Some point I& #39;m gonna write an observational thread about the difference between now and a month ago when I had 300 fewer followers. But the tldr is that I get a lot more notifications now than I used to, and it& #39;s harder to keep things straight.
A month ago, if I said something, it might get a couple likes from the people I know and otherwise go unnoticed. Now...

Well, the tweet above this one has 11 already, and it& #39;s been like two minutes.
Off-hand comments get retweeted.

Stuff I said yesterday finds traction today.

Something about this fundamentally isn& #39;t right.
I& #39;m losing track of the conversation because there& #39;s all this...noise. 15 likes. 18. 30. 67. 214.

I& #39;m pointing this out now because if you ever look at big accounts and wonder why they act differently...their entire experience using this app is different.
And this isn& #39;t a positive thing. Like...sure, I can drop a link to one of my games now and expect to get at least one sale out of it, and we can talk about how a person should feel about that, but the engagement level is just...

this isn& #39;t what life should be like, I don& #39;t think
Nobody& #39;s doing anything wrong.

But the top tweet of this thread is at 18 likes now. just a constant stream of "You said a good thing" coming from a thousand strangers.

That, uh

That can change a person.
