My Farewell to Twitter
I&#x27;m was never at the level described by the author, but I left Twitter for the same thing. I too am a creator and I&#x27;d get retweets with very little action. That was a huge moment for me because I realized the reality of Twitter. It&#x27;s one giant bullshit factory.<p>You can even tell how much it affects the minds of people who are prolific other places. Writers for tech blogs stop writing about useful shit and start writing about the reactions of twitter posts. You can see how the self obsession causes people to try to craft those perfect 140 characters. Everyone thinks they are a comedian.<p>In the end I found that no matter how diverse your followership, Twitter is a hopeless echo chamber populated by twentysomethings with no real life experience who are chomping at the bit to eat you alive if you don&#x27;t conform to the enforced political correctness of the moment.<p>I&#x27;ll never go back.
