I hate twitter because it's 90% self promotion, virtual signaling, humblebrags. I guess I'm old and this is some new evolution of humans. Back before twitter most of these narcissists and sycophants didn't have a platform and so except for a few TV celebrities they rarely entered my life. Now, the moment I enter twitter it's like the entire world as become some purely self promotional, self congratulating... It's like exactly all the type of people I was raise to distrust and avoid. Maybe they were all there to start just hidden from view but the world was better with them hidden from view IMO. It's not the same as writing an article/blog which requires the reader to spend several minutes to engage with. Instead it's more like being at a party or conference but instead of just talking to the 2-4 people near you everyone is shouting out "look at me!", "look what I made!", "believe my way!". We talk about how the algorithms surface "bad" things but I'd say even without the algorithms the platforms (Twitter, Instagram, etc...) at a fundamental level, promote bad behavior (showing off, bragging, etc...). There's a reason cultures for 1000s of years looked down on this kind of behavior. These platforms by bad luck of their design, promote it.
