Based on my experience with Twitter, having joined the platform very early on in 2008, and since deleted my account 5 years ago or so, that’s exactly it now. 90% of posts on Twitter are by those looking for self validation rather than anything really constructive. The blue checkmarks don’t matter, the “community context” or whatever hasn’t lead to any change. It’s wild that the way to defeat Twitter, which is to get off Twitter, is something few are doing.
