We might see what happens over the coming years. I think there's probably going to be a mass exodus from Twitter and social media generally, unless the platforms change at a very fundamental level.
But currently they're so profoundly unhealthy for both individuals and society at large that they'll end up with the same kind of fate as cigarettes.
- Nasrudith 6y agoSame fate as cigarettes how? Getting lawyers addicted to chasing dragons of large class action lawsuits regardless of any harm or wrongdoing actually existing? (Hello physics-illiterate cell phone cancer lawsuits.) Used as a way for organized crime to generate profits due to exploiting disparate tax codes? Used as a cliche when they are a vastly stretched metaphor at best? Twitter is a dumpster fire of user interface (their only remotely right features are infinite scroll and hashtags) and dynamics but calling it is trivializing literal cancer and externalized deaths because idiots make asses of themselves. The problem with society at large has always been society at large.
