Completely agreed, but that's also the point I was making. The issues with sites such as Twitter are fully self inflicted. The network is simply not designed for the spread or promotion of meaningful information. It's designed to attract followers through the promotion of celebrity/business accounts, and maintain their presence through maximizing "engagement" regardless of the direct consequences of prioritizing "engagement." And the celebrity/business accounts are attracted through the ease of being able to promote their business/persona/agenda, regardless of the value of any of these things. It's like running a casino and then suddenly having a fit conscientiousness about it driving poor economic decisions. It's your entire business model!
