I am baffled that Twitter is still around.
But I also know that I've been using it wrong for over 10 years. I have two accounts with zero overlap. One that's kinda tacked to my real name and where at max I followed 200 people, of which 75% I've met in person - the 'lowest interaction' would be: met at a conference and had a beer or something. The other account is for some different field of interest, but I'm also only following and interacting with ~100 people. The result is that I only barely notice all the drama and repeatedly don't get all the fuzz. It feels more like IRC than social media, because it's a net positive and I can mostly opt out of the bad stuff.
It's fascinating that you can keep your bubble so well inside this larger ecosystem, but as I said, that's why I don't get how the company is still alive if the majority of users would be me.
