Twitter has certainly done a loooot of harm, but to be fair it has done good as well. It wouldn't have grown like it did if people found no use for it.

- rossdavidh 5y agoSometimes, people use something, even though it does them no good.
- tolbish 5y agoFor a second it seemed like you were about to list the good Twitter has done.
- blackbrokkoli 5y agoAre you seriously implying that "people finding a use for it" is somehow proof for doing good? Like, that's such a giant leap I struggle to even call it leap. If someone would give the perpetually drugged up guys in front of my local McDonald's a bunch of Semtex-H, I am sure they would find it quite useful, but I also doubt that the world will become a better place.
- mandmandam 5y agoIf you care to do your own search for why people like Twitter, I'm sure you can find reasons. And, since apparently you need this spelled out, the reasons are quite dissimilar to the reasons "drugged up guys" would find explosives useful.
- CRConrad 5y agoIf all you're going to do is say "Google for it!", then you don't get to make the claim. Any claim.
- pc86 5y agoUsing something is different than providing good, and using something is different than finding "a use" for it. You'd be hard pressed to name objectively positive things Twitter has done, which I imagine is why you didn't.
- mandmandam 5y agoNo, I don't because it's incredibly easy for people to type "benefits of Twitter" into the search engine of their choice. Astoundingly, you're not the first person to imply that there is literally no benefit to Twitter whatsoever, despite the awesome ease of finding the benefits by typing two or three words into DDG. That doesn't change the facts though.
