Something I hate about stuff like this is people who work for media publications assume everybody else on the internet is like them. It reminds me of the Gawker days. They're all blue checkmark types and assume the world's discourse, the true "zeitgeist" is on Twitter. It's incredibly myopic. Now that Twitter is crumbling, they're looking for something else, which is fine. But I wish they'd have the self awareness to acknowledge that Twitter never truly was what they thought it was. All social media networks have a niche. Twitter's appeal was to journalists/'mediarati' and people who want to be (or are) important in some way. It wasn't this ubiquitous thing that EVERYBODY used. Some of us got off Twitter like 7 years ago and have been blogging ever since.
