Not really.
Most of the people I know , including me, go there for just one reason: To know the public opinion.
- rwz 8y agoTwitter is actually very bad at this. It's designed to amplify the most fringe, outrageous, and reaction-provoking hot takes, and trending stuff. A lot of sensible people either don't comment on twitter, or their voices get drowned in a sea of outrage and more engageable reactions.
- JohnFen 8y ago> To know the public opinion But always remember that you're only getting to know the opinion of the twitterverse. That may or may not track public opinion overall.
