used here to misrepresent his views and present it as such for the sake of a cheap rhetorical point. Also, twitter does have all three points in the article, but it's nowhere near enough (I think they fail at the third point but there are also other more concrete solutions they could try see my link below).
