if you're still using twitter, then you deserve exactly everything you're getting from it
Yes, and I'm not using xtter, but I'm still being effected by it. As is everyone on the planet.
*affected. One is a noun usage (effect) and one is a verb usage (affect)
Effect can also be a verb. You can effect change, and thus affect people's lives.
Yes, true, but this is a lesser used form of Effect, and I thought it better not to muddy the waters for someone trying to learn the arbitrary rules we've assigned to one of the more difficult to understand languages in the world: English.
exactly. which is why i shit on it and people using it at every opportunity
Shitting on people is a lot less effective than showing them something better.
"something better" in this case is getting rid of the notion that microblogging is even something that anyone needs
The thing that makes me nuts is people justify it by, "but it's the only place I can find (person or service)."
Back in my day! People posted their products and services on multiple platforms to reach a broader audience. If the creator you like is too lazy to market themselves, having gotten spoiled on "Xitter will do my marketing for me," then that's on them. Encourage them to post on other platforms in order to reach you.
They are complicit and so are you.
Kamala Harris isn't a 'creator'
Exactly. As simple as this.
How else is someone going to find out about Biden retiring? Twitter is the official government platform.
apparently not for much longer, if this post is true
