I didn't use Twitter much, but each time I did, it was so frustrating to limit what I wanted to express in less than 280 characters, and splitting felt stupid.

I didn't use Twitter much, but each time I did, it was so frustrating to limit what I wanted to express in less than 280 characters, and splitting felt stupid. So I removed the less important words, replaced long words with short ones, then when it finally fit the limit, I didn't press send, just read it again, and hated it because it was oversimplified, limited my vocabulary, made generalizations without caution, etc.
I can easily see how it can turn normal people into dumb assholes, especially since there's the dopamine rewards of having tons of likes, retweets and comments, incentive to be extreme, by being extremely positive or extremely negative.
