One thing both Elon and his haters have in common: they both overvalue the fuck out of Twitter. - That's the entire point of this long post, so I recommend you stop reading there (it's certainly where I should have stopped typing).
This thread is a shitload of drama over something that just isn't nearly as important as it desperately wants to be. It's a platform for 25-35 year olds (mostly dudes and arguably the absolute dumbest subset of the human population) to jerk each other off, with only about 10% of the users generating any content at all (and who knows what percent of those are bots). It isn't a public square (or whatever it was Musk said), it's not critical to the survival, function, or betterment of anyone or anything other than itself. It's classic tech industry bullshit. Nothing of substance is available there, although there are links to substantive materials if you can sift through the nonsense and find them. Twitter is aptly named, as it largely appeals to ADD addled twits.
All twitter really does is make know-nothing jags feel like they are part of something important by allowing them to communicate with underpaid assistants posing as people of actual importance. It's a dopamine hit for morons. Oh yeah, and it's a really fucking excellent resource for propaganda and other misuse (like all social media). The common refrain from supporters is how great it is for breaking news. The only problem with that is most breaking news is completely wrong, misses key elements, and provides absolutely zero substance or nuance. What an excellent way to become a complete imbecile. Even the sports stuff that breaks on Twitter is almost always completely fucking wrong. Fast news isn't good news.
I get it from an entertainment standpoint. I'm as susceptible as anyone else and have to actively work to avoid being sucked in by bullshit like Twitter. However, reading some of the posts about what is ultimately a giant advertisement machine is like dropping in on a fucking Scientology meeting. I recommend putting Twitter away for a month and then taking stock of whether you actually missed out on anything.
