Read on Twitter
the only reason twitter is relevant is because people keep complaining about the toxicity (rightfully so). if this feature would real the site would kill itself immediately. https://twitter.com/SociableBarely/status/1298784265165930496
there is a reason why twitter made it so people can control the replies to their tweets. the bullshit excuse is just the icing on the cake.
every new feature that is going to be added in the future will be like this or is going to be one that keeps people psychologically fixed onto the screen.
media outlets are known to make absolutely batshit insane articles on purpose. the objective of all of them is to get attention which equals profit.
genuinely pretty clever since the tactic only works if people keep giving their shit attention. even if you know how this stuff works you'll still complain because it's so annoying.
it's the reason why this thread was made.
